<<Rant Mode On>>

Sure I saw it a few hours ago but can I find the bloody thing now, so come on own up, who moved it???

Just know as soon as I order another one it'll turn up, problem is that I could do with one sharpish.

What you all need is one healthy garage fire, like i had in July this year

As EVERYTHING in the garage has been removed, cleaned or destroyed,
My garage is so empty (of clutter) i think i could actually go out there with my eyes closed and find anything i need

But of coarse a fire is a tad destructive, and emotionly very upsetting !!

Give up on the job where you need it, spend 2 hrs setting up something different to do, and the tap wrench will suddenly just be there on the bench in front of you!

A couple of years ago I did what I should have done a decade back - put up a great big board, painted it white, hammered some nails in to hold the tools & drew round each tool with a black felt-tip pen. Then I got into the habit of putting back everything I use as soon as I've finished with it.

I still lose everything that doesn't have a place on that board though...

Did you check the toilet or the fridge?

Good Call!

Spent ages looking for a particular screwdriver before (had another that would do the job, but that wasn't the point) only to be asked by SWMBO why I'd left a screwdriver sat on the cistern in the downstairs lav and why there were oliy finger marks on the light switch

Trouble is I'd lose the board.

Hmm, just like my welding gloves.. put them down to move position and there they go wandering off on their own. Damn things!

I had a spare upper and lower shroud for the steering and I am buggered if I can find it.

So do mine! Do you think they're planning a massive spanner reunion?


l0rd - 4/10/10 at 08:55 PM

wellllll

did you find it?

When did you last use it. Where did you last see it? Is it inside a pocket on your trousers?


RichardK - 4/10/10 at 09:33 PM

Nah, got another coming from the bay, another £5 out of pocket!

Cheers
