I bought some double sided sticky foam pads to stick electronic bits into my model aeroplanes. I know I did because eBay says so. So I must have.
I recall using a few, but not many. I don't recall where I put the packet when I'd done that. I do know that it's not where I used to put the previous packet until that ran out.
I've bought another packet. Presumably the part-used packet will turn up today, at about the same time as the postman.
This never used to happen to me 20 years ago.......
EDIT: The postie brought the second batch of sticky pads, purchased from the original supplier, loose in a plain envelope. The first batch did not show up at the same time.
In hunting for the first batch, I was looking for some sort of proprietary packaging, but I now suspect that I probably re-packaged the pads into a packet/bag/box of my own choosing. Which is going to make it even harder to find them.
Is my brain really fading that fast? Is there any hope.......?
