QuoteFound it! The glue, not Zogbert's wallwart, that is.

Did it stick out?

Yeah, what he said, just a single word is all you need, so I'm just gonna say one word and one word only. Wall wart. There that's it, I'm sure the blurry things have legs. No bleating on from me, short, succinct and to the point. Anything else is a waste of time, so just the one word only - wall wart. There, I have nothing else to add, it's the one for charging my small electric screwdriver. But I won't go on about it, just to say the one word, wall wart.
I actually found the screwdriver charger today (while looking for something else I have misplaced)!
Any ideas where I might have put the screwdriver?

There, doesn't that feel better? 
Lovely!

I get the same but with phones, I live in a 3 storey town house and when on my own here it does not matter where I am, the phone rings and is not where I am. I sit in the spare room, my modelling room and the phone is downstairs ringing. I sit in front of the tv downstairs and I have left the phone in the spare room!  aaargh!!!

Best wishes

Same here three storey town house, cunning plan as have a 'Quad' set of DEC phone handsets... however there are usually at least two if not three sat next to each other in a location not currently being used when the phone rings!!

I have always found putting things away when i have finished them is the best way of losing them. The best way of finding something is to give up and buy another, the original will be waiting for you when to put the new one away.

I always mislay  my TV remote control, even lost it about 10 seconds after using it,
they should make them about the size of a cricket bat and painted orange rather
than like a little bar of chocolate.

Can't find things........ can't remember where you put 'em - that's me......

I'm getting tired of the kids keep taking the mick out of my Alzheimer's......

Maybe attaching the errant remote control to a sticky wicket might help.

I'm sure there are poltergeist in our house. For instance, while replacing a socket, I can sit on the floor, unscrew the fixing screws, pull it out, release the terminal screws, put the screwdriver down, open the pack containing the new socket and - despite not moving from my seated position - when I am ready to connect the new socket, the screwdriver is on the opposite side of the room. It happens every time!
