Any idea where my key might be?

[Teeki]

I've gone and lost the only key to one of our cars. Handy! Good thing we have three cars so we can still get around, but I'm stuck with DH's made-for-the-track Silvia with no air-con so right now I'd love my Magna key lol

I lost it last Thursday after doing the shopping. Brought in two loads of shopping, and I must have had the key the second time because the car is locked and you can only do that by inserting the key. So I came inside with the second load of shopping, and put it all on the kitchen table. From there I would usually have either put the key with my bag, or on the display case near the door or the arm of our couch. In the meantime I got myself a frozen dinner from the freezer and started heating it in the microwave, then put away all the shopping.

So far I've searched:
- The treck from the car to front door
- My pockets from that day, and the washing machine cos I washed those clothes that night
- The shopping bags
- My handbag
- Under, in, around the couch
- Same for the bookcase/display shelf

I'm just completely lost! I have no way of getting in this car or moving it now, and it's getting frustrating lol. Any help or ideas would be fantastic!

Sometimes i am completely wrong and other times i am right.
When friends ask me, i just think of the question (where is the key) and i say the first thing that pop into my head.
I have just over 50% sucess, so dont rely on me

All i can see is a brown (wooden) drawer.

I'd check the freezer. I put my keys in there once when I was UTD so I blamed baby brain (lol)

soon as I saw the thread name I thought back of lounge chair or some chair, so had a giggle when I saw you mentioned you put it near the couch.....normally

Thanks for the ideas everyone - Joeve, that's what's driving me crazy lol. I have moved the couch around so many times cos I swear that's the most logical spot lol.

I've just emptied the freezer, no luck I got excited about the brown drawer suggestion, there are brown wooden drawers in the kitchen I hadn't checked, but it wasn't there. The display cabinet by the door is also wooden but doesn't have drawers - I still looked again though lol. And checked the desk drawers in the spare room cos I cleaned it the next morning, but still nothing.

I'm having the bad thought that it may have gone in a Salvos bin... There were three bags of old clothes by the cabinet on Thursday night, and on Saturday morning I put them in the Salvos bin. This was before I realised the key was missing. Big bugger if it's gone in there!

Ummmm checked ya bins?

Yeah... I've thought of that, and I reckon that's where it must have gone. Which sucks cos the bins have already been emptied lol. Nevermind, we were able to order new ones
