Losing my wallet 2017.

So...I lost my wallet again the other day!I had forgotten to get something out of the freezer for tea so we decided to have a Chinese instead.I drove into town on my own to get it.Now the last time I lost my wallet was down by the river with Tracy and Jen and following that debacle Jen made me my lovely goatskin bag to carry my wallet around in.I did take my bag in with me but as I got out of the car decided that I would just take my wallet out of my bag and I left my bag in the car.I ordered the Chinese, paid with my card and was told it would be about 15 minutes so I went for a walk around town.When I lived Up Over whenever I had Chinese I always ordered a portion of chips too. I like chips with my Chinese. I know it is not very Chinesey but I don't care.Since living here I have never found a Chinese takeaway that has chips on the menu so I have had to go without.On my walk around town I remembered the Fish and Chip shop so nipped in for a serve of chips for $3.I dropped them off back at the car and then went back to the takeaway to collect the Chinese.I drove home and that was when I wondered where my wallet was as I got out of the car. I checked the car to see if it had fallen out of my pocket but it was not there.I was sure it must have fallen out of my pocket as I closed the gate down the hill. We had our tea before it got cold and then drove down to the gate. It was dark now so we searched about with torches but my wallet was nowhere to be seen.We carried on into town and I was now sure that I had lost it for good this time. I was sure I had it in my hand when I collected the Chinese but couldn't remember where I had put it. I wondered if I had put it on the car roof as I got in to come home and forgotten about it and driven off.I was sure we would end up at the Police Station reporting it missing.Firstly I went into the Chinese Takeaway and asked if anyone had handed in a wallet but it was not there. We drove around the roundabout to look if it had fallen off the rof of the car there but again nothing.Next stop was the Fish and Chip shop..."Has anyone found a wallet?" I asked the Asian man behind the counter."What is your name?" he asked and I told him and he disappeared and came back with my wallet."Where was it?" I asked.It seems I had left it on the counter when I had been handed my chips.Doh!I was so relieved to have it back again and I shall always keep it in my bag now.
