I keep one in my handbag for when I'm out, and the other floats around the house. I am frequently looking for them. <br />They are fairly expensive lenses so when one pair went over the side of the boat a couple of summers ago (in deep tidal water), there was great consternation and gnashing of teeth.

Even in the untidyness everything has a home and keys and glasses always go in the same place. It is without doubt organised chaos. I am a get things done person and not a list person. Lists are too controlling and can become master.

They get in the way the rest of the time, and yes it becomes a challenge to work our where you last jettisoned them because they were more hindrance than help. F finally bought several pairs - the ones that live at work, the ones that live in her bag, the ones that live on the passenger's side of the van (so she can read maps and satnavs), a pair beside the bed, and the other pair that she has trained herself to always leave on the sideboard near the door. That training took a while and is not failproof, but at least there are back ups and they have managed to remain more or less in their allocated places (if they aren't parked on the top of her head.)
