This drives me insane at times!

Me: "Where are the *whatever it is that has vanished*?"
Mrs MUN: "Have you looked in the *whatever it is that has vanished* drawer/box?"
Me: "The what? When did we get one of those? Which one is it?"
Mrs MUN *opens an unrelated drawer/box*: "Look, it's here".
Me: "When did that become the *whatever it is that has vanished* drawer/box?"
Mrs MUN: "I reorganised it ages *yeah right* ago"
Me: "No one told me"
Mrs MUN: "Well they are always in there"
Me: "Clearly they bloody aren't as I have never seen this before and I normally find them pretty easily"

etc.

The solution to that is to have an area that is your responsibility: BBG & I both have studies, they are both are a mess, but we each know where our stuff is.

The cleaner only hovers the bit of carpet / dust the bits they can see.

The rest of the house is tidy; when guests visit I just close the study doors.

I normally hide things in a safe place to stop the missus 'tidying' them which seems to be a euphemism for turning organised chaos into pure chaos

Shame I usually forget where I hide things though

I get caught out by this one as well.

Me : Where are my keys. I am sure I put them on my desk/chair/floor/wherever I dropped them
Mrs : Have you looked where they should be?
Me :
Mrs : Found them yet?
Me : Might have.

It is, however, always in the last place you look.

Now where did I put it?

How often do you put something in a "safe place" so you can't forget where it is, only to have absolutely no freaking idea exactly where you put it when you do need it?

<wait, is it ..... rustles round for 10 minutes>

Tip: if so, post an angry/frustrated thread on CUK .... I just found it
