The last time that happened I lost some very rare documents which had got in amongst the mess. I'm keen to not repeat that, obviously but right now - as an example - two things are occupying my mind:
- Where have the brass wire brushes for my Dremel gone?
- What have I done with the amber light bulbs I bought for the electric fire that keeps me warm?
It's not unknown for me to lose something, get frustrated at my inability to find it and just purchase a new one. I did that last week with my cordless mouse and literally, ten minutes after I ordered the new mouse I found the original one. I really should send that back, except the PO has closed.
I should add there's no heating/hot water here either; the system sprang a leak and after being told I'd have to wait weeks for a plumber, I decided I'd fix it myself and do a modification whilst I'm at it.
That'll be three years ago next month.
