Last night I drifted off to sleep having resolved to do something today. I felt quite cheerful and positive about it too.
I don’t suppose anybody can tell me what it was? hmmhmm

Was it watch a black and white Bette Davis movie? I wish I had thought of doing that today instead of cleaning the toilets.

Was it to do some brain training to help your memory? smile

I need to do that!

Buy an Alexa ??

Batten down the hatches ready for the storms? ?

I stood in Sainsbury's earlier looking lost I completely forgot why I went there!

It was to download Wordament and let me know your score.

To go upstairs and still remember when you got there why you had gone?

Well, I imagine you have already thought of the things on my to do list. Charming things like hoovering the sitting-room and getting rid of the dust under our double bed,

I also have two toilets in need of cleaning, and a floor or two to wash.

Ring any bells?

I thought so.

I haven't done any of the above (yet) but have battened down the hatches after hearing the weather forecast and done some extra shopping, and sent two short stories to one very bored grandson driving his mother distracted due to the wet weather in this week off school.

Are you sure, you didn't promise yourself a nice day doing nothing except what you like doing (and taking the dog out)?

Buy yourself some flowers, chocolates and watch a good film?

Nowadays when I say to myself I must remember to .... I immediately tell myself to do it NOW. If not feasible I write myself a note.

Patsy70 Thu 17-Feb-22 14:10:55

Yes, I try to do that boat, but sometimes I’m so confident that I’ll remember it the next day. Invariably, I don’t. ?
Have you remembered yet, MayBeMaw?

AreWeThereYet Thu 17-Feb-22 14:56:23

I wish I could help but sometimes when I wake up in the morning I can't remember who I am or where I am, so there's no chance I can remember what you meant to do ?

Have you remembered yet? And did you do it?

Perhaps you were thinking about finding a pen and paper to put on your bedside table so you can write down 'things to do tomorrow' before you drift off to sleep.

Gossamerbeynon1945 Thu 17-Feb-22 15:35:11

My memory is shocking. Is it an age thing? I am 76 and I have to writeeverything down.

PinkCosmos Thu 17-Feb-22 15:52:18

Maybe it was to remember to write a list before you went to bed so that you didn't forget anything grin

PinkCosmos Thu 17-Feb-22 15:53:25

Sorry, didn't see Sarnia's previous post

Kim19 Thu 17-Feb-22 16:00:59

It will be anything that you take off your 'to do' list.

DanniRae Thu 17-Feb-22 16:43:45

Oh! I'll have to go back to the top because I can't remember what the question is? ....... hmm

merlotgran Thu 17-Feb-22 16:57:19

Will you know if you've done it?

If not, you're back where you started! grin

MayBeMaw Thu 17-Feb-22 16:58:53

Nope -still no idea, but it was a nice feeling as I resolved to do it the next day!

kittylester Thu 17-Feb-22 16:59:31

I can beat that - I asked Alexa to remind me to phone someone this pm. She must have misheard as I've no idea who she is telling I should be phoning.

Anyone know George Borders?

AGAA4 Thu 17-Feb-22 17:05:22

Getting in touch with someone you like may have given you a nice feeling or possibly buying some hot cross buns?
