I ordered a toaster and kettle set at 4.33 the other morning, it seemed a great buy to start with and had money off, yeepee thought I.

It's a fucking toy set.

Arsebiscuits.

This made me HOWL op!

I brushed my teeth with athletes foot cream last year whilst in the hell of the 4 month sleep regression. Can laugh now but Jesus wept it was the final nail in the coffin back then!!!

God it was vile. I realised pretty quick and spat it straight out. Ohs athletes foot cream that he left right next to the toothpaste.. let's just say he bloody knew about it!!

Locked me and DD out of the house with no phone and no coats in winter. Also couldn’t remember DHs phone number to ring form neighbours

Paid for my shopping and then wandered off without it - twice Blush

Added tonic water to a cup of coffee instead of milk

Stood at the front door pressing my car key fob and wondering why it's not unlocking, it took awhile for it to register why !

MadeForThis · 29/03/2019 19:53

I've tried to unlock my front door before with the car remote.

Also made numerous cups of coffee without boiling the kettle. Cold coffee, eeerrrggghhh

MrsH193 · 29/03/2019 19:55

I put the bib on the dog. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Livedandlearned · 29/03/2019 19:57

I was served a cup of cold coffee by a heavily pregnant customer of mine who also had a toddler.

I didn't tell her and poured it away later. I remember being that tired Grin

DontPanic42 · 29/03/2019 19:59

Loving these!

Lost the chicken I was cooking for dinner, found it the next day in my bedroom on the book shelf. Confused

MCC85 · 29/03/2019 20:02

Went out in odd shoes.....twice (once was to my discharge appt with the midwife!!)

ibuiltahomeforyou · 29/03/2019 20:05

Put my (electric) kettle on the hob and set it on fire!

Hazlenutpie · 29/03/2019 20:05

I took £30 out of my bank account, at a cash till, but didn't take the money. Someone got lucky.

When chucking rubbish into one of those big communal wheelie bins I threw my keys, which were in my hand, in too. It was far too deep for me to get anywhere near the bottom so I went to the adjoining shop which sells fancy radiators to borrow a broom, I think it was, to fish them out. The owner must have thought I was a loony. Thankfully it was empty.

@PowerslidePanda

You were clearly wishing your coffee was Gin! 😂

ScaredofMomo · 29/03/2019 20:23

DH opened up the cupboard we keep tea in and found an iceberg lettuce. Nothing to do with me of course!

AvocadosBeforeMortgages · 29/03/2019 20:24

I've tried to get into my house using my Oyster card before now...

SunshineCake · 29/03/2019 20:25

Thought my immobile baby had been taken while I was in the next room and no one had come in the house. Turned out he was in his bouncy chair and not on the beanbag where I was convinced I'd left him.

VanGoghsDog · 29/03/2019 20:27

I put an electric kettle on the gas hob in Australia as a result of jet lag. Nearly burned the hotel down!

HopeAndJoy16 · 29/03/2019 20:29

I went out for 3 hours leaving the back door wide open TWICE. I never told my husband and just feel very fortunate that we weren't robbed!

In fact, just this week i left the back door ajar after letting the cat out and went upstairs to bed. I am no longer sleep deprived, just very forgetful obviously! Didn't tell my DH about that either!

SurgeHopper · 29/03/2019 20:30

Reversed backwards out of the garage with the door wide open

Even the tow truck guy was impressed

3k later

To be fair I did this whilst not pregnant and pre DC

pumpkinpie01 · 29/03/2019 20:33

I put a bowl of leftover spaghetti hoops in the airing cupboard instead of the fridge

MustBeAWeasly · 29/03/2019 20:35

I must of left the keys in the door every day for the first three months.

Also kept putting the kettle in the fridge and milk on the kettle stand 😑

SureTry · 29/03/2019 20:35

Panicked and asked DH where DS was, he looked at me weird as I was actually breastfeeding DS at the time 😩
