    Was emailed an offer of 2 for 1 tickets at Festival Fringe for Sunday 11th on Sunday. Great, I thought, we enjoyed that comedian last time we saw him. Duly bought two tickets before rushing out. In car, sudden thought: what is today's date?

    Even more frustrating, neither of my daughters could pass the tickets on to a friend so they were wasted. (We could not make Sunday 11th!)
    . . .I did not speak out

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me..

    When rushing for work one morning I walked onto the shop floor for someone to point out I still had my slippers on my feet. was just luck that I had an old pair of ballet pumps in the car for when im wearing heels or would of had a 10mile drive home to get shoes. my workmates have been calling me bungalow for a week.

    One school run monday morning when going out the door decided it was cold enough for a coat and popped back and picked up sons coat on the washing pile as had been washed over the weekend. On entering the playground i said goodbye and watched him walk across the playground to class. He was half way across and i thought what's that dangling down from his coat, ran over to him and it was a pair of my knickers stuck to the velcro fastenings. Was so glad i spotted it before he got to class but don't know how many spotted it before me! LOL

  • While in the grip of first baby lack of sleep, I reached for about bottle of water next to my bed and instead took a nice long swig from a bottle of baby lotion.

    Wearing bright yellow sponge bob slippers to the shops I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the floor felt funny and people were laughing at me!!!

  • Oh and parking in a large multi storey car park with my sister, and as usual we were talking in depth.
    When we got back to the car 3 hours later suddenly realised that we couldn't actually remember which level I had parked the car on. We walked up 6 levels clicking the remote locking before we found it!

  • Does anybody else take the lid off a yogurt and throw it away only to be left with the lid in your hand and a look of bewilderment on your face? I'm always doing this! I should in effect be the size of a rake with the amount of times this happens

    My granny once threw her leather gloves onto her coal fire, instead of the piece of scrap paper in her other hand......

    Somehow when I make a cup of tea the teaspoon always ends up in the bin. I'm always having to fish them out again.
