Two really stupid things I’ve done this week - am I doomed?

I ordered some thick cut ham on my Ocado order today so we could have it with chips and egg for tea tonight as a change. Completely forgot about it and cooked fish and chips as we usually have on a Friday. Hubby said when we sat down to eat- thought we were having ham tonight- wish he’d mentioned it earlier?fortunately it’s dated until next week so won’t be wasted.

I'd been staying with my ex up in the highlands.
We got up at around 5am on a cold rainy morning so we could catch the coach to glasgow airport.
He wasn't coming back here with me, just coming as far as the airport then the next bus back to his.

It took the usual 2.5 hours or so to get to Glasgow, then another bus to the airport.

I had the wrong day! So we had to do it all again the next day.

Ha, Mawthemerrier, a couple of years ago dh and I turned up for a concert at the Festival Hall, but it didn’t seem to be on anywhere.
Er, we had the right date - wrong year!! ?

I find my Echo dot's Alexa a great boon for remembering things . You can ask her to remind you an hour or so before you need to go out about an appointment . You just ask for the date you want and the time and she will never forget.

I didn’t enjoy my porridge this morning. I had sprinkled curry powder on it instead of cinnamon.

I went to bed last night and left the kitchen hot tap running and the plug in! Luckily, it was just bigger than a trickle, but not full stream - which is probably why I didn’t see it. Drained all the hot water, but the overflow kept up with it, so no damage done.
Another note to self……………

I went to the supermarket yesterday and bought specific things I had vouchers for.Went to the checkout and totally forgot to use the vouchers??‍♀️

I get so cross with myself when I do that!

Friday is the day I feed the garden - 'feeding Friday' helps me remember. They nearly got fed with car oil the other week as containers on the same shelf and I didn't look first.

Well I did get a call from my hairdresser a couple of weeks ago - I'd completely forgotten a hair appointment, and had to dash round 10 minutes late in my exercise gear, a look that would have frightened any passing horses.

But nothing compares to my going up to vote in a local election and not finding my preferred candidate on the form. I was so convinced, and so adamant, that he should have been on the list that by the time I left the people manning the polling station were trying to contact HQ to see what had happened.

Which was that there was an old leaflet from the previous election sitting in and amongst the candidate bumph I'd put on my hall table. I still have no idea how it got there, but I just thanked my lucky stars that none of the people at the polling station knew me. I was only in my fifties then......

I went out yesterday to GSs for dinner and left my front door open ? luckily my neighbour saw my car was gone and the door was open and she closed it. No idea how long it was open.

Just one so far. I went into the chemist to get my prescription. They said they didn't have it. You've just sent me a text I insisted.
After some discussion they agreed to make up the tablets after a short wait and apologised.
Got home and checked my phone. The text was from last month!

I recently went on a trip to Kelmscott with The Arts Society . I remembered everything, but one couple admitted they had arrived an hour early for the coach and another (wait for it) had actually turned up the day before and hung around for 3/4 of an hour before they realised they had got the wrong day.
There is hope for all of us yet!

I did ask AC last Friday what time he was going away the next day, he just looked at me and shook his head…

Minutes beforehand he had reminded me what time to go round to his for Fathers Day BBQ on Sunday.

We’re all doomed Witzend. Let’s just enjoy things while we can.

Last week I sent a personalised birthday card to my nephew with my grandson’s name on it !!!!! This week I sent a birthday card to his sister (my niece) without signing it ?‍♀️ !!!! And last week I also turned up for a hospital appointment on the wrong day! ?

Went to the supermarket yesterday. Afterwards took the bags out of the trolley and left the big basket, which hangs off the handle, hanging there - even put the trolley in the trolley park.

My excuse - that I was feeling under the weather. Mind you I woke this morning to find yesterday's sore spot is an abcess on my bum, so that probably explains it - and I still feel unwell.

I'm blaming the heat :-) My daft near miss was 2 days ago.

DD1's 50th birthday on Wednesday so I messaged her early morning, set card and present ready to take to restaurant for 6.30 - all good - then asked DH what he's like for diner :-) :-)

Bless him he was busy so missed my daft moment and said he might have a the chicken because he'd enjoyed it the last time we ate there.

Enjoy your cakes OP

Not just you, I totally forgot the dental hygienist appointment this week, despite filling in the online health form three hours earlier!!
