My grans engagement ring which went missing during a house move in 1999.

I know exactly where it was..in a tiny tin on a shelf in our bedroom in my in-laws house..and then it just.. vanished.

A very fine gold bangle which my parents bought me for my 21st birthday. I never really wore it but stored it in a jacket pocket when we went on holiday and then threw the jacket out with a load of other clothes whilst having a mass clear out. Obviously, I will never find it again but I was devastated and promptly bought a safe where my other non valuable, but important to me stuff is now kept.

My honeymoon photos, actual prints as this was 39 years ago. Went missing when we moved.

At my parents house we had some black and white/sepia photographs of my grandmother dancing with a group of other young women. They were in beautiful costumes and it looked like ballet - she was probably around 15 so this would have been taken around 1920.
When my Mum died and I emptied the house I couldn't find them anywhere. I would love to see them again.

My grandmother's recipes. I didnt actually "have" them in the first place but I wish I'd asked for them when she was alive.

I've found similar recipes online but its never quite the same. For that reason my DS asked me to write down all the recipes of mine he loves, step by step!

AHH same. Especially the recipe for my nanny's Christmas cake. She made them every year. I still have a bag of plastic cake decorations of hers 🥹

A Kindle with hundreds of great books loaded on it for me by a friend . Lost between home and arriving on holiday in Portugal . Still wish I had it .

My engagement ring . Disappeared many moons ago. Lots of photos which stuck together due to our house flooding. I am hoping one day some technology will exist to salvage them.
