Envelope with christmas cash in. Was sat on couch.

Found envelope in bin.

Have vague recollection of folding the money on couch.

I have memory issues due to meds. I really need it :(

Take all the cushions off the sofa.
Empty your pockets.
Check dressing gown pockets.
Check the bin.

I hope you find it!

Don't panic. Grab a piece of paper and think of everywhere you went and everything you did between now and then. It will turn up

StealthPolarBear · 24/12/2018 23:38

Coat pockets. Bag. Do you have a safe place in the house where you keep cash?

JuniperBeer · 24/12/2018 23:38

Pockets of jeans? Coats? Drawers in lounge? Book shelves?

Lostmecash · 24/12/2018 23:41

I have had my pjs on all day. No pockets at all. Pocketless jumper too.

Can't see it down couch

In the bin? Under the sofa?

JuniperBeer · 24/12/2018 23:44

Is the living room tidy? Start at one corner of the room. And literally work left to right. Lifting, looking.
If it’s not tidy. Can you have a tidy, and by putting stuff away you might find it? How much are we talking? Thinking so I know how thick a bundle!

LLOE7 · 24/12/2018 23:45

I know this is obvious but have you checked your purse/handbag?

Tiredmumno1 · 24/12/2018 23:46

Room by room, left to right and lifting everything as pp said.

Look behind things as you go.

Good luck, I hope you find it quickly.

Lostmecash · 24/12/2018 23:49

It's not a lot. £100 in 20s. But it's what I need to survive until next Monday

Did you put some in cards as presents? Have you popped to your car with it? We're you reading a book or newspaper? Have you put shopping or clothes away? Have you put a wash on? Have you been interrupted in the middle of something?

Good luck!

Singlenotsingle · 24/12/2018 23:51

Usually when I lose my glasses they've slid under the sofa

TheLittlestLightOnTheTree · 24/12/2018 23:55

Check the fridge

Gileswithachainsaw · 24/12/2018 23:56

Sock drawer

DishranawaywiththeSpoon · 24/12/2018 23:57

If youve been in your Pjs all day im guessing you haven't left the house? In which case it must be somewhere in the house so you just have to find it.

Don't panic, start in the living room (last known location of the cash) and work methodically, left to right. Lift everything up, look under everything. Don't panic search just methodically sift through everything.

Then onto next most likely room, the room the bin is in? Kitchen? And so on and so forth. As a last resort go through the bin. Do you have s dressing gown or hoody with pockets you've worn? Have you checked down the side of the sofa, in all the cracks under the cushions and underneath the sofa?

So you have a filing draw/cabinet/folder? Is it in there or down the back of it?

abitoflight · 24/12/2018 23:57

I know!!
It's somewhere safe!Smile
I put loads of stuff there

DishranawaywiththeSpoon · 24/12/2018 23:59

Also it's definitely not in your purse or bag? I know it sounds really silly but I always panic search for things to find I've put them in their normal location.

Urbanbeetler · 25/12/2018 00:01

Do you live alone? Any visitors who might have seen it?

BreconBeBuggered · 25/12/2018 00:06

It's not in your bra, is it? If you wear one with pyjamas, that is. I lost £40 the other day and it turned up there.

TwigTheWonderKid · 25/12/2018 00:21

Have you left the house? Anyone else in the house with you? Have you emptied the bins since you last had the money? If not, it must be there somewhere. Just keep looking...

Skatersbeskating · 25/12/2018 00:23

In the cup cupboard.

tectonicplates · 25/12/2018 08:03

Have you done any washing or clothes folding? I'm sure there was someone on here a couple of months ago who found their money under a pile of towels that were folded up on a shelf.

Lostmecash · 25/12/2018 15:12

Found it.

Asked DS to get me an empty carrier bag and it was inside it! Christ knows why it was there Confused
