Default Oh Sugar am I in bother, seriously any suggestions?

As our holiday abroad has been cancelled three times and wife has a week of work we have booked accommodation down Devon way, all packed up and stopped off at services 130 miles into the trip and I have noticed that the wife's suit bag with all her nice evening clothes isn't here, I distinctly remember it being hung up in the dining room and I was given strict instructions to pack it, I forgot.

She doesn't know about it yet and we are now going to continue our journey. I have about an hour to live unless somebody can suggest something...

Dave she may have taken it back herself so you have to spend some of your money

Cool

Pony express might be a way of helping otherwise carry on to Cornwall and I’ll hide you.

Devon? Near Plymouth? My brother has three pubs in Plymouth - get her drunk and then tell her you distinctly remember she said she'd pack it. Or get drunk yourself and then it won't hurt as much.

Good luck
