Happens all the time,i call this senior moments.
Bending over or kneeling is also becoming quite a effort.
I think this all goes together.

I recently got myself absolutely fuming because I yet again couldn't find my pen. Stomped about all over the staty looking for it.
I found it, in my hand

Socks!!! How on earth can they be lost from the washing machine back to the sock drawer. OH has so many single socks of varying colours, its untrue!

Try putting them in a net bag in the machine. It works for us.

That is far too organised! I have managed to round up most of the strays into a giant bag for sorting - again... As I can never find a pair I end up buying more which I am told doesn't help

I once saw a notice in a pub which said,"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most" I'd go along with that!

When you put your purse in the fridge and a block of butter in your handbag thats when its time to worry believe me..............

In our house its remote controls that go missing, garage door ones in particular they normally turn up on a shelf or in a coat pocket and the tv one seems to have a homing device to the bottom of the sofa!

I was going to 'quote' the posts in this thread that had made me laugh - but there're too many!

Thanks all for the laughs, peeps.

I was so frustrated with my marbles (or lack of) a few years back, I was genuinely concerned it might be early dementia. A friend explained,

"When you can't remember where you've put your keys, that's getting older. When you find your keys, look at them, and wonder what those are for, that's dementia."

I have found that a source of great comfort ever since.

Sandy,
I'm with you on the bag. I have a big bag thats a bit like Mary Poppins one. You never know what you are going to find at the bottom. Recently its been a disused light bulb and a pair of dirty socks. Still I need to look on the positive side, at least its a pair of socks and not just one.

Ha ha Sally, think I have had a pair in my bad before but its more often dog biscuits. I put things in my bag so I can put them in the place they should be but that does not always happen.....The day of the pants and phone I dreaded being searched when I went food shopping, I would have been so embarrassed.

Last year I went into a house ware shop to buy some pretend flowers, I picked some up and was shocked that they were not the £1.99 that I thought the label said, I did not have my glasses at that time, well the women took me to the spot and I had got it wrong so I said its my lack of glasses and made a little joke then turned round and walked into the window as I thought it was the way out...I bet the staff laughed about that all day, I did!!
