Tips on finding lost things in the home?

Question

well, presumably they are in the home, i have no idea where they are. I remembered my jeans were in my rucksack, but i cant find my ruck sack for the life of me, i assume i brought it home last time i travelled but my bf at the time (ex now, which i can NOT contact, he wouldnt remember where it was anyway even if he did put it somewhere), ive looked everywhere i can think of (how hard is it to spot a big ruck sack with an orange & red plastic bag tied to it?) but i cant find it. My jeans, lap top disks etc were in it. its driving me bonkers. i wanted to wear my jeans tonight but maybe i should give up & buy new ones. * make do with something else. i cant figure out where it is?

Answer 1

well, I usually start sorting out a room at a time if something is mislaid, it doesn't often happen as I try to put things away where they supposed to be! Start searching methodically and as for wearing those jeans tonight? they probably stink and will need a good wash....................

Answer 2

Well maybe your bf has the ruck sack....

Try cleaning up the house and maybe you'll stumble upon it. As for the jeans being needed tonight, i would buy a new pair as you probably wont find it in time.

retrace your steps :)

Answer 3

Start off in one room and even if you no it won't be in that room just start there and check every possible place in that room, then move onto the next and don't start throwing things out of cupboards and make a bigger mess, good luck and i'd allow myself time later to get to town and buy some new ones.

Answer 4

I will tell you, like I tell my husband.  If you put things back in their place, each time, you wouldn't have problems finding things.  Got it?

Answer 5

Someone told me that St Anthony is the patron saint of lost items!!    Whether this is right or not -whenever I 'mislay' something for any length of time I usually ask for his help  -  and it works..   Good luck.

Answer 6

If you are tidy then there will be less wasted time looking.
