*sigh* I went and bought a card in the card shop... came out, ambled to baby clinic... sat down in said clinic and waited my turn... was called in, and asked * where is your baby Mrs xyx* then realised that I had left tiny baby (first clinic after he was born) outside card shop... OMG... says I... and legged it all the way back to shop, to find no baby in pram.... and smiling Greek ladies waving to me... they had taken him into the shop... phew!! There is someone else on these boards who recognised that story, from 35 years ago.... and so we met up again for the first time in donkeys years, lolol.

Memo to self......... erm.... I forgot!! ;¬))

Love

Daff xxxx

I left my youngest on the bus once!
She was about 3, I was laden up with shopping, and she was having a major strop!
Usually, I followed the girls off the bus, but this time, the youngest wouldn't go in front of me, so eldest got off, I got off, turned round - and the bus was going - youngest hadn't got off!
Major panic ensued for about 20 seconds - then the bus stopped and youngest was ejected from the bus onto the grass verge!

She never did that again - always made sure she was in front of me when we got off the bus in future. LOL

Hi Jean, Mine was back in the olden days too. I was about two blocks away from the shop and I can remember this niggle that something wasn't right. I remember picking up my toddler and running back to the shop where the new daughter was happily sleeping in her pram. I felt like such an idiot. Sometimes I think I should have left her there!!

I left my new born outside the shop I had just been in, was halfway down the street before I realised, and the shop owner was doubled up with laughter! That was when it was safe to leave a child outside a shop.

And please remember that the Milk goes in the coffee and the Fabric softener in the Washing machine....Not the other way around! :-))

Let me see!!

Pick up phone receiver and punch in phone number on the computer keyboard.

Punch in numbers on the adding machine and wonder why they aren't appearing on the computer monitor.

Take the toddler by the hand and walk him halfway home from the shop, then realize you have left the newborn baby in the pram outside the shop.

In the middle of cooking cakes. Rush to shops to buy missing ingredient. Come home and throw car keys onto kitchen table. Find them a month later still attached to the binder rings inside the recipe folder where they had fallen.

Don't set the alarm at work using your cashpoint pin

a. you'll have to hang around for the arrival of plod

b. you'll miss your bus

c. the alarm will not dispense cash

reading these again have made me smile.

Now, in our house, you are not looking at a mistake if you find loo rolls in the airing cupboard. I have no other space to keep them!

Check it's your mobile and NOT the remote that you have put in your handbag!

.......and Julia, carrying on from yours......don't make a good stock using chicken bones etc for soup......and then forget to put a saucepan underneath when straining it over the kitchen sink.....

Your ancient automatic car will not start unless the control is in 'park' first.....

Don't put your half eaten tuna and cheese toasted sandwich on the floor to see who's at the door and expect it to still be in existence with the dog in the room.

When straining veggies, I must remember to hold the collander OVER the sink. That way I will not get scalded feet. Whoops

lmao at Jane ..... I've used somethings as a dog lead but never a bra !

Don't put dog unattached dog lead down in the long grass while you go off to pick up the poo.I couldn't find it again and had to use my Bra as a lead lol

Do not tear off a piece of toilet roll to blow nose ...and then throw toilet roll down loo instead of small piece.....

Michelle that is my fave one of doing ..luckily all around here know me now and ask who I am talking to ,,,,,,or just go off grinning

I have tried washing without the water switched on,
Cooking on the hob after plugging in the fryer
If I ever lose anything .....check the fridge or freezer, smokes, keys purses are the best for being in there, but I have been known to put the rubbish in, dog leads .......the list goes on


Also remember when running a bath it helps if the plug is in

That when one is crouched under a hedge overhang picking up doggy do-dos and talking to the dog with silly words that one checks that they are actually alone and that there isn't someone walking along the footpath who when you stand up says 'Hi' to you with a grin as they have obviously heard your silly conversation with the dog.
