I was looking out of the lounge window and thought I recognised someone going past. From the comfort of my sofa, I picked up the remote to rewind... Blush Grin

I found myself trying to melt a kit Kat in the microwave earlier. Blush
I've no idea why.

I made tea earlier - forgot to put a teabag in. Made it walked into the lounge to have a sit down and only discovered when sat on the couch and took a sip.

Just moved house. My head is still in a packing box and I still can’t find it. Maybe it’s been put in the loft?

I lost a Friday. Last week, ds spent extra time finishing his school work for the whole week on the Monday and Tuesday, so the week was a bit like groundhog day repeating. It was Wednesday, then Thursday, then I woke up convinced it was Friday morning. But then I noticed on my phone it said Saturday. I had to check with google nest, then do another google check, before I believed it. Still baffled Confused

That's so funny! I've done similar on laptop screen, but on paper is a whole new level Grin

Not today but I was cleaning once, and moving things out of my way in the hall to vacuum. I tried to push the stairs back out of my way.

@FunTimes2020 I can use two fingers on my laptop, it's got a touchscreen Grin

Also once I couldn't find my electric razor and asked my then partner to give me my phone so I could call my and listen out for it buzzing.

I tried to call home once to ask something, but no one answered. I found myself wondering why the dog wasn't answering.

I could go on forever. In my defence I do have a neurological problem.

Added wine to my tea instead of milk one morning! In my defence, the wine box and the 6 pint milk bottle weighed the same and it was early 😂

I have been sitting in my car listening to the radio and pretending i'm driving to work in the mornings - but now i might actually be going back to work ,I am scarced witless .
Also i have started to google the names of the birds in my garden and say " Hello Mr Finch.Hello Mrs Sparrow " to them .

@FunTimes2020

Maybe I should go out for a walk.

Thank god I'm not the only person who has done that. I also have tried many times, to press on a word in a paper book, as I do when using the dictionary function in the Kindle app.

I've never tried to rewind anyone though so I feel a little better about myself now.Grin

When I'm walking along and someone walks past me, and I glance in my rear view mirror to have another look.

Obviously I do not have a rear view mirror when walking, it's that flick of the eyes to where it would be if I was driving...

I've done this more than once.

SorrySadDog · 20/06/2020 15:03

I ran around my house panicking that I’d lost the dog. I was convinced DP had locked her outside and she’d escaped.

Then the groomers rang to say she was ready for collection....

When you try and unlock your house with your car keys.

Mummiepig · 20/06/2020 15:06

Yep the other day I pointed and pressed the car keys at the front door
I poured cola on my cereal once

Jellycatspyjamas · 20/06/2020 15:08

Tried to unlock the front door by clicking my key at it like it was my car.
