Went to the shop to buy bag of tortilla chips. Picked up some other bits, including those, and went to self scan because there was a queue for the one actual person.
Scanned stuff, got home and unpacked.
Dc asked where tortilla chips were and I had a complete blank about unpacking them. Because I hadn't. They weren't on the receipt either.
So apparently I took a bag of tortilla chips on a nice walk around the shop and left them at the checkout.

Anyone seen my marbles? I appear to have lost a few Hmm

I woke with a stye in my eye and am out of cotton pads so went to tesco for the cotton pads but cos my eye looks shite i applied mascara before i went. It has now irritated the stye and made it worse. Not the clever day I thought I would have.

Rolled off the sofa while interacting the cat 😂 and banged my head

I decided going for s run was a good idea.
I'm sure in the long term it was a good idea but it didn't feel that way at 9.30 this morning

TeamSpike · 21/03/2023 16:30

Ah you have my sympathy. Before mothers day I picked up 2 cards in tesco, scanned them and put them in the trolley while I put the rest of my shopping into my bag. And I happily left the trolley in the bay, picked up the bag and left the cards behind 🤦‍♀️
And today I put some towels in the washing machine and turned it on. When it was finished I opened the door, felt the towels, closed the door and turned it on again 🤷‍♀️ no idea why

Cleaning outside windows off a precarious ladder.

Said my name instead of the dogs name when asked what she was called. Now I have to pretend that my dog is called Anna whenever I see the same dog walker.

Tried on some clothes which had been delivered, decided which to keep and which to return then packaged the return parcel very neatly. Went to hang up the things I was keeping but could not find them then realised I had included them in the returns parcel!

It’s a good job I realised before I’d posted the parcel!

I was clearing up horse muck - one of the wonderful aspects of horse ownership - 'drove' the wheelbarrow up the ramp, which tipped up at the bottom so that I tripped on it, fell over, hit my cheekbone on the edge of the wheelbarrow, did something to my hand on the wheelbarrow handle, slipped down onto the ramp while the wheelbarrow also tipped over and horse shit fell (slowly) down on top of me. Sat there for about half an hour 2 minutes while I figured out how to navigate getting back to my car and back home - 15 minute drive - having called the DP and asked him to put the hot water on so I could have a bath when I got home. He also met me with some clean trousers as I was driving in my knickers...

Love this 😂
Reminds me of when my baby was just days old.
I nipped out to the Shop and was collared by the local busy body.
She asked what we had decided to call her and my mind went blank.
Instead of saying we hadn't quite decided, I spurted out another name entirely.
Then avoided her for 6 months, in the hope she would have forgotten by then. 🥴

Was making a cup of tea earlier when DD came into the kitchen to say she had saved me some of the yummy brownie she'd bought at school. When she tried to hand it to me I reached out with the hand that still had the mug in it, opened my hand to take the brownie and then we both watched in amazement as the cup and the tea spectacularly exploded all over the tiled floor🤔

I apologised to a lamppost. Stepped back at crossing wearing backpack and assumed I had bumped into someone.

Went out for lunch with husband. We paid the bill and then went off to do a bit of shopping, Meanwhile I found restaurant receipt in my pocket (for same restaurant) and had a quick scan. I discovered we had been overcharged to the tune of a tenner. Very annoyed, I quickly found my husband who said he would return to restaurant for refund. We had just arrived at the door when I looked again at receipt and it was from last December.

Offered the octopus energy engineer a cup of tea or coffee ..... when he'd just switched the electricity off (I don't have gas). Stupid me.

I wore odd trainers on the school run ( one navy and one black) didn't even realise until at the school gates 😳

Took my car in for a service and didn't take my driving licence so couldn't drive home in the courtesy car I had booked. I know it should be obvious to take your license but it really didn't occur to me and there is no reminder on the booking information.

Made a cup of tea and a glass of orange juice to take upstairs to my office. Put the milk in the orange juice Confused

Was watching tv and reached out for my deodorant. It was only after I'd sprayed it I realised I'd actually just spayed my underarms with extra strength hairspray Shock

Hit myself in the chin with my Kindle, demonstrated my stupidness to my mate and managed to hit myself in my bruised chin. Again.

Banged my head on the corner of the same shelf I bang it on every day at work. I never learn my lesson and keep standing in the same spot to write and keep banging it. If I move an inch I wouldn't keep banging it but I never learn. No-one else seems to do it. I think my brain is broken

I used to leave the bottom drawer of my desk open and walk into it every single day. I had a permanent bruise on my calf.

Ah my people. I'm always doing stupid stuff.
Today I put the slow cooker in the oven to speed up the cooking. However it wouldn't fit in as I had a shelf above it cooking a pizza so I turned the lid over so the handle was inside the bowl. Didn't think the handle would melt off into the food. Honestly. I'm ridiculous.
Fortunately it was still in one piece so I scooped it out and served dinner as planned 🤣

Put the ice cream tub in the cupboard and the ice cream sauce in the fridge.
Realised 2 hrs later. After going in that cupboard multiple times and not noticing

Earnestly assured my colleagues that an action for me from a long previous meeting was nearing the top of my to-do list, when they said, "Jane, you've already written the whole document. You did it in October."

I just said dumbly "Have I?"

Not 10 minutes later I did it again about another document, noted that my drafted process was delayed but I was on it and again they said "You did that one in November."

They peered at me curiously (Teams call) and suggested a little lie down - I haven't been well for a few days and I'm taking antibiotics for the first time in about 13 years, but still!

I managed to pull a muscle just getting out of bed. I do HIIT workouts etc, so just how did I manage that?
