Kate, First things first; I have found my passport!.....I was trying to think of places, which had things that looked like a cubbyhole and couldn't think of any -so i gave up...i was at my wits end when i decided to get a copy of my passport from the university centre to send to the Embassy. I talked to a lady and asked her for the copy, i saw her turn around...and look into abox-with no lid-door,the kind that teachers use to put their papers in..it reminded me of what you'd described earlier, and ....from within the papers in that box- she brought out my passport! so,thankyou for your help,you defnitely were on the right track.

Woohoo!!! Thank you very much!!! I was told earlier that it wasn't in my nieces bag but just going over your email I was thinking about how you said "anything in your room or around your niece like that?" and I quickly rang her mum to double check around her or in her bag etc. She did another check and YEP!! Found the keys amongst her clothes in her bag...you know what I wouldn't have given my niece a second thought because I was adamant that she didn't or couldn't have it - So thank you for your input. Hailee
