Just recalled an occasion when I was shopping with my husband and realised I didn’t have my spectacles on. We set off to retrace our steps and stopped

I put my glasses back on after putting my contact lenses in the other day confused

I mistook a small foil tray of cat meat for a similar looking pack of liver pate in the fridge. I took it out and ate some spread on a cracker.
Realised later when I went for the cat meat. (I put it in the fridge to keep it fresh for the cat as it was a hot day).

Ooh Elrel that would have been agony!
I had a swig of surgical spirit thinking it was indigestion mixture!

Friend, when we were in our forties, once arrived at school with a terrible burning sensation in an intimate area. She had mistaken Vim for talc!

Don't tell anyone what I did yesterday. After a cataract op I am getting quite good at applying eye drops four times a day. The drop, luckily, seemed to be taking a long time to fall. I almost put hand sanitizer in my eye...

As I have sensitive skin, I use a scent free face wash, applied with a soft complexion brush. One day my face started to sting and I realised I had used toothpaste - I had quite a rosey glow!

This week I've squirted shaving gel instead of deodorant under the arm of someone I support. blush

I once squirted savlon on to my toothbrush. Luckily the smell alerted me before I put it in my mouth.

Close call though!

NanKate, I bet you smell luvverly!

I am partially sighted and a week ago I was getting dressed and tried to squirt deodorant under my arms. I thought the canister a tad thicker than usual, thought no more about it, felt liquid stuff running down both sides of my body. Blue liquid shaving gel was running on to my bedside rug.

I did not intend buying the stuff- it must have been on the same shelf as the deodorants. I had a hasty shower and then cleaned up the rug thanking God I had laminate or tiled flooring upstairs.

I did a towel wash today, and forgot to add washing powder and conditioner! It looks clean enough though, and there is usually some soap residue in the machine, so not too bothered.

I’m beginning to wonder too, on Monday ( I knew it was Monday at this point) I had my walk had breakfast and then went for my shower and somehow in the shower Monday morphed into Tuesday (my GD comes to dinner after school Tuesdays).
Got dressed started to tidy up got homemade burgers and some buns out of the freezer for our dinner and carried on with my day, made GD some snacks and 2:30 doorbell goes it’s her. I say hi T it’s burgers for dinner with salad she looks at me like I’ve gone mad and says Grandma it’s Monday I just popped in for a drink and a wee and laughed her head off.

I’m a bit worried ?

I’ve sprayed hairspray under my arms instead of deodorant. Had to go back in the shower as it was so sticky!

NanKate Wed 16-Sept-20 10:59:06

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. ?
