Title: £20 Reward.
Post by: RED-DOG on December 06, 2017, 12:03:51 PM
A week ago, I lost a woolly hat and a pair of reading glasses.

I didn't leave home all day except to take the dogs for a walk first thing and I definitely had them when I got back.

It's been driving me crazy. I mean, a woolly hat isn't like a pound coin or your car keys, if you drop it it won't roll under the settee or get lost in the grass.

Where could it be?

Why have my glasses gone too?

The hat is grey and the glasses are tortoise shell BTW.

TIA,

Mrs Red hid them, as she thought you looked so daft wearing them.

Send my £20 reward to charity please.

She pleads not guilty.

Apparently I look daft with or without a hat and my little friend is an idiot too.

My bonnet under a bonnet? Good shout, but I didn't do anything to the motors that day.

Are they in the pocket of the coat you were wearing whilst walking the dogs?

Did you bring a bag with you?

No. That's the thing you see, I always wear the same fleece when I walk the dogs, then when I get back I hang the fleece behind the door and put the had in the left pocket, unless it's wet, then I throw it in the radiator.

Later in the day I was going outside to re-set the stone that the gate rests on. I grabbed my fleece, put my hand in my pocket for the hat and.. No hat.

Then I realised that my glasses were gone too.

The moles reappear.

Hat and glasses disappear.

Coincidence ?  I think not.

You prob threw them in the bin or flushed them down the toilet.  It's called a senior moment.

Given the demographic of the remaining regularly posting members these threads will become a daily occurence until people start losing their laptops and phones.

Did you pop them on the side next to the coats, then cover them up with a newspaper or other reading material?

I reckon the problem here is the glasses. Find the glasses and you'll probably see the hat 😂

It will be the last place you look so just look there.

Years ago I left my passport in a scanner and spent a whole panicked day trying to find it after needing it to check in for a flight. Felt like a right muppet but also very relieved when I realised it wasn't lost forever.

Losing a woolly hat can be devastating - I have had mine for 30 years + - hope you find it soon - glasses can be replaced but a woolly hat is forever.

TBH I'm not really worried about the hat, I cam buy another for a quid on the market, the thing that bothers me is I don't know what happened to it.

In that sense it's just as big a mystery as the meaning of life. I don't know the answer to that question either and I will probably never find out.

I've tried to work through it logically, There is nowhere here that it could be that I haven't looked, except in the dustbin and surely there is no way I could have put my hat and glasses in the dustbin?


Please don't make me look in the dustbins. I take my own bins to the tip and and so that I don't have to go too often I have four large wheelie bins which I fill to capacity with every kind of horrible filth you can imagine, and what's more when they're full I put my wellies on and jump on the contents to compress it so that I can get even more disgusting stuff in.

Please don't make me look in the dustbins.

I wouldn't be wearing them, but I have then with me all the time, usually on my head or, if my head is occupied, hooked on the front of my jersey/t shirt.

No. I don't wear a jumper when I'm out walking. I wear a t shirt and a zip-up fleece.. When I start out on winter mornings I'm usually a bit chilly but I walk very briskly which makes me warm, so then I can just unzip the fleece without taking anything off.

Just checked the bins.

It was a doddle when I realised I could just transfer the rubbish from one to the other using a posting shovel.

Sigh sigh sigh.

They were down by the side of my chair.

Don't start, I've got enough to put up with with this lot.

Anyway, they weren't properly by the side of my chair, they were near the corner, almost round the back, but not far enough around the back to be visible when I looked.









Shut up.
