Dear Readers
I need your help.
I need you to ‘channel’my camera charger. It is somewhere in my house…or at my Mum and Dad’s…or at my friend’s…or dropped randomly in the street somewhere, possibly huddled against an empty crisp packet and a one legged pigeon.
I need you to feeeeeel the charger. Close your eyes and imagine its lovely back plastic-ness, the sensual curves of the short yet perfectly adequate lead, and the not exactly unique yet extremely attractive pluggy bit at the end.
Think.
Feel with your mind.
Turn your brain stem into a detector, your synapses into mini charger sensors, and your thought patterns onto ’seek’ mode.
Cos’ I’ve looked and I can’t blumming find it anywhere and my nieces are in a show tonight, and I’m missing vital photo opportunities from my cute kids, AND if I’d been able to charge my camera I might have been able to snap the road raging motorcyclist who ranted at me today and called me a ’speccy be-otch’ and then I could have posted his angry red face on here which would have made me feel much much better.
Yours beseechingly grovellingly hopefully
Jo

I think that maybe Rosie flushed it down your loo. Solving two mysteries in one.

How on earth do you know that, Dan? She was secretly taking pictures of my little daughter’s art work and posting them on her blog. The camera charger had to go. Nuff said, really.

Tsk. How could you do such a thing Rosie. I am most disappointed. I may have to flush something down your loo. Hmmmmm, that notebook is quite small……
March 13th, 2010 at 4:21 am
That must be it. Tsk. What is she like?
March 13th, 2010 at 4:23 am
Dan you are a genius. I think you could be right. Tsk. So rude.
March 11th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Ooooooh that’s a tough one… I wish I really was psychic so I could help!!!
March 13th, 2010 at 4:24 am
Hee hee, thanks lovely. I wish you were too. I may need to resort to ‘tidying’, gulp. ;D
March 11th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
I don’t know if channelling will work over the Atlantic, but I’m trying some positive visualisation, just like the skiers in the Olympics…..maybe if I picture you finding it, it will happen. Good luck.

Ohhhhh thank you . Like reiki but with ’search’ or something. Fabulous.

My instincts are telling me either behind the TV stand or under one of the children’s beds. Most things that go missing in my house end up there. Shame we didn’t get to see the motorcyclist’s red face.
March 13th, 2010 at 4:25 am
Omg Emily you’re probably right and the thought fills me with terror, gulp.
March 11th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Errr… this is surprising, Jo. It’s not like you to lose anything. As your house is always a picture of tidiness, I’m sure you’ll easily locate it, unless you have Dyson-ed it up. Could the rabbit have eaten it? Did you shove it up that road raging motorcyclist’s a***. I would have done.
March 13th, 2010 at 4:26 am
I felt like shoving it up his a*** lovely. And my house is the picture of tidiness, just like yours…;D

Down the back of the settee – everything turns up there in our house
Good luck

You know it does at mine too. I need to hunt. Bugger.
March 12th, 2010 at 3:00 am
Sooooo…did you find it yet? I was tempted to have a go last night and then forgot…I was seeing a white bag, like a make up bag that I used to have for dancing when I was a kid. Did you go somewhere recently and pack it????
March 13th, 2010 at 4:44 am
Karisma I’ve not found it yet but your idea is actually really possible. I’ve had a few weekends away at friend’s so it could be in one of a few bags. Brilliant.
March 12th, 2010 at 8:34 am
Now then, this isn’t easy, but have you left it plugged in somewhere from the last charge?!
Keeping fingers crossed you have managed to find it.

That’s a good idea too lovely. I will go and see.
March 13th, 2010 at 2:52 am
I have a list of things I do in this situation and it gets used a lot, helping a certain member of my household
- check the usual places
- check the random places I normally find things not in their usual places
- can I picture the last time I saw it/had it
- think like Dan, where would he have put it
- think like the kids, would they have done anything with it
- and if all else fails, do the channeling: imagine I’m a “x”, where would I be, where would I hide
March 13th, 2010 at 4:45 am
Hee hee, I will do that. Sighhhh, men are hilarious.
March 13th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
It’s in the car.
Maybe.
March 15th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
The fruit bowl?
Can you pop into dixons or equivalent and ask them to charge it up for you? Did that once on holiday when I forgot my charger. will give you a little bit longer to find the bl**dy thing.
