The Men in White coats are coming for me soon [confused] there's room in the van for a few more!

I have been guilty of trying to 'enlarge' magazine pictures...more than once. A reflex action.
Note to self...'limit your time online'.

Many years ago I gave some old videos in cases to ghe BHF. A couple of weeks later it dawned on me ?that I'd put £250 in notes inside one of them so that it wasn't hanging around or in my purse before a visit to the bank. ???☺

Police man came to the house to make sure we were safe and secure......if only he’d gone to the other door he could have used the keys that had been in the lock all night..on the outside!

I went to the fridge to get the milk out when I was making a cuppa but put the kettle in the fridge instead

I'm booking another place on the bus! I have two best friends, husband and wife and I love them dearly but crikey are they fussy eaters! Roast chicken dinner is one of the easiest to please them, except he has to have gravy with almost everything.

All was ready, but I'd used the veg water to make the gravy and thought I could see a few bits in the gravy so taking the sieve, I poured the gravy - down the sink! I'd forgotten to put a bowl under it. I screamed as it disappeared down the plug hole.

I didn't have anything like gravy granules - I do now just in case.

Biker Wheren't your inflatable friends last seen floating past Isle of Man I remember it clearly I think it was the time my broomstick landed on top of a Police car on the M53.
I have turned up at Manchester Airport for a return flight to Alicante and got mixed up with 15.00hrs and 18.00 hrs and had to travel next day,I never did that again for sure.

So reassuring to know I'm not alone!

Last week DH mislaid his house keys. He never loses anything. Ever. We searched our house high and low - a good way to get things tidied. Eventually I thought to look where I frequently leave mine. On the outside of the door. Great relief. The best thing is that he’s now nearly as normal as me.

Car key in hand..pressing the "door open" button whist pointing it at our front door!
Earlier,tried two different sized bras on in matalan....then spent ages putting them back on the little annoying hangers..was leaving the fitting room and realised hadn't noted which size had fit...so back in I went aaagh...

Are we nearly there yet?

These are so funny and make me feel so much better. I was watching Gogglebox on Friday and the two elderly ladies in it couldn't find the TV remote. One of them came in eventually and said 'It's OK I've found it. It was in the fridge'.

gabriellaG. I’ve done the same on my desktop.
How awful for you re the money

If this had been Mumsnet rather than Gransnet you would have had a thousand snowflakes castigating you for making light of mental illness.

So funny......made my Sunday!!

These are very funny and reassuring. I was watching Gogglebox on Friday and the two elderly ladies in it couldn't find the TV remote. One of them came back into the room and said 'It's OK I've found it. It was in the fridge. *Bikergran" you have me as the driver of the van, in which case we could have another mishap. I can't drive

Sorry for the double post. Don't know what happened there!

Having a good chuckle at these. Getting into the wrong car is my speciality. Have done it so many times, but the worst was when my husband drove my sister, mother and myself to the shopping centre. He went off to do something else and we wandered back to the car after shopping to meet up with him. Found the car door unlocked which was strange, however, managed to manoeuvre my elderly mobility challenged mother into the front seat while sis and I got in the back. After sitting waiting patiently for what seemed like ages we spotted the other half getting into a car two rows in front of us, same colour, same make. Needless to say we got out quicker than we got in !

Whew! So it's not just me.

I had a friend who, on taking off her tights, put them down the loo instead of in the laundry basket. (No is wasn’t me although I have put the pasta in the fridge and the butter in the cupboard). Can I be the driver of the bus, we wouldn’t know where we would end up.

Is there room in the van for me too! I have also turned up a week early for a doctor's appointment. Receptionist was quite amused (fortunately) and said it was better than being a week late. She even asked if I wanted to sit and wait till the end of surgery (2 hours later) and they might be able to fit me in. But I felt a bit foolish by then so said I'd return the following week on the right day.

Ginny42 I love that! I'm sure the BT engineer welcomed a customer being so friendly!

The worst one for us was when my DH booked a winter holiday to Malta because my 89 year old Mum had always wanted to go. Fast forward a couple of months and we arrive at Valetta airport for the evening flight to Gatwick. Teenage son goes off for a walk and says there's no flight to Gatwick only to Stansted. Hurried phone call to my brother who wasn't hsppy at having to turn out at 11pm on a cold foggy night to pick us up at Stansted. Next day was spent driving to pick up the car that had been left at Gatwick. Since then he isnt allowed to book any flights

I once went to the wrong airport for my return journey from holidays. Paid for a taxi (£132) to the next county to catch the plane. Nerve racking experience, I haven't flown since. Also, I went to the fridge one day for milk for a much needed cup of tea after shopping. I found a carton of fabric conditioner where the milk should have been and of course the milk was in the under the sink cupboard. I've always been a bit scatty

Years ago I was with a chap and a dog came rushing up.

"Wonder what the dogs name is" I smiled.

"His names on it ", the chap replied.

"On it ! On it ! Good Boy On It," I said to the dog..

My husband said it was at that exact point he decided to marry me !!

I'm glad to see that other people hop into strangers' cars at the drop of a hat. I did it not once, not twice, but three times in the year before I retired (obviously it's a good job I did!). Colleagues used to pick me up regularly as I yomped up the road to work and I just assumed they'd all stopped for me. One was parking up, one had stopped for a friend who was walking behind me, the other was a teenager who had pulled up at a temporary traffic light. I'll never forget the look of sheer terror on his face when I jumped in and slammed the door shut!

Save me a place in the van please, but I can't guarantee I'll get in the right one!

Unfortunately this isn’t funny. A couple of years ago I got a new iPad, was ready to transfer all my files etc to new one, when someone popped in to see me, then I picked up old iPad and deleted everything, photos, notes, research etc., thinking I had already transferred across, I hadn’t, so I lost loads of stuff, never quite got over that.

However I am guilty of never knowing which pocket in my bag holds my bus pass, loyalty card etc, so I may be on the van/bus.
