Last week I lost my perfectly serviceable Seiko watch that I've had for 5 years. I looked everywhere for it, and came to the conclusion that I must have left it in the changing room at the swimming pool. I phoned the pool, and had no luck, so went out looking for another one yesterday.
Found the ideal watch, BUT it was very expensive. Far more than I have ever spent on a watch before, but I phoned dh, and as it's our 10th wedding anniversary at the end of this month, he said I could have it as a joint anniversary and Christmas present. Went home very pleased with myself.
Today I found the old watch in the pocket of my apron. I made mince pies after coming in from swimming last week. Me baking is such a rarity that I forgot I'd done it, and failed to look in my apron.....
