Re: One of those 'moments'........

I confess, . . yes I've had a few "blonde" moments too, . . like putting the kettle on then wondering why it hasn't boiled after 10 minutes only to discover I've lit the wrong gas burner.

Re: One of those 'moments'........

I've bought 'special' cards for family birthdays and put them aside......come a few days before the Day, I search high and low and can't remember where I put them ....... I often end up having to go out and buy more!

Oh I often do that with my electric kettle, Nero! Makes me feel like a fool! Mags, have you thought of having a place like a shoebox with monthly dividers for those cards?

Re: One of those 'moments'........

Just remembered one of those 'moments' which has lasted for two years. Decorating my bedroom and hall I took my mum's and my grandma's wedding rings off and put them in a 'safe place'. They are so safe, to this day I can't remember where I've put them No doubt someone will find them after I've popped my clogs

I am brilliant at that too...Infact have a card this year for someone, who was supposed to get it last year, but lost it, so bought another, then found it recently!So they will get it this year, unless I loose it again!

Mmm, me too.
Or, doing the 'de-stress Stressmas' thing through the year, get things which I think people might like, then quite forget about them and go out and buy presents for all. 2 presents each!

I am very good at going to the shop for something I really need, and coming back with everything I do not need, and without the one item I went for!

Re: One of those 'moments'........

Well done for jogging my memory yesterday! A Lakeland catalogue arrived and that, together with this thread, reminded me that I had bought 3 lovely decorated 'small pudding basin and cream jug' sets with holly etc on them in January, planning to make puddings and give them as small gifts.
Now all I need is to remember where I stowed them safely and then remember to make sthe puddings!
