Iamweedy, have you tried tying a short length of brightly coloured baler twine to your tool handles? It makes them easier to see when you put them down. It also makes it easier to recognise my own tools when I'm working with the other volunteers in the park.
I hate clearing up after I've spent a few happy hours throwing weeds and prunings over the grass and paths. Especially if I haven't kept compost heap weeds apart from shredding heap

I'm with Kathmay and Beewitched...slugs and snails cause the most heartache for me.
"Losing" or moving away from the tools, weed buckets etc I was using in the garden about five minutes ago.
I can't possibly have all the bits I need dangling from my body.

Flipping moles!! if someone invented an efficient 'get rid system' for them they would be a MOLLionare!!
Hire a specialist mole catcher. They work well.

I catch them myself with no problem but others come along ... so disheartening.

Glad it worked. Ours is a third of an acre ... I just hate spending money on plants only to have them undermined by the moles.
Washing pots ................ so it hardly ever happens
Plants don't seem to notice 
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
