Hi everyone, last week I went on holiday with my daughter and 2 grandchildren. Before we set off I did the post code on my sat nav. We where on our way and around 30 minutes into our journey when my daughter said she would use her iPhone as my sat nav was old and she would be able to see where all the traffic jams where on hers, we stopped and I told her the post code she laughed out loud and said I had actually typed into the sat nav her car registration number. Another time on the holiday we where going down to the beach and I said the sand might be a bit dry to make sand castles so it might be best to take 2 bottles of water to wet it. Do you think I am ready for the home. Have any of you said or done anything as bonkers, if so welcome to my world.

Speaking of microwaves.

I have the bad habit, repeated many times, of popping something in the microwave (cauliflower, green beans) before a family meal to heat them up - then finding the dish still sitting there, when they've all gone home.

I have a tiny kitchen so it's not always possible to keep everything piping hot at the same time. I now say, 'Remind me there's ........ in the microwave.'

And sometimes they even remember to do so smile

We all make mistakes Aggie. So what?!
Wouldn't waste tine dwelling on things, especially from people you may never meet.?
