Further Senior Moments !

Brought a bundle of washing downstairs together with a rather expensive jacket that I was going to put on as I was about to go out. Couldn't find the jacket anywhere - only to realise I had put in the washer with the washing! I had already started the wash, so sadly it was too late to rescue it

And I once polished the table with air freshener....

Often go looking for my glasses when I have them on. Put all sorts of things in the wrong places - cleaning stuff in the fridge and things that should be in the fridge put under the sink.

I call these teenage moments.? No one so absent minded and forgetful as a teenager - go out without a purse, leave shopping on a bus, set the alarm clock for p.m rather than a.m., get on a train going the wrong way. Mine did all that in their time. And that's not counting 'forgetting' to do little jobs in the house.

Doesn't need to be a senior moment, hubby once tried to brush his teeth with my daughter's hydrocortisone cream, when she was little.

When once driven to distraction by her own mother with dementia, my mother once sprayed her hair with furniture polish instead of hair spray. She wasn’t even really ‘senior’ at the time, either.

Give how often I was driven to distraction by dementia (my mother and my FiL) it’s just as well I’ve never used hair spray!

I told my friend I would meet her for our walk as soon as I found my phone......

I was googling something on my mobile phone and I couldn’t find my phone, which was in my hand ?? worrying

A couple of weeks ago I needed to add a couple of items to my online order - lap top on, in a hurry, no specs (left in the bedroom ) thought "this will be ok , I can see the pics on screen")
Shopping delivered yesterday and my son wants to know why I had ordered shaving foam for him (he has a beard) , dog food (we have a cat) and a bag of frozen spinach (that neither of us like!
Next week I must remember to order deodorant, cat food and frozen beans with my glasses on.
Would anyone like to swap a jar of beetroot for one of strawberry jam ????

I once filled up an electric kettle, lit the gas - and hey presto! (you can probably guess the rest!.. )

Stewed a whole batch of new season rhubarb last week - with Salt instead of sugar!

Also, once tried to key in my house phone number into the cash point machine..... (it doesn’t work! ...)

Gwyneth .. I’ve done the same with what I thought was feminine deodorant ... not recommended ?

Such a comfort to know others do daft things because body in one place and mind gone somewhere else. My worst lapse was to put the dirty clothes into the dishwasher then a couple of hours later went to the clothes washer and was completely mind blown to find it empty. I then went back to the dirty clothes basket - also empty Around the bed room and bathroom - nothing. A lightbulb went off and I suddenly remembered where everything was!! Boy did I feel stupid.!

Also, once when I was about 16 yrs I was walking over a bridge on a hot day, took the wrapper off an ice lolly - screwed up a £5.00 note - and chucked the fiver into the river ..... (this was a very long time ago and cured me of any thoughts of littering again so a lesson learnt!...)

I’ve made someone cup of coffee with bistro gravy granules.

have got into the passenger seat of a car exact same make and colour as mine in the supermarket car park - the driver of that car looked rather alarmed!.... my car was parked alongside ....

I am going to stop posting now as I am beginning to worry myself ...!

I always make stock from a chicken carcass, simmer it for ages with sundry veg and herbs - but once strained the whole lot through a colander - down the sink!
There was some extremely unladylike language in our kitchen, I can tell you.

Spread Rimmel foundation on my foof instead of thrush treatment! It stung!

I Pledged a fly instead of using fly spray!

Mixed up the toothpaste with the Anusol.

Piles of smiles, and a lovely ring of confidence.

Yes, hairspray instead of deodorant has happened to me. Only buy roll on now.

I was in Oxford yesterday with OH. As we walked past Oxford City College I told him how I had sat my A-levels there on Day Release while working as a Management trainee at John Lewis... no I didn’t! I was based in Reading and attended Reading Tech on Day Release. I did take a summer school in Creative Writing in Oxford though.

And talking about the wrong car... I spent ages looking for my car in a multi-storey car park before remembering that I was using my husband’s car that day.
