Try to change down gear at a junction earlier today I mean? I've only been driving an automatic for 5 years!

Lately, I cannot remember email addresses. I go to type them in, then stop.
I have had to write them down in desperation, lest one day I completely forget them altogether.
I can remember the passwords, once I can remember the email addresses in the first place!

Discovering that pressing the car key to open the front door doesn't actually open it!

And not all doors open automatically when you stand in front of them !!

Orange juice doesn't go in the washing machine drawer

Why also when I tell myself not to do something do I go and do it?
As I was going in to the shower I said to myself no need to wash hair,
as I'm going to the hairdressers for highlights (done on dry hair)
Next thing I know I'm rubbing shampoo in to hair! confused

Katek Thu 29-Sep-16 21:02:37

MaggieMay60 Thu 29-Sep-16 21:06:37

Deedaa Thu 29-Sep-16 21:07:46

i once took my remote to a meeting instead of my mobile. It stayed firmly in my bag!

MaggieMay60 Thu 29-Sep-16 21:20:27

I once arrived at work with my slippers on. fortunately I was in an office and could hide my feet under the desk all day! I seriously think I need locking up! grin grin grin

Mrs P was following me in our local nursery, I could here this odd clomping noise behind me, she had one hard soled shoe and one soft soled one. DOH.

There is an app (so I am informed) that enables you to use your phone as a TV remote control.... Why?

I've noticed that I place things in the wrong drawer, forget my telephone number, etc. I think it is because my mind is in overdrive thinking of too many things at once.
Maybe more wine would help grin
