Do you find it hard to ‘let it go?’

I’m not referring to the Always pads advert for bladder leaks 😂 but being able to move on/put it behind you when you realise you’ve done something silly.

A few days ago I went to the Range to buy some gardening stuff and as it started to rain quite heavily when I got home I left the bag in the boot of the car and made a dash for the door.

I didn’t bother getting it in until the following afternoon and that’s when I realised I must have left the tomato feed and the houseplant spray bottle at the checkout and they were the things I actually went for in the first place. If only I’d unpacked the shopping immediately there would have been time to nip back and hopefully claim them.

I’m so cross with myself for not paying proper attention at the checkout and I know it’s not the end of the world as was not really much money to waste. I’m also cross with the checkout girl for not calling me back as there was nobody else behind me so she must have noticed.

Are you one of those who can just shrug and move on or are you harder on yourself than others?

And I won’t be telling DD or she’ll think it’s the start of the slippery slope! 😂

I walked into a road sign on Tuesday and fell flat on my back. Big bruise and cut bridge of nose. Road sign fine.

I slipped on ice some years ago and knocked myself out hitting my head on a parking meter 😂
I still laugh about it now when I’m reminded of it.
And no,I never fret about anything. I made a £200 blooper a few weeks back by ordering the wrong shade of curtain material.
I was annoyed with myself over the material but as my partner always says: are we going to hungry, are we going to be cold, no.

Oh, I find it very hard to 'let it go'. I find myself lying in bed at night fretting about something I've said or done from years ago - and which was probably of little consequence at the time and even less so now. No-one is harder on themselves than I am.

This has been happening to me a lot recently, it’s turned out to be a symptom of depression! And so has my recent forgetfulness.

I do so many stupid things that I couldn’t possibly fret about them all. I give myself a frequent talking to but it doesn’t work.
One of my favourites is when I put the Sunday joint in the ice box of the fridge.
I looked everywhere, rang the store, looked in the freezer but not in the ice box. Why would I? That was for ice cream.
We had sausages. I found it weeks later. We didn’t eat ice cream often!
