Win a £100 M&S voucher and 4 'Senior Moments' books! **NOW CLOSED**

Getting my kids names mixed up

The latest one was at the checkout, I'd bagged the shopping and looked blankly at the cashier having completely forgotten what I had to do next....oh yeah I have to pay now!

Put the teapot on the doorstep & empty milk bottle in the cupboard!!

finding the remote control in the fridge was a low point

Getting in the bath then thinking something wasn't quite right, it took a couple of minutes before I realised I was still wearing my socks.

Another 'junior' moment...just to prove that not only seniors have them A new mum, I'd driven into town to do some shopping, put a bag of shoe repairs on to the roof of the car while I saw to the baby...and drove off. Never did find those shoes!

Working in travel in Africa I was due to fly early in the morning to check on a new safari lodge. Hung all my clothes for the 2 day trip on the back of the door so they would not crease. Got up at 5 , grabbed my bag - got to the camp by light charter aircraft to find nothing in my bag. I had left all my gear on hangars, uncreased! Fortunately the camp had a small shop so managed with a couple of their T-shirts!! I now pack entirely the night before!!!

Count me in yes please would love to win merry Christmas ? everyone

Thanks for this thread. It's so comforting to know that I'm not the only gran who has gone out wearing odd shoes!

I went to the doctor's receptionist & asked if there was a box to put my prescription in. Laughing, she pointed to the huge bright red box on the wall adjacent, so I made her laugh even more as I popped my prescription into the box I asked if she knew where the opticians was (to cover my senior moment!)

My friend and I were booking for various theatre shows over the last few months. She texted me one night saying,"I can't believe it,I'm Raging! my bank card has been hacked and I've been sent theatre tickets for The a Sound of Music" I texted back, " Well that's good because I paid you for them last week!" The next text from her said," OMG! I've just phone the ticket place and went mad at them, I also phoned my bank who put me onto the fraud department and now my card has been cancelled!"
I have never laughed so much in my life! The bank were very understanding when she phoned them back but she still had to wait a week for a new bank card.

I remember my friend having a 'senior moment' back in the 80's, we worked together in the office and she wanted to send a cheque to her sister in America for her birthday. I found her standing in front of the fax machine looking somewhat perplexed, so I asked if she was ok. 'No', she replied, 'I'm not sure which way the cheque goes in the machine should it be facing up or down'. We still laugh about it now.

I can't take credit for this one - my friend was once in the freezer section of a well known shop and picked up a frozen chicken and asked if it was suitable for freezing - needless to say the shop assistant looked puzzled!

Hubby was picking me up from work one night and was waiting at the car park opposite my office. I came trotting along, jumped in the car and shouted that he needed to clean the car - it was filthy and looking disgusting. Only then when I looked at him did I realise it wasn't him - I'd got into a vaguely similar car.....

Has to be the trying to fit the kettle into the door of the fridge and standing not understanding why it wouldn't fit until my daughter picked up the milk from the worktop and put it into the fridge while laughing at me :O

After a works Christmas do I got a taxi home only to pull up outside of the wrong house as we'd moved the previous week! The taxi driver was very confused!

boiling the kettle then walking off. Twenty minutes later I return to a cold kettle.doh

I did once put eggs on to boil. And then went to fetch the kids from school. One ruined saucepan - bits of egg everywhere and egg shell stuck securely in the artex coving.

So many!!

Last night I was trying to tell my DH that I was defrosting something for a stew on Sunday. It's been in the freezer for ages, but I just couldn't remember the word!

I was shouting at him things like it's not duck! & getting cross when he didn't know what I meant. Not chicken!! It hops!!

In the end I had to get the packet out of the fridge to show him it was rabbit!

Putting my feet up at home at the end of the day only to discover I'd been wearing a pair of odd sandals all day, see photo.

I got up at my usual time washed dressed had cup of tea set off for work only to have it pointed out to me once I got there and had started working that I was on holiday that week. I've never been allowed to forget it.

We had some workmen in , at the time we had a large fish tank, one of the workmen asked me what was my favourite. Not being able to remember the names of the fish..... I commented " My favourite is the one with the big testicles... ( meaning tentacles) whoops red faces all around.

I closed the gate - only to find myself on the wrong side of it!

I wrote my Christmas cards a couple of days ago to discover that I had written the postcode of a house I lived in 20 years ago and have lived in a couple since then. I write my address on the rear because I am never sure who is still on this planet and it is easier for the PO to return them. I only write the house number and postcode.
