    Glad it is not just me that suffers problems like this. Back around October/November, I needed a cable to connect my phone to my active speakers in my office so I could listen to Radio 2 (DAB & FM are non-existent in my office due to the amount of metal in our building), and the cable I plumped for on Amazon only came in a twin pack; great idea, the same cable would allow me to use my iPod or phone as a music source in the car, so the two worked out really handy.

    I have the one intended on my desk and it is used regularly - can I find its partner? Can I hell as like. I could have sworn I put it in the car, but I cannot find it anywhere. I have searched in the house, had my office upside down - - - nothing.

    And I just know, the day after I cave in and buy another twin pack, the original will turn up and I will have three of the bloody things

        Hard to answer, Jiffster :scratch: ... Mr "M" is search trained ... the consequence of that is (think hidey holes re Christmas/birthday etc) I have a good number of "safe" places just to keep his nebby nose out of things! :th scifD36:

        Tomorrow, I have a couple of places which I *may* have put it ... :fingers crossed: ... otherwise, I'm off to Ebay (kerching!)

            Did that at teatime (also mislaid a grooming comb I desperately need for Echo! So, I was looking for that ... ) ... located some of Mr "M"s hoard of nibbles dribbled, some dog dander and a pen (!? :dunno: ) but no money erm camera charger/cat comb :redface: :whistle:

            Really on a mission now because I sort of hoped that by posting about it, it would "miraculously" turn up :doh:

            Didn't help that when we moved here my study things were put in the study and my bedroom things were put in the bedroom: then, the bedroom became office and vice versa; then, the craft room come office became bedroom and vice versa and then ... as above! :doh: In the meantime, Mr "M" did the loft hiding in time for Christmas/visitors and then ... well, who knows!? :dunno: :doh:

            I *do* remember thinking: put it handy because it's important ... but, just where is "handy" :doh: And, I do have to say, it is very unlike me to not "know"! :th scifD36:

            Suffice to say, if Mr "M" doesn't buck his ideas up ... and remember where *he* has moved it to ... there'll be no liver and bacon for *him* when he's on rest day! :nonofinger: Hrumph! :paladin:

                You need to loose something else! The moment you start looking for something else you will find the dam thing! It's so irritating to loose stuff like that.
                I have at least 10 Nokia mobile phone chargers, well you know they might come in handy.....FOR WHAT i don't know! But no camera charges. Joking aside I hope you find it soon :fingers crossed:

                  Just had a thought, I don't suppose you went to stay with anyone over Xmas & you've let it there? Or if you had an over night bag it's not zipped up in one of the pockets is it? :scratch:

                      Handy in this house is usually in the kitchen, where's handy in yours?

                      Okay, last couple of ideas! You said that you'd been taking pics of your fencing the last time you saw the charger. You didn't by chance go into the garden with camera in one hand and charger in the other, then put it down to take the pics?

                      Have you checked the car? I know it's a very unlikely place but stranger things have happened! :)

                        Thank you, @Sheal - great ideas but a no-go :wallbanging:

                        On a positive front - my *now* bedroom has been thoroughly Spring cleaned, as has my office/craft room/study. Nada! :nonofinger:

                        So, I shall wait now until Mr "M" is on rest day (Sunday) and ask for yet more boxes/bags to be brought down for the slaughter. I *know* I will find it: I just *know* I will :th scifD36:

                        On another positive note: I found my MP3 player!! :yes:
                        Haven't seen that since I was at Uni :redface: :roflol: :oopss: :whistle:

                        Note to self: "M", try bliddy harder to keep up!! :doh:
