Where are my sunglasses?! Specifically my prescription sun glasses that I definitely had the weekend before the one just gone, wore them in DH’s car and remember thinking I needed to bring them in for the school run in the morning. And then… gone!

help!

Re-enact the whole thing
(ideally wearing exact same clothes and holding same bags)

  • you're in the car, you think need to bring these in for the school run in morning, then.............???

Mine are in my rucksack if this helps

It was more than a week ago on the bank holiday Monday so can’t do it exactly but certainly can try! We’d been to look at a bathroom store, needed them on the way there but not back as it was a bit late. They were on the dash, I was going to leave them but remembered it was school the next morning and I’d need them for the drive. I definitely picked them up, and we’ve gone through his car and they’re not there…. Honestly long Covid can do one, I’m never usually this forgetful!

In the boot with the bundle of bags for life you keep in there for supermarket runs?

You used a different handbag?
or a different coat or hoodie for a change (with a pocket) as the weather was milder?
you’ve not worn it again since

No handbag, no. I can’t remember what I was wearing but I do have a light jacket that has deep pockets that I haven’t worn for a few days at least…. Will check it.

Frisk/ question the DC (often works in my house, my DD in particular is a bit prone to trying my things on then leaving them somewhere you didn't leave them).

I offered £10 to the first child to find them 😂 none of them were successful. Or £10 just isn’t enough!

Does DH wear glasses - have you tried his cases? What have you been doing this week? Work, shopping, cleaning? Dare I say tidying!?

you knew they needed to come in. Is that for something specific like a trip? If so associated place - eg getting ready for a weekend away you’d also be packing a suitcase so maybe put them there ready to pack?

Sunglasses found, well done DD! On top of my drawers, I must’ve looked over them a million times!
