This happens quite often

And you found it where it should be after 30 minutes of searching.

JA

Or when you just received the replacement you bought!…..

Hint: Unless the searching has really driven you mad … the item will be in the last place you look

Stop looking for it, do something else and it will turn up without further specific looking for it

A friend of mine had a most untidy workshop, but could still put his hand on whatever he needed. I asked him how he managed to find ANYTHING ?

His reply was pure gold : T,is simply a question of remembering where you last dropped it !

Enough said.

Yes! That’s about right. 😆

Well, obviously! Once you have found it, you stop looking so by definition you found it in the last place you looked! Certainly, though, it will be in the last place you would have expected to find it.

In my case, things turn up just after I have spent two days making a replacement. At least I then have a spare! Won’t be able to find it later, of course, and so the cycle continues…

Nothing more obvious than that statement.  Perhaps only the poster would continue looking in other places, after finding it?😆

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

Perhaps my ‘wink’ smiley was a little too subtle for your crass mentality

… Welcome back, Not Got It Yet

I was only reinforcing Nealeb’s post.  Glad it to hissed you off. 😆😆😆

Play nicely children 😀

PS:- I keep planning to paint the shed floor white, to help locating springs/screws/washers/things, but still haven’t got a round tuit.

[Nigel Graham 2Participant @nigelgraham2]

Sure you don’t have a round tuit. Or have you, but have not seen it for so long you can’t recall having obtained it, let alone which safe place houses it?

A few years ago I bought a book. I read Chapter One…. I did not take it out of the house, but I have not seen it since.

A few days ago I removed two parts from my steam-wagon….. I think they have found the book and are hiding with it.
