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

Or is it just someone’s take on an abbreviation for grandchildren? (They’ve tagged an ‘s’ on the end to make it plural).

Today we left home with our caravan. We are meeting friends and each take a meal to share for the first few days.
I made and froze a sausage casserole which was to defrost in the fridge.
Carefully measured the container so it would fit in the fridge. Arrived at campsite and , yes you guessed it, the casserole is still in the freezer at home!

Oops, I don't think that's it, tho. Lol

Thanks, Lemsip.

I left dd1, about 10 days old, in Boots, having completely forgotten that I had her.
Luckily it was only for about 10 minutes since I was meeting my mother, who had not forgotten that she had a new granddaughter.

Dd1 still finds it hilarious, 45 years later.

ROFLMAO
Sorry, but that's hilarious!
Reminds me of a phone call in my teens.
Caller: "Ali, this is Kathy at the grocers. Where is your dog?"
Me, thinking what a strange question that was: "Erm, in the garden, I think."
Caller: "Could you check, please? I'll hold."
I went to the garden, checked front & back, no dog. Called for her, no dog came running. Asked family that were there, no one knew.
Back to phone, "Ok, Kathy. I give up. Where is my dog?"
It turned out, my dad and my dog had gone to our local shops and being such a good dog she had duly sat outside waiting. After being in the queue for awhile, my dad walked out totally forgetting the dog was waiting for him, and she must've been distracted at the time he passed her. Dad had gone to other shops and, lmao, even passed my dog again on the way home although he could've been on the other side of the road or nearer the far side of the pavement.
While my darling, obedient little pooch was sat outside the grocers patiently waiting for him....for 2 hours!!
I retrieved my dog and thanked the woman who called, and made sure to treat my dog while laughingly telling my dad off!
He never lived it down!!

Gdcs? Someone explain this for me, please? My brain has frozen!

Love these stories.
Maggiemaybe your voting story is hilarious.

I gave my sister a special present and 60th birthday card. It was her 60th last year.

I don’t feel so bad now?

I’m with you there Allsorts. In fact I feel positively relieved!

Thanks for all these stories - hilarious. ?

A young man with a learning disability had been taken to his christmas 'do' by his parents, and they had picked up his friend to take her, too.
It was really snowy out when the parents went to pick him up.
Big piles of snow had built up at the road edges, and it was snowing heavily.

They dropped the friend home, and the easiest way was for their son to get out, and his friend to slide across and use the same door.

The friend got out of the car and went into her home, and the parents drove off, but they had left their son behind..
They didn't realise till they got home!

Arrived home from maternity hospital with all the family, put on the kettle and realised the baby was missing. He was still in the car and, many years later, teases us about it.
Recently he picked up his young children (busily evading his attempts to gather them and their belongings), drove home and found he’d left his dog at our house.

I don’t feel so bad now?

I had a headmaster once who went to some teachers conference in Birmingham.
On his return by train he rang his wife from the station to pick him up , “But dear,” she said “you took the car this morning”. ??

That was for Chocolatelovinggran

Nothing new to me.Many years ago, I went home on the bus, leaving my new baby outside the Co Op in his pram....

I made the same mistake too Witzend with the cakes. Popped two sandwich tins in to bake, Hubby walked in and said "thought you were making buns ?". I decided to do what Pigma suggested upthread and here's a sample of the end product. Have to say they were delicious and I managed to get 12 out of one tin

I parked my car in a street near to railway station recently as I was taking the train south but returning with DD in her car.
Three days after returning my daughter said “Mum, where’s your car?” Forgot to pick it up…
Put prescription in Boots in town and told to come back in an hour. Went shopping, forgot all about it and went home by car. Had to go in a few days later when I remembered (it wasn’t urgent).
Left purse on roof of car, kind man followed me home to return it. Nothing new, as a young woman I drove home with a birthday cake on the roof, which survived and once policeman made me pull in and when I wound the window down, handed me a can of beans. The large cardboard box of groceries was still on the roof..

My house cleaner was very late yesterday. When she wasn’t there at 12:30 I started to feel irritated. When she wasn’t there at 12:45 I texted, “ are you coming today?” She finally arrived hour late, offering no apology!
Later in the day I suddenly dawned on me that she had arrived at 1:00, her regular time. I don’t know how things get muddled in my mind sometimes!

My husband made rather an expensive mistake. He was flying to Australia and had a stop over in Singapore. On returning to the airport to continue his journey he found he had mistaken the time of the flight and was twelve hours late. He had to rebook his flight and pay for it a second time!!

Think I’d have been inclined to take a scone cutter to the cakes to make ‘buns’ but, at that price, it’s a good job you didn’t! I have driven off twice - yes, twice - in the last fortnight with my handbag on the roof of the car. First time was at home and luckily my neighbour was in his garden and flagged me down, second time in a car park and I got as far as the barrier and someone waved furiously at me. Not just me though, I was once in the queue for petrol and the chap at the next pump started driving off with a Costa coffee on his roof!

Just to update, pleased to say that all my fairy cakes sold! Though I was a bit ? to see that they were charging £1 each for just a couple of mouthfuls - I was expecting 50p max.

I hadn’t realised that it was the summer fete as well as a cake sale - one very popular fund raiser was a ‘Splat The Teacher!’ , throwing wet sponges at heads, two at a time. Apparently all the teachers took turns - good on them. ?

Saw a beautiful green crochet style dress (East) in my size in our local charity shop, thought that would be lovely for a wedding.

Left shop empty handed, then last in bed thought you numpty! going to a wedding next February and what's more have a jacket as yet unworn that would go with the dress.

9.30am whizzed round to shop en route to gym , luckily dress was still on rail Whew.

Put dress on back seat of car and didn't look at it again until removed from grandsons car seat, as picking up both DGSs from school, lucky looked inside bag .
Shock horror only half dress was in the bag!
The crochet top half, the green separate lining was missing!

I can report that got to shop just before closing and now have both parts to the dress and it fits. for now Christmas is in the way
