I'm desperate 😪
I've seen these threads before, and sometimes they help.
Ive lost my work mobile. I'm gonna get such a total bollocking 😪 last time I used it was at home, and I thought it was in a bag I use but its gone. I've checked everywhere I can think of and all the silly places too. it's totally vanished into thin air and tried to think back everywhere I've been, but no sign anywhere....
Please help ...!!

Last time we lost a phone it wasn't really lost - just couldn't see it as it blended into the background.
I think it was in the car somewhere but was the same colour as the carpet or side pocket.

On a floor somewhere

BrightNewLife · 17/06/2024 22:34

Retrace your steps and every action
Did you perch it on top of somewhere in a loo?
Blazer pocket lining ?
Handbag lining ?
Tucked in a notebook or folder?
work: left on a tray/tea trolley/colleague desk?

Washing machine ?

The phone is a black brick , a big Samsung in an indestructible black case.
I just can't remember when I definitely last saw it.... Apart from the last time I definitely used it to call someone when I was in the house. I don't recall putting it back in my bag.... though I might have done.
Bloody perimenopause fog brain 😪

Do you have a garden? I'm always putting my phone on a bin or balancing it on a trellis.

Tatapie · 17/06/2024 22:39

Under / down the back of a desk or table ?

Avatartar · 17/06/2024 22:46

Fridge, food cupboard, airing cupboard, bookshelf, by coffee/tea storage, cutlery drawer, under the post

anunlikelyseahorse · 17/06/2024 22:55

Pocket in your work bag?
Pocket in your coat?
Under or in an A4 file (if you use them)
In your diary or with the client papers of the last client you phoned?
Slipped under your desk or in a desk drawer
Can you remember where you were when you made the call? Were you doing anything at the same time? Could it be under a pile of laundry?
On a book shelf
On a stereo speaker?
Did you make the phone call from your office?
Or were you coming in from the garden, and put it on a radiator in the hall
Or bowl in the kitchen?

rupsky · 17/06/2024 22:57

Down the side of car seat, under the car seat?

Twix42 · 17/06/2024 23:03

It's definitely not in the car...I've checked several times..
It's not anywhere logical at all . I even checked inside the freezer... nope.

Behind a radiator? Bedside table? In a cupboard?

Dressing gown pocket, found mine in there after turning house upside down!

I'll raise you.

My mobile was last seen in my dressing gown pocket.

My dressing gown was spinning merrily in the washing machine by the time I realised 😬

bossybloss · 17/06/2024 23:24

In the outside bin?IUnder your pillow?Kitchen drawer?

pearface · 17/06/2024 23:38

I tried to zone into this to see if I have the gift and felt strongly that it's up high. Kitchen cupboard, shelf, on top of something.
Which probably means it's in the floor somewhere 🫠
Good luck, hope you find it.

Supersoakers · 17/06/2024 23:43

In a desk drawer, or under some papers

AtrociousCircumstance · 17/06/2024 23:44

It’s between the sofa and the wall, or a desk and a wall.

RogueFemale · 17/06/2024 23:46

Get someone to phone your mobile. Listen for ring.

Orders76 · 18/06/2024 00:19

Recheck everywhere in case you are having inattentive blindness.
Other than that check below places it was and within kicking distance.

Pieceofpurplesky · 18/06/2024 00:27

It's in a hall. On a table or shelf. You've put letters/papers over it from the letterbox.

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 18/06/2024 01:22

On top of something black so "invisible".
Check near where you would normally charge it.
Do you ever bring it to the loo?

Zoflorabore · 18/06/2024 01:25

Something is telling me it’s behind the microwave or in a drawer you don’t use often.

Twix42 · 18/06/2024 08:00

I found it!!!!!!!
It wasnt in the house all along
It was in my drawer at work on a wee bag. I do not recall putting it in there.

I actually burst into tears when I saw it.....

I am losing the plot with this perimenopause....

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. Im so glad it wasn't in the freezer or I think I'd be thinking dementia or something scary was going on.......

Yes!! Knew it was in a drawer! Left both mine in my work drawer the other day! Was a quick desk tidy before leaving the room.
