For a brief moment this morning, I nearly lost a whole day. My wife couldn't sleep last night, got up in the middle of the night and changed the calendar to the next day (Thursday). When I got up this morning, I changed the calendar to the day following (Friday). I then proceeded to moan about how fast the week had gone until my wife pointed out that it was still Thursday ...     

What are your stories of something lost (or nearly lost)?   

P.S. Wife has just informed me that I've changed the calendar to Saturday!

Wishful thinking?

Friend at uni crammed frantically for his final exams in the days before, barely sleeping. After his last exam, on a Friday lunchtime, he announced he was going back to halls of residence to grab a couple of hours sleep and would join us for celebrations that evening. Not surprisingly he didn't turn up. No sign of him on Saturday. By Sunday we were getting worried and a bunch of us went to his room and knocked on the door. The guy turned up at the door after a few minutes of pounding on the door to complain that he'd already told us he'd see us that evening. Sparked out for two whole days and totally unaware of it! Initially he was convinced it was still Friday and that it was a practical joke.

Wait, now I'm confused. What day is it and am I drunk before ten am?! I've not regressed to my twenties have I?!

First time I took a woman out to a concert, back in the 70s, I made plans so far in advance that we turned up a month early. 

I once lost my marbles.

Still haven't found them 

My first wife... I'm trying very hard not to find her

I went to bed so early I got up yesterday!

Virginity. But I've learned to live without it.

I lost a 'skelington' that I was working on, an hour or so ago.
Eventually found it on the floor, about four feet from the desk.
'Cripes' knows how it got over there.

I have told this story before, but it bear repeating. Yes it does. It does. Well I'm telling it anyway.

I dropped a mixed tray of early war armour. Managed to find most of the turrets, but ended up with a few short. Wondered if I could convert a Pz I hull to something useful. Couldn't. That was when I created the Returning Metal Hypothesis. This states that Pendraken figures when dropped or otherwise upset will attempt to escape back to Middle-borough.

More evidence for the hypothesis came a few months ago, when I dropped a tray of Marlburian staff officers and one has never been seen since.

I once turned up at an airport a year early

I had managed to book our return tickets from Christchurch on the website for the wrong year
They took pity on me and fitted us on the flight. The most embarrassing bit was I'd got my son to check us in while I sorted out the rental car...

Walked -or those infamous dogs again ?

I reckon the wee chap 'grabbed hold' of my sleeve when I moved a CD from the desk.
I was glad he was still stuck to a cork, otherwise he'd have been a lot harder to find.

Good stuff, guys. I know for a fact that I've got a couple of wee Pendraken chaps irretrievably lost down the side of my sofa (serves me right for opening the package there).

Its now Saturday. Does this means I've caught up with myself or what?

I did it again. Today. Thursday.   

A week ago today.     

Did not occur to me this was not Friday until my wife asked me if I was getting ahead of myself (again) ..........

Didn't moan about the short week this time though ... maybe that's a good sign?
