I've finally done it, I've brushed my teeth with face cleaner

Why? Why did I keep my tube of face cleaning balm, which is so similar to my toothpaste.. next to my toothpaste.

Bedtime here, and I didn't turn the bathroom light on, and had given some of my teeth a really good scrub before I realised.

Wondering what cleanser it is so you didn't notice the taste! 😂

AnneLovesGilbert · 11/03/2022 14:16

I conditioned my hair with face cleanser. Then realised, rinsed like mad and conditioned. It’s rarely felt softer and healthier Grin

I have 4 bars all next to each other on the shelf - soap, shampoo, conditioner and cleanser, I thought they looked different enough but I was just tired enough not to notice.

I've mistaken raid as hairspray... Twice. Both times wondering why it was a bit stiff. Hmm

It was fun.

At my DD's house and no toilet paper in the loo. I grabbed what I thought were baby wipes and used those instead - they were Dettol wipes - ouch and double ouch! I leapt into the shower.

SIL thought it was hysterical!

I woke up in the middle of the night thirsty and hungover. I picked up what I thought was a bottle of water next to
my bed and glugged down half a bottle of lemon body moisturiser before I realised what it was 🤢

I wear glasses but obviously not in the shower. My worst one of many was conditioning my hair with body scrub

I've just looked them both up, but can't find the toothpaste without the box. Like this, but paler colours.

OMG, well now I feel less stupid, it's not just me!

I'm pretty sure I can't taste it anymore, but my brain insists it's still there.. so tired, can't sleep. Maybe I'll have a cup of tea, and start again?!

I cleaned my teeth with savlon last week, spotted that quickly, it doesn't taste nice
Also moisturised my face with hair conditioner once

@EmmaH2022 - for some reason I managed to think "this is horrible" for a few seconds, before reacting to the situation.

It's awful isn't it. I did it twice before I got around to moving the savlon far from the sink.

Oh dear

Well, you've done me a favour

I finally see the advantage to being an over sensitive fuss pot!

Seriously? How was your stomach after that? 😱
lborgia · 11/03/2022 14:34

I have to say, I'm usually just such a fuss pot. Not terribly well at the moment, and it's playing havoc with my brain. Not engaging terribly quickly.

Looking forward to being a fusspot once more!!

I put the ice cream in the cupboard 😬

My grandad once ate a denture tablet and complained that 'this mint is horrible.'

Deep heat for canesten is one day I will never forget!

Deathraystare · 11/03/2022 14:39

I put a salt cellar in the fridge. I used to often attempt to put the kettle in the fridge and whenever we had people over (when I was at home with mum and dad) I would attempt to fill the tea pot with tea bags and wonder why there was not much room for the water.....

How do you drink body moisturiser? Isn't it a completely different consistency to water and too thick drink?
JaneJeffer · 11/03/2022 14:43

I thought this was going to be some new thing that gave you teeth to rival the Osmonds.

eandz13 · 11/03/2022 14:48

Another here that brushed their teeth with Savlon last week.

FindingMeno · 11/03/2022 14:50

The other day I accidentally used nail varnish remover rather than toner.
Tbf it did a decent enough job Grin

PestorPeston · 11/03/2022 14:52

Surely the important question is, are your teeth nice and clean?

I've washed my hair with the dog shampoo before now - was lovely and shiny

My friend, back in uni days, was in bed with a migraine for a few days so I took her a bit of a food parcel round. She asked me to get her (I was going to say fetch but that would have been too much of a pun) some migraine tablets, she told me where they were but all I could find was her dogs worming tablets. I showed her the box and asked if she'd been taking these tablets - yep, she'd been taking the dogs worming tablets for 2 days Grin no wonder her migraine hadn't gone

And yes, it was in her house that I washed my hair with the dog shampoo
