Ring a bell ?..

This is true - as I have a bad short term memory (although very good long term one strangely) one day I thought I'd try get a pack of cards and remeber as many in order as I could - as I got the cards down I forgot what I was going to do - no joke!!!!

Lol Paul..now thats funny..:o)

Join the club, do it all the time lol

Hate to admit it but yes I`ve been there and done that, the most annoying one is going upstairs, cannot think why, then remember after I`ve gone back down, they do say exercise is good for us though....

lol DD , a little too often for me..
Lincs, done that a few times too..:o)

Yeah, me too :o)) I find the best thing to do is retrace my steps and then it often comes back to me.

Oh dear, Joan ... that's not a good start to the day! ... Still, at least you didn't buy a 'New Baby Girl' card instead of a 'Passed your driving test' one as my Mum did this week for her grandaughter! ... Give me strength ... :o)

Hi Lily, i try that too but it does not work for me..or maybe i forget to do it..lol

lol Shirley,OH wrote a B/day card out for daughter the other day & put on it..from Mum..Daniel (my son) & Ben (not Dad )..she has told him to see his GP...lol

Good she has a sense of humour ... :o)

I think she meant it..lol

Yes, that's my method Lily. What was I thinking about before I forgot what I'm thinking about now? My other problem is waking up in the small hours to go to the bathroom and then not being able to get back to sleep because I keep remembering all the things I'd forgotten

Ha ha Andrew,the mind is a funny thing...especially an old one ...like mine..lol

I'm doing it a lot too. Methinks it's the 'old timers disease'! lol

L
I do it too, put the washing in the bin and the tin can in the washing machine, yes Andrew cant get to sleep for thinking about all the things I should have done on my "to do" list, but didnt do.

At least we are all in good company !!!! Nice to know we are not alone.

I meant to comment on this wonderful blog earlier but I was side-tracked and forgot all about it ... ;o)

My husband and I were invited to a civic reception this week. We were very pleased to be invited and were to meet up with friends. I bought something new to wear and had everything organized the week before. Come the big day I got out the iron to fix my husbands shirt while he checked on the time.........it was last night Linda....... he told me. :o)))

It comes to us all, so dont worry your not on your own :o)))

Oooooh !

Forgotton what I was going to say........

Thank you for all your comments..it comes to us all it seems..
lol.. Cazcat, Tt..
Oh Linda..what can i say..lol.. shouldnt laugh really.
cant remember what i was going to say back to you Annella..lol

Not alone in my house, my hubby was sent to buy a birthday card for my brothers 60th, he came back with a lovely pink flowery one, his excuse," I forgot who it was for at least it had 60 on it"

I always forget if I've locked the car, so I go back to check. Then I can't remember if I've checked :D

I go upstairs to fetch something, get sidetracked, do something else while I'm up there, go back downstairs and hubby asks where the said thing is. Then I have to go back upstairs again to get the thing I was supposed to get in the first place!!! Madness lol

Lol Lincs..at least he DID get a card..
Hywel..i am the same with the back door at night..:o)
That will keep you fit Sheilar..lol

May I join this crazy club, I'm just grateful I live in a bungalow....no stairs....The wonder of it all is we are all happily sitting at a computer tapping away, which is supposed to be for whizz kids :-)))

yes but i can only type with one finger...lol.

And someone keeps moving the keys!

Welcome to my world, Andrew! ... So annoying when the OH hangs his up on the key hook every time ... mine rarely make it that far . . . . .

Shirley, I think Andrew means the computer keys (as in keyboard)!!! lol

Lol, Sheilar, it's been a long day ... can you tell at all? :o)

lol ;o)

It's ok, not the first time I haven't read the previous comment ... and probably won't be the last! ... :o)

Lol Andrew..is that with a tipple or two..
I thought he meant keyboard too Shirley..lol

i do the same Shirley..:o))

Hi Joanella, You must be thinking of me , i do it all the time glad i'm not on my own :)

looking at all of us on here Sue...you are not on your own..lol

oh, the times I've done that! stood up to do something, but can't remember what it was; try to retrace thought, or actions, that led to that decision, but ... it's reaching the stage where I state my intention out loud, in the hope that I'll still remember it when I get to wherever it is I was intending to go!

Think it was Bob Monkhouse who said you know you've got a bad memory when you go into a room and can't remember why - and it's the toilet ....

lol thats a good one..:o)
