    Until he finds out that he lost it at the weekend, his Mrs has found it and is waiting for him to own up...

      It would be deceitful. One lie always leads to another, so that by the time you are found out, you have sweated buckets over it and all you've got is a bigger pack of lies to stand trial for. Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive.

        Same thing happened to me a few days ago.

        It was below the automatic towel dispenser where I was drying my hands, must has pushed it off when hands were wet and soapy...

          You're right of course. It would be like that cat Jinx in Meet the Parents.

              Brazen it out...

              If she asks, just say - I lost it - what of it?

              Then tell her to stop whining and put the kettle on.

              They flit about from one thought to another, in ten minutes it'll be something else they want to worry about.

                  Shes got all that. I'm fooked. She now knows and reckons its a sign (she believes in spiritualists etc).

                  Anyway I can't speak to her now until Tuesday!

                    Maybe one of her spiritualists can track it down?

                      Yes - it's a sign that you're a dozy pillock.

                      Tell her that and she might go for it...
