Missing Camera

Arggggg....
All this week i have not been able to find my little digital Canon Ixus camera.
Now i've mislaid my camera before but it's always been in the bottom of a bag or on a shelf and i've usually found it (or Marc has usually found it) within 24 hours.
But today it has become apparent that i simply cannot find my camera, Marc cannot find my camera and i've looked everywhere that i can think of looking.

I am beginning to come to the conclusion that i have lost it.

The last place i believe i had it was at the Nursery's fundraising day on Sat 24th, and i don't think i've seen it since then, so i shall ask the Nursery on Monday if they have it and then after that i guess i need to talk to our home insurance.

This is so annoying, so so annoying.
My life evolves around taking photographs of what we are doing, i'm not sure i can actually function without my camera.

I keep on looking around the house for it though, in crazy places, wondering if i've put it somewhere without even thinking, or if Iris has posted it into some toy/box/bin etc...
but i fear it's gone.

boo hoo, i am very sad.
