Tell me what stupid things you have done so I don't feel such an idiot!

Well, it happens all too frequently, mind is somewhere else and I go to the fridge, put the thing in the fridge and left what should be refrigerated on the counter, e.g. bottle of white wine, put the corkscrew in the fridge, wine on the counter, for coffee, put the granules in the fridge, milk on the counter.....

today I went to pick up a parcel from the sorting office and left my red slip on the couch...d'oh!

yesterday I accidentally flushed one of the machine parts at work down the toilet...long story but arghh!

it seems to be a daily occurrence

I booked our honeymoon a few months ago and had the option of a studio apartment or a one bedroom apartment. In true MSE style I chose the cheaper option- the studio! It wasn't until after paying I realised my error. A studio apartment has 2 single beds NOT a double. I'm hoping we can push the beds together..... or it might not be much of a honeymoon lol!

My sister accidentally purchased her plane ticket for travelling in the far east a month, for a month earlier than she planned to go- changing it would have cost her about the same as it would cost her to change it.

Also when we were children we turned up for our ferry a day late and then on the return trip turned up a day early. Add that to one holiday where we missed our flight to Canada and had to fly the next day, we decided my dad shouldn't be in charge of the planning anymore. TBH maybe none of us should be allowed to be in charge of travelling?

My list is probably endless, but here are some recent incidents. I blame it on the fact that my brain is always trying to be one step ahead, making it not actually think about what its doing right this second!

Booked some cheap flights and booked the wrong day, cost almost as much to move them as it did to book them (damn you EasyJet).

Got drunk last Saturday and was convinced I'd left my bag on the train, cancelled phone, cards everything. Friend texted my husband the next day to say I'd left my bag at his place.. DOH! (At least I got my passport back, that would have cost a lot to replace!)

On Sunday I came out of Tesco and couldn't find my car. After a few minutes I remembered I dont have a car any more and had borrowed my son's
I've also (3 times!) called at the local Londis on my way home from somewhere then walked home, only realising Ive left the car behind when I couldn't see it on the drive.

Heehee me and OH have done this when we had our dad's car for a while. We would hunt everywhere for 'our' car and then start panicking, before something clicked and we'd both go very pink.

Got on a train for one stop within London but the train shot straight through the station I wanted and 40 min later stopped at its first stop!!! Added 2 hours to my journey home and I had to wait 30 min for train back to London. Luckily the guard took pity on me and didn't charge me the fare. Even worse was I checked the station indicator board and saw the train didn't stop at my station but boarded the train anyway .

Got drunk after work on a Friday night and took the train home & fell asleep. Another passenger woke me up at my station (end of the line) and I proceeded to argue with her that we weren't at my station despite looking out the window and seeing the station sign. She walked off probably thinking I was either an ungrateful little sod or just too drunk to think straight.

Honeymoon in Australia - flew into Sydney and stayed the night then flew to Ayres Rock the next morning and stayed on a campsite. Woke up the next morning and thought it was great it was so quiet in the shower block. Then realised on the way back to our tent that we'd forgotten to change our watches from Sydney time to Central Australian time and had woken up 2 hours too early. D'oh! Wasn't too happy as I hadn't had much sleep the previous two nights.

Reported my car as stolen.
Then remembered that I'd driven it into town the previous day, forgotten and walked home. Cost me a parking ticket as well.

Walking down the hall at my old house, which was partly lit by the street light outside, I clock what I think is an intruder, jump out of my skin and start shouting. Only to suddenly realise I am having a row with my own shadow
