I Think I Have Finally Lost The Plot!

[Caran]

Decided to recharge my razor. Spent a while looking where to put the charger. Discovered I had a deodorant (Dove) in my hand.
Then I found the razor. Again looked where to plug the charger in. Took it apart and discovered it was battery operated!
I know I had one that needed recharging. I don't remember buying this one.
I don't know where the other one is either.
As I said I think I have lost it.

a nice cup of tea and all will be well !

[Caran]

Thanks Minty, a good idea.

[murraymints]

[Caran]

No problem!

Before my last holiday I put my razor in a prominent place, after I'd used it in the morning, to remind me to take it with me. I couldn't find it, so had to buy a new one. I still haven't found the old, one months later.

Don't worry, Caran. We all realised that you'd lost the plot ages ago!

I can't claim to be any different though. My camera uses a non-standard USB lead to charge it. The last time I needed to charge it I spent about half a day looking for the lead (not for the first time!) and vowed that I'd put it somewhere safe, so that I didn't have the same problem again.

Last Friday afternoon I realised that my camera needed charging again, so I started to look for the lead which I'd put 'somewhere safe'. Suffice it to say that I ordered a new lead on eBay on Friday evening ;-)

I'll join you in the lost the plot gang - I've just spent 4 hours picking stickers off Lego :(

[Caran]

Thank heavens I'm not on my own!

You've lost it? Lost mine years ago. Don't mention razors to me! I have been ill for quite some time and have recently come out of hospital after a 5 week stay. I was feeling so weak I hadn't had a haircut or shave in 6 months. I looked like a raggy-arsed tramp. A neighbour kindly took me to the Turkish barbers who gave me the full works. I thought, "this must not happen again", as I have always taken a pride in my appearance. As I still can't stand for the 5 minutes to have a wet shave I thought the next best option would be an electric razor. Haven't had one for years, but I knew I could sit in my armchair and look reasonably groomed. Thank God for Amazon. Anyway, the parcel arrived on Saturday and then my problems started. To begin with, I couldn't open the cardboard box. That took a full 10 minutes with aid of 2 kitchen knives. When I got the components out I thought I was laughing. Not so. I knew exactly what fitted where but could I put together? Like hell! As it was a weekend there was no-one on hand to help me and I am ashamed to say that I broke down in tears at my own incompetence. Eventually after a full hour I managed to get it together, something which would have taken 20 seconds thirty years ago

[Cloverjo]

You managed to do it, jackdaw. You'll get stronger again. Take it easy.

[Samuraisan]

Ahh Jackdaw.....

[tonyav]

Sorry to hear that you have been ill, jd.
But hey you got there in the end with putting the razor together.

[marval]

At least your persistence paid off jackdaw. Get fully better soon. It seems you are not alone Caran.

[tonyav]

'somewhere safe'.

Do you know, Chris I have been searching for many years for that 'somewhere safe', wish I could remember where it is. I have a real treasure trove there ;-)

[Bertrum]

If anyone finds the safe place can they have a look to see if my camera, watch, glasses, spare keys, wedding ring and little widget thing is in there

[sherrardk]

It's because of putting stuff 'somewhere safe' that I have got 15 Christmas stockings.

[gness]

Caran.....I really don't know whether I should reconsider holidaying with you...or just accept we'd get on brilliantly..... :-)

[Caran]

You have all made me feel so much better.
Jackdaw you did it in the end. Packaging is so much more a problem nowadays.
gness just think of the situations we could get into!

We used to have a sideboard with four drawers and OH was bemoaning not being able to find something. He decided to 'organise' and catalogue it so he placed things in each drawer in one of four locations left/right and back/front, so with four drawers there were sixteen locations all recorded on a card for each of the sixteen locations. He was so proud of his system, 'If you want something all you need to do is look on the card'. He lost the set of cards and never found them. No, I did not, not that devious.

Best thing I ever did was get a label maker and labelled all my chargers. All the ones I use infrequently I keep in one box, magc.
