I was finishing my normal morning ablutions and fulled my top forward to give myself a couple of sprays of my Liz Earle perfume. To my horror I found I had squirted the grapefruit and ginger bathroom spray all down my front. ?

Daisy- came out of the supermarket searched everywhere for car - panic stricken rang my DH and said that someone had stolen my car. After a shouted “what!!’said your car is on the drive - you took mine!!!

I cycled a 7 km round trip specifically to go to the chemist for pain-killers.

Got back home and was unpacking and putting away a mountain of shopping, when I realised I had never been to the chemist!

So off I went again.

This happened three months ago and there haven't been any more incidents, but it had me worried.

My ex and I got up really early to make the 3.5 hour trip to the airport, so he could see me off.
We had my case, he had a big rucksack full of things he'd need for his day.
We had to time the buses to get to the airport on time, then when we arrived I'd got the day wrong - my flight was the next day.

So we had to do the whole journey back to his.

If my friend, Jen, had read those comments about hairspray under the arms instead of deodorant she would have said: Serves you right! you should have been using a roll on. (She's saving the planet one day at a time.)

Without looking, I reached out for my eyedrops tube and managed to put cuticle cream in my eye. Uncomfortable but not lethal.

I came out of work and jumped into the car next to my husband sat waiting for him to start the car turned to ask him why he hadn't to an angry looking stranger whoops

My mother left me in my pram outside the greengrocers in the village and walk home...about a mile. I was her third child.
.
I like to try to blame this early trauma for any of my troubles in later life but Apparently I was perfectly happy

Walsing Thu 17-Sept-20 12:17:21

I went to put the cat out of the back door but it was raining so I put him out the front! ?

Lots of laughs on here today ?
I’ve had many senior moments. Putting my purse in the fridge being one. Turning up for appointments on the wrong day or time. The worst honestly has to be when I was twenty four and just had a new baby. I went to the supermarket proudly pushing my pram. There was an area where you could leave your pram safely with a staff member. I did my shopping and on my way out, I forgot to pick my baby up!!! I carried on happily shopping until it dawned on me. My baby! I ran all the way back to the supermarket where a smiling lady asked “have you forgotten something?” Red faced I collected darling baby and swiftly left the shop.
So not a senior moment at all. I put it all down to hormones. ?

Thankyou for the smiles,I'm feeling very reassured as can identify!

Growing0ldDisgracefully Thu 17-Sept-20 12:11:23

Got in a panic not able to find my car keys to go home when out with a friend, then she reminded me she had driven me in her car.

Have mixed up dry shampoo and deodorant before now, so ended up with odour-free hair and grease-free armpits.

Wombat, nearly chocked on my coffee over your post???

Had a nice walk to supermarket and filled a trolley. Couldn’t find my car in car park. Penny dropped and wheeled trolley to taxi office. Chatted to taxi driver on way home before waving him off with my shopping in the boot!

Lucca Thu 17-Sept-20 12:04:25

I just ordered a pair of shoes. Twice. Same shoes.
From different places though and one pair was 13£ less.

When I was a young girl, my mum put Algipan on me instead of sun tan lotion. She couldn't understand why I was jumping about. I was burning more

I recently did a food delivery shop and instead of clocking 6 pm in the evening, clicked 6 am in the morning. Got knock on the door at 6.10 am and wondered who on earth it could be at that time in the morning

Ladyleftfieldlover Thu 17-Sept-20 11:34:19

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.

Ladyleftfieldlover Thu 17-Sept-20 11:32:47

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.

Aepgirl Thu 17-Sept-20 11:30:40

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

ExaltedWombat Thu 17-Sept-20 11:26:38

Mixed up the toothpaste with the Anusol.

Piles of smiles, and a lovely ring of confidence.

Littlelegs Thu 17-Sept-20 11:21:04

I Pledged a fly instead of using fly spray!

NemosMum Thu 17-Sept-20 11:19:53

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

Witzend Thu 17-Sept-20 11:15:09

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.

hf59 Thu 17-Sept-20 11:14:41

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

hf59 Thu 17-Sept-20 11:14:04

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