Purse gone

igenlodeI discovered at lunch-time (while looking for my shopping list) that my cash purse wasn't where it ought to have been; I assumed I must have left it out on the desk while trying to catch up with the eight-month backlog in my accounts, but it doesn't seem to be there either. No great financial loss, since I think it had less than £10 in it (I remember counting out coins on the market stall), but it does rather undermine any attempt at doing the accounts since it has months' worth of receipts inside!
I think the last time I had it was at the market, and it's possible I put it down on the table while noting down my expenditure in the notebook I carry for the purpose (since they don't give you receipts there). But I shan't be in a position to find out until next Saturday, even if they did find it and keep it for me.
Fortunately (for historical reasons) I keep my bank cards in my wallet rather than alongside my spending money, so losing it would be a matter of minor inconvenience rather than serious financial privation...
Edit: I found it. Dropped into the inside pocket of my bike bag rather than the main bag that was also inside the bike bag -- I was obviously in a hurry and 'missed'!
I think the universe is trying to tell me that I really should be getting on with that detailed breakdown of my expenditure (currently only up to September 2024....)
Edit 2: Cash in hand: £16.04. More than I had realised -- I must have only just withdrawn a couple of weeks' worth!
