Senior Moments

I put on another thread a while back that I got the dog's lead to take her in the park, and when I got right to the end of the lane to go across the first field, I realised I was on my own. The dog was still in the house!

Tip, if you go upstairs, and then can't remember why you did, have a pee. Saves a wasted trip.

phoenix thanks for that. I hope I can remember it.

At least it's a bit of extra exercise when you get downstairs and then have to go back up again!

Unless you are Lautrec! (sp)

Two loos?

I always find that if I have forgotten what I've gone upstairs for/into the kitchen for/outside for, I go back to where I was when I thought about it, it all comes back to me eventually - no wonder I spend inordinate amounts of time standing still and thinking

Yesterday I went to hang out the washing...with an empty washing basket. I'd forgotten to take the washing out of the machine !

Speaking to a neighbour yesterday I realised I couldn't remember his daughter's name!!! I had to refer to her as "your daughter", luckily for me he used her name. I find I frequently forget names these days, I recognise people then have to "bluff" my way through until their name comes to me!

Why do old people live in bungalows?
So that they don't forget what they went upstairs for!

When did forgetfulness become known as - having a senior moment.

I sometimes have a problem introducing two people I know pretty well. My mind goes blank. This is something I have suffered from for many years. However I can remember what I ate the day before my sons were born and they are 40 42 and 33.

I like the chuckle jeni. I actually believe that living in a house will lots of stairs is good for one so maybe that is really why old people live in bungalows.

Maybe that was a senior moment.

While I was salivating over the cake counter at Waitrose today (not literally), I remembered something else I needed then immediately forgot what it was. Now I am home I realise it was washing-up liquid. Senior moment? Maybe, but I have always been absent-minded as no doubt my sisters would tell you if I let them loose on GN.

I don't know if this was a senior moment, but today after queueing at Asda for petrol (I know, but I needed some!) I found I couldn't get the petrol cap off. I was extremely flummoxed, and had visions of having to drive off in shame, but the driver behind me kindly came out to see if I needed any help.
Well, in my panic I had been turning the key the wrong way, the young lady pointed out.....
That'll teach me!

I'd have been worried that the price had gone up whilst I was getting the cap off Thats happened to me a few times when I used to use DH's car he always put the cap on to tight or I would park up on the wrong side of the pump.

Does anyone else wander around making "snipping" movements with their two first fingers and their thumb tucked in over the other two, to indicate that they are looking for the scissors?

I know I am in serious trouble when I forget where I have put my glasses and can't find the spare pair to find the original pair !!!

glamma, I sit on the end of the bed to dry my hair and occasionally find that I have been sitting on my glasses. Luckily I have a soft bottom...

I have just cooked Friday's dinner.

The Thursday chicken is still in the fridge.

I really thought it was Friday.
