Have you ever lost something that has really affected you?

My marbles. I think I lost them around about August 2004.

Our school performing arts department goes on tour every year, this year was to Germany.

On the third day we had a concert down by a lake and we were flicking through our music pads to try and find this song, we realised we didn't have it just as the conductor started the piece. Fortunately I could remember the first 20 bars or so but I'll never forget his face when he found out we didn't have the music.
Then the next day at a big concert in a hall, we were rehearsing before the show and he said "Right, we're gonna run through Copacabana now" (one of the biggest pieces of the night) and we didn't have that either. I had to walk up to him - he's quite an intimidating character even when you've done nothing wrong - look him square in the eye and say I didn't have it. I still get chills thinking about it now... Not sure how well it comes across in writing though!

I lost my patience after getting a train from Preston Park to Brighton this morning. By the time I'd got off and queued with all the Brighton wannabees, just to get off the platform it would have been quicker to walk.

it would have been quicker to walk.

Lesson learnt. you need the exercise.

Not lost but stolen, a gold chain with a football on it from my grandmother who passed away..

My wallet a few months back. Had absolutely every card I owned in there, plus £200 in cash and a few old photos that I will never get back. I didn't care about the money, it was the cards and the photos that I missed.

A few years ago I had my phone nicked in a pub in TW. The phone going walkies wasn't the issue - it was insured, but I had photo's on there of my niece when she was only minutes old. which i'll never get back

Many years ago I won a 7" single on a competition on the John Peel show. Weeks passed and no prize was forthcoming so I decided to write to him and ask where my vinyl was. I got a pleasant surprise a couple of days later, my record and a lovely postcard (on a Gary Davies card!) from Peel explaining he'd lost the address and apologising and wishing me well. I still have the Butthole Surfers vinyl but lost the note years ago. Gutted still when I think about it.

My brother told me yesterday that his mother (my step mother) has lost a personalised Christmas card from Elvis Presley and a first pressing of the first thing the Beatles ever recorded to send to record companies to get a deal.

They are both pretty gutting....

My virginity, mine disappeared 20 odd years ago and once it's gone it's gone ! You ain't never getting it back. It's ok though as Ive managed to cope without it ever since.

Me too and I'm only in my early 30's

Pop down to Rotherfield one evening & drop into the local. His daughter Lisa Marie is quite the regular these days apparently, perhaps she could help...

Or try Drusillas, she's said to be a big fan of that too

My dear nana, she sadly passed away over 20 years ago but I still can't drive past the road where she used to live without welling up

I had a book all about my childhood before i was adopted, pictures of so called family and friends, it got burnt in our house fire, sadly think it could have helped feel alot of missing holes
