Hey ​@chrisablake - hope you’re doing well?

 

Sorry to hear about the lost comment - any other details on where that happened so we could potentially have a look into it and see if we can help?

 

Weather has been crazy hot down my neck of the woods - bit cooler today though.

Hope it’s nice where you are and you’re not getting on too bad 😊

 

Speak soon,

Would you believe I did it again. Lost my post. Did it get posted? Unfortunately my fingers act independently, involuntary twitching. Just goes to prove I’m unlucky. 
Warning don’t stand behind me in a queue or your plane will leave before you get to desk or the film at the cinema will be finished if you stand behind me 😁 mind you I do seem to learn people’s life journey and often their families & neighbours too. Even my husband hates standing with me. 😂

 

Thank you for your lovely comment

Hi Chris,

I do the same thing.

When you type a bit, copy it so you can always paste if you lose it.

I do this often when I’m typing stuff. 

Have a great day!  :)

Don't worry. Keep trying. We're still here.

 

Regarding socks, somewhere in the the universe there is a pile of warm, soapy socks because you put an even number into a washing machine but one less come back out.

 

Tupperware lids have the ability to shape shift into something else when I'm looking for them but change back when my wife looks. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Nah, there is a creature called the ‘unspotted sock eater’.
It’s natural habitat is hidden in washing machines, or occasionally in laundry baskets.

(Apparently it does have spots that blend with the holes in the washing machine drum as camouflage, which is why you’ll never spot one).

Last time I bought socks I got a dozen identical pairs off Amazon. (plain black).
No problems here looking for a matching sock, or if one gets holed or goes missing (or gets eaten).

 Thank for your reply Ive given up looking for lids I believe they go off to have a pity party with all the lost pens I can never find when on the phone or if they are findable the inks run out, to where is anyone’s guess. Oh yes I digressed Lids No longer look, as I grab the cling film, that also doesn’t play a fair game, always splits and messes up the roll. I think the cling film is in competition with the end of the cello-tape who also goes I don’t know where, maybe with the lids and/or socks having a great crack of a laugh, at my expense. 
Oh yes I believe the socks run away/elope with the gloves. 
Hey Ho. If I work out the truth I’ll be back & share the answer. 
Enjoy the rest of your day. 😜

Chris.

After great thought I can be sure it happen in the lounge, while sitting on the sofa, semi listening to Judge Judy. Maybe it’s really a multi skill deficiency 

Ill let you know if a) I find it. b) it turns up. 
​​​​​​Im suspicious my partner was vacuuming around me and may have sucked it up, 🤔 debatable if by accident 🥴 Note to self Pay attention when my partner hovering & talking to me  

 

Have a good day Don’t work to hard

 Nukecad Wow you found a solution to the sick dilemma well works if you want to wear only black. Our grandkids now deliberately wear odd socks of different colours and patterns actually quite a fashion trend. May try that from now on. 
Anyone who hasn’t lost socks in the laundry is a Liar 🤔 IMO 🙄

Have a good day

Haha Judge Judy does have that affect on people! 

 

Thank you for starting this thread - it’s been a real pleasure to have some fun, silly and positive chatter for us all. 

 

P.S - Good luck with emptying that hoover - who knows what you may find in there?
