I've lost my reading glasses. Any psychics or wise and intuitive people who can help me find them?

As I recall, the last time I used them was Friday in the garden as I read a book in the evening sun. Pretty certain I brought them indoors after my reading session. I would have likely put them in the kitchen or the living room.

Didn't need to use them yesterday because it was a busy day doing Other Stuff.

This afternoon I wanted to use the reading pair for close up stuff but I can't find them. I fortunately have an 'intermediate' pair of glasses that I can wear as a substitute which I have been doing for general stuff.

Looked in all the obvious (and less obvious) places, even rifled through the kitchen bin in case they had ended up there. Nil, nada, zilch... There is the possibility that the dog may have hidden them for the hell of it but it's unlikely...

Ergo I need the help of all you intuitive/psychic etc. people if you have a moment to let me know where they are!

My heart says down the side of a chair, my head says look in your bed.

Good idea! It's possible the dog stole them and took them to my bed - I'll check in a minute

They aren't on your head are they?!

In a pocket. I often find mine is a hoodie pocket.

Nope, no pockets...

I saw a notice pinned to a tree near my house, it said to knock on the door of house no.34 if you've mislaid some glasses.

Fizzadora · 18/06/2023 19:34

Could you have dropped them on your way back in and kicked them into a border out of sight?

Crikeyalmightey · 18/06/2023 19:34

Check the "whatnot" drawer in the kitchen. I sweep all sorts of stuff into ours. Or your watering can. The dog dropped them in there for a laugh..... 🐶

LilyAndTheKing · 18/06/2023 19:35

On the shelf near the toilet, underneath your coats perhaps.

Pray to St Anthony

Are they thin glasses? I found some in a book being used as a bookmark before

I will do that now given that "pinning the devil" is clearly not working! Thanks!

🧐 Next to the gin and tonic bottles?
🧐 In the freezer with the ice cube tray
🧐 In the recycling bin 🤷‍♀️

EllaRaines · 18/06/2023 19:43

At the back of the fridge with items in front?

Feelingsickrightnow · 18/06/2023 19:44

Tissue box? That’s where I found mine ones.

SaxSick · 18/06/2023 19:44

They're on top of your head !

My heart says down the side of a chair, my head says look in your bed.

@SisterAgatha BINGO! Thank you so much! You clearly have the ability to think laterally and mystically. Either that or my Pin The Devil and the quick prayer to St Anthony aided and abetted your solution xxxx.

I went and checked my bedding - nothing there. Felt an urge to look in the top drawer of the bedside cabinet where I put my mobile at night and there they were! I have never left them there before! Excellent result!

In the cupboard next to the gin bottle...
In the fridge with the lemons...
In the fridge with whatever you prepped for dinner...

Inside or underneath the sun hat...

With the latest newspaper you read...

Near the bathroom sink...

Underneath the bedside table...

Failing all that, pray to Saint Anthony!

CandyLeBonBon · 18/06/2023 19:47

Phew op! I was reading with trepidation and I'm so glad you've found them!

AdaColeman · 18/06/2023 19:48

Oh no cross posted! Saint Anthony saves the day yet again!

ParklifePenguin · 18/06/2023 19:49

Tucked on a curtain rail!

Rory Stewart once tweeted that if you’ve lost something, it’s almost always where you thought it was, in other words - look again more carefully where you first looked. One of his most popular tweets, he was deluged with people telling him it had worked.

Curlygirl06 · 18/06/2023 19:52

On a similar theme, we've found some RayBan sunglasses in our old car but no one knows who they belong to. We've had the car 15 years, no idea how long they've been there!
Anyone lost their sunglasses in the last few years? Lol.

Great news- happy reading

Daisymay2 · 18/06/2023 19:56

Well OP , I almost thought you were me, but I hate gin.
I've found my missing reading glasses as well. Went back into the garden and they were on the grass a few feet from the chair I sat in yesterday. Wet though!!
Thanks all

@Daisymay2 glad to be of service! But I wonder how anyone can hate gin, but then each to their own :) Thank you once again to everyone for your help xxx

In a drawer in my dressing table if I'm upstairs, ditto phone, don't ask me why?
