Anyone here that is psychically good at locating lost objects?

Long shot but I've seen threads before so...

Can anyone tell me where my door key is?

It’s wedged in a little corner of your bag.

GloomySkies · 08/07/2023 22:44

Still in the keyhole outside
In your pocket
In the lining of your jacket
Bottom of your handbag - completely empty it and turn out the lining.
In the fridge/breadbin beside the milk/bread you brought home

I couldn't find the key to my school locker for ages, it had fallen into the hem of my school skirt.

How long ago did you last use it? What did you do when you came in? Any other people or pets in the house?

Porageeater · 08/07/2023 22:46

We just found dd’s lost key in her washbasket

Porageeater · 08/07/2023 22:46

Laundry basket I mean

Iamkittycat · 08/07/2023 22:46

Do you have a toddler? Mine hid the door key in the letter box. Only found it when the post arrived.

JodyMitchell · 08/07/2023 22:47

Could you have left it in the door last time you unlocked it and it’s now been taken? Change the lock to be on the safe side.

No pets but yes to other people, last used several weeks ago 😵‍💫

I have a 5yo but don't think he would have touched it

In the washing machine, somewhere on the kitchen floor in a corner or under the edge of an appliance like the fridge freezer.

transformandriseup · 08/07/2023 22:58

Maybe write down everything you have done since you last remember seeing it including what clothes/jacket you were wearing and start from there. I go into a blind panic when I can't find something but one I've remembered what I had been doing recently I usually remember where it is.

That often works for me too...but not possible in this case as it's been weeks since I actually used the key

Ask St Anthony, just remember to say please. 😉

CountingMareep · 08/07/2023 23:02

I pray to St Anthony, the patron saint of lost objects and travel. One of my rings turned up in my wash bag while I was abroad on holiday one year, after I’d had a word with him, worried I hadn’t seen it in a while and thinking it had been left behind at my mum’s. Oh, I know these things are always coincidences, but, you know, mysterious ways…

Aysh86 · 08/07/2023 23:03

Down the side of the sofa
And check all your trouser pockets too!

Great minds. 😁

You sat on a chair and it fell out of your pocket, so it's by the chair leg.

This is how I found my dad's lost car keys a few days ago...

WWYDIYWMRN · 08/07/2023 23:18

St Anthony has helped me many a time to be fair. I will try him. Don't know why I didn't think of him. Well I do... basically the key is either lost elsewhere or it's somewhere bizarre in my house.

Was hoping someone with the vision could help, but St Ant is a good shout.

It's not under the fridge but will recheck the sofa!
