    I'm being driven slowly demented by the perishing thing :wallbanging: :wallbanging: :wallbanging:

    I *know* I unpacked it when I moved here.
    I've even posted pictures which I took (having charged it!) back in October when I had my fencing done.
    Yes, I have changed rooms around and wiggled and jiggled items/boxes/bags up to and down from the loft .... but can I find the perisher now!? :dunno:
    Can I heck as like :nonofinger: :mad:
    Haven't seen it since before Christmas (when we had another major toing and froing from the loft when visitors came/tree & decs were put up)

    So: if any of our members happen to have a psychic bent ...:whistle: ... :dunno: ... :help: :help: :help:

        Two suggestions M.

        1. One of the visitors nicked it.

        2. It got packed away with the Christmas decorations.

        Hope this helps, not sure if it will as I'm not psychic or bent (unless you count a slightly dodgy back). :old:

            Buy a new one "M", the old one will turn up then. :biggrin:

            I reckon it's in the loft somewhere. :)

              where did you see it last ? :whistle:

              sorry, I couldn't resist :snork: I've found two items I thought I'd lost by dreaming about them (I'm not joking, the first was a set of car keys!) perhaps if you have a nice candle light bath, with a bottle of Red and an early night the answer may come to you?

                That's probably why it went missing in the first place:heehee::loll::lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                  Mrs Shiney's aunt had a foolproof way of remembering where she had misplaced something. She would lie flat on her back on the floor for 15 minutes. She then remembered where she had put it. Her argument was that it allowed the blood to flow to her head and jog her memory! :noidea:

                  What make is the charger and what shape is the battery? A member might have an old one lying around. :blue thumb:

                    Good idea Shiney, I've got a spare charger, if only I could remember where I put the camera :)

                      I feel exactly the same way about my Vax cleaner, so that's 2 of us being driven demented.
                      I agree, buy another, if you can find one with the same fitting!! Here, have a hug :grphg:

                          What camera is it for?

                          Because if everybody else is like me and never chucks the charger and batteries out when the camera fails somebody might have one (only just disposed of about 20 old type Nokia mobile phone chargers, kept a couple though just in case).

                            Well, I have just gone through (and culled!) 8 boxes ... EIGHT! :phew:
                            But it's not in those ones :thud:

                            It is a Casio camera and the battery is a square lithium one.

                            I haven't given up just yet ... off to cull some more boxes :paladin:

                              That narrows it down a bit, if it's an np20, 40, or 60 you can get a replacement charger off ebay for a max of £4.99 delivered from within the UK. The day after you order it you will find the original charger and you will then have 2 chargers. The following week you will lose/break your camera.
