Wasted Day

We misplaced the TV remote control today, you wouldn't believe how long it took to find it. Lodged in between my black handbag and black camera back. One of the reasons we couldn't find it was we couldn't remember who had it last.
Decided to look on line for a replacement, which was another nightmare, none of the serial/model numbers tied up, not to mention the variation in prices and delivery times for a universal replacement.
Another item we are going to have to stick a piece of bright coloured sticky tape on. 
Came to the conclusion our 5 year old TV is now obsolete. Not in this house it isn't!!!
