    LOOKS LIKE I NEED TO COME OFF THE LUCOZADE AND START ON A GALLON A DAY PROSECO :D
    Latest incident put beef in oven Saturday .....(left frying pan in oven )

    Went out came back oven stinking ....Luckily it was only a one egg sized frying pan ....beef no good as I could only smell plastic .... I do not have an elite stomach ...my mind wont forget what I want it to ie that it was cooked with a frying pan in oven .

    And my latest trick is when I get in the car I forget I have to lower my head :eek::eek:...I haven't half whacked myself lately ....

    My dgd looks at me like I must be taking the "mick" when I ask her to repeat something I asked her five minutes ago :rotfl:

    And firmly tells me ...Grandma you cant have forgot that already I just told you !!!!

    TBW glad your DGD got home from hospital ok
    Whoops!! could have been worse:o
    Oh underperky I feel your pain, firstly for the beef but also your memory. I am waiting for a brain scan appointment surely I can't still have chemo brain almost two years later.


    I would make room izzey :D I can always make room for alcohol........think I might have just discovered the memory problem :rotfl:
    I've got 4l of Tia Maria in the cupboard because I was struggling to find good comparisons v W so kept stocking up ......it was slightly embarrassing when i had the same driver three times in one week :rotfl: but onwards and upwards haha

    Good luck with the scan , it will be just side affects xx
