One of my kids found a memorystick at the end of the road. I checked it and found it belonged to a boy at one of the local schools so posted it to the school so they could give it back to him. I lost my own in M&S but I was lucky - I worked out where I had lost it (it had been in my purse and I had bought something there on my way in to work) and when I went back to look it was still there on the floor by the till I had used.<br /><br />I hope you get it back safely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-84928928606689823232010-02-25T15:10:55.973+01:002010-02-25T15:10:55.973+01:00Lunarossa: what's even more dumb about my expe...Lunarossa: what's even more dumb about my experience is that life gave me fair warning that this might occur.
