soooo many to chose from, but the funniest is putting the dinner in the washing machine to cook, looking through the glass thinking, it doesnt look like its cooking?

I work in a restaurant and yesterday a customer asked for some ketchup and mayonnaise. I got the dishes went to the fridge and for some reason, got out the milk, filled the dishes and went back to the customer. We were both rather surprised when I put the dishes down. Red face!

I got cross with my husband and called him a Sidiot (I meant to say stupid idiot). He couldn't stop laughing. now all the family tease me and tell me that I'm such a Sidiot!

On a not so funny front, I regularly put the tea-bags in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard .

If any thing is missing in my house, look in the fridge- it seems my default place to put things- car keys, passport, dog whistle, toothpaste...

I went out to a smart restaurant with two watches on my wrist!

Another time, I was wearing odd shoes!!! Although, to be fair, they did look similar.

Mine would be returning an item in a well known catalogue store. Was told item ( a bag) was out of stock so I walked over to the display bag picked it up intending to slap it down on the corner, only to slip on floor demolish a floor display and cut my knee , rip my tights in the process. However , I did get my bag in the end

Rushing to put away the shopping before visitors arrived, I discovered my senior moment when a somewhat disdainful friend extracted some Walls sausages from behind her 'lumpy' cushion. On placing them back in their rightful place in the fridge lo and behold there was my 'missing' purse!

I wondered why my niece chuckled with the shop assistant recently saying she could only afford the cheap seats. I had said to the assistant that she was looking for a gallery bra.

When my Niece got a new boyfriend i told my husband adding "He is a vegan" my husband looked puzzled and said "I thought they were extinct".. looking amazed i said "What??" to which he then said.. " oh no.. that's vikings" !!!

I wondered why the flies and wasps weren't succumbing to the insecticide spray I was using. After a few weeks, I looked at the instructions. It turned out to be a waterproofing spray I'd bought for my new trainers.
Then there was the time I thought I'd made cous cous but it didn't taste or feel right. It was oatmeal....

Well I actually remembered to change out of my slippers and old t-shirt to go to meet my friend for coffee, but didn't realise until I sat down that I was still wearing my tatty old, paint stained gym trousers with my fancy blouse and smart boots!

Completely without thinking I once emptied the mop bucket (full of water) in the kitchen waste bin!, I haven't a clue what came over me but my three sons will never let me forget it!.

My grandma, bothered by the cold draught, said “can’t you come through that door without keep opening it!” She never lived that one down!

Going to the Christmas lights switch on in the village, having a coffee and cake in the church, remarking how quiet it was and coming out to find the lights all on and the fireworks over!

Speaking to my Daughter on the phone saying that I don't want to uninstall my brain as I may not get it back again. She found this most amusing. I was speaking about a Brain Trainer that I have on my phone but did not actually state that.

My memory recall is definitely not as good these days but my partners moment beats any of mine so far, he was off out to do some gardening and had just changed but before leaving he shouted “I’ve left some wet socks in the bathroom” then quietly added “I threw them in the loo by mistake” so I cracked up as it just sounded so funny, turns out he meant to throw them in the wash bin, but they ended up in the toilet instead.

One example of many-tidying up one day,I popped the washing in the machine and some rubbish into the kitchen bin.Later,throwing something else away,I found my washing in the bin. Yes,the rubbish was in the washing machine!

Asked to find the remains of the Christmas bird in the freezer OH was amused to find I had labelled it Cold Turkey.

My mother had one years ago as she told me she'd bought a condom set for a wedding present! Of course when I looked it was a condiment set?

As I get older I get worse but the all-time favourite (of my OH at least) was when I spent the day with him in his large white delivery van. We had parked for him to make a delivery, and I nipped out to avail myself of the ‘facilities’. I got back in the van and put my seatbelt on, only to look out the side window to see him roaring with laughter in a van parked two spaces away. No way at all to face it out, so merely unbuckled and left, not saying a word to the very confused stranger sitting beside me - I don’t believe he will ever let me forget that one

Putting on hold ups for Church and by the end of the service they were round my ankles!

My DH was very amused the other day when I was having a conversation with an answerphone message on my mobile, I felt such a fool when I realised !

I have also lost my purse only to find it in the freezer, lost my glasses to (finally) find them on my head, went out on a charity collection and was on my way home before I realised (only because my 5 year old son told me) that I was wearing one blue shoe and one black. When making tea I have poured the water into the sugar bowl, put both teabag and coffee granules in the same cup and once poured four cups of tea for visitors, adding milk and sugar as required, only to have it pointed out to me that there was no actual tea in the pot - just hot water. (That was really embarrassing - how could I have failed to register that?) Last week I was making a couple of meals at once, I had a chicken broth and potatoes on the stove top and in a very senior moment I drained the broth instead of the potatoes! I was left with a pan of vegetables and bones!
On the bright side though, I'm slightly reassured that if I am going doolally I'm in good company.

My mother had many senior moments, one day she spent ages looking for the shoes she wanted to wear out eventually finding them in the fridge.

My Mum was always getting her words mixed up. One Christmas she asked the greengrocer (separate shops for everything in those days) for some Mistle and Hollytoe, then once out shopping we dropped into a café for a bit of lunch and she asked for a Teested Toacake, everyone was roaring laughing and she had no idea why.
