FFS just poured coffee into my porridge.

[KingKhazi]

So tired. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis in my hips. Not slept well for a few days. Was woken at 3am by my mum ringing me (has dementia).
I've just made a coffee and about to put porridge in microwave (the oat sachet type). Except I've somehow picked up my coffee and poured it into the porridge!!
I used the last of my milk for porridge.. now i have no coffee and no porridge.

What have you managed to do whilst tired?

Put the crumpets in the dishwasher for a full cycle!!

I have days like this and just think I need to go back to bed and start again - I can't actually go back to bed but you know what I mean 😂

I poured orange juice on my cereal once. A waste of good juice and good cereal!

Put the kettle in the fridge and the milk where kettle goes🥴

Took the washing out of the tumble drier and put it back into the washing machine,

So did you try the coffee flavoured porridge? You may have just stumbled on a new fabulous breakfast combo!

I have just poured water into my porridge container instead of in to the pan. Annoying.

@KingKhazi I'd have tried it to see if I liked it!

i can't think of anything specific, I try to put things behind me!! But I often do stupid crap like that.

@InterestingUsernameTBC oh no and infinite cycle!

Dog food pouch contents in his (full) water bowl instead of his food bowl.

Egg in the food waste caddy and the shell in the mixing bowl.

Got milk etc out of the fridge, started to make breakfast, put the milk away before I’d even used it.

Some days it’s best just to stay in bed. 😄

I have done exactly the same as you when DD was a non-sleeping baby.

I have also once poured boiling water into my cupped hand instead of my mug.

I'm always getting something out the fridge and replacing it with my phone.

I'd try the coffee flavoured porridge. It's definitely got potential.

I hope you get some rest later today.

I’m actually purposefully having overnight oats with espresso in, like a tiramisu flavour breakfast. Try it!

Putting my reading glasses in the dishwasher. That was fun... not.

Oh yes! Not necessarily when tired but if I’m distracted I put things in odd places / put things on stuff.

I have emptied the new bag off coffee into the cafetiere. Not too disastrous.

I've poured hot water into the opened bag of coffee. More disastrous.

I put DS 20 months in the bath last week and only noticed as I was washing him that he still had socks on !

It’s okay, I served soup straight down the plug hole yesterday🥲

Seived.. not served! Bloody stupid autocorrect!!

Call it an extra oat milk latte and give it a go?

Day 1: Opened bag of watercress, took some out for my egg sandwich, got clip out of drawer, clipped bag shut, ready to put bag back in fridge.

Day 2: Looked in fridge for bag of watercress to use it up (very short life). Nowhere. Interrogated other residents of our house to double check they hadn't used it up (I knew this couldn't have happened, they don't eat it and are physically incapable of seeing things they don't eat). Checked fridge again. Baffled. Checked bin. Had not thrown it away by mistake.

Hours passed. I opened the drawer where I keep the clips. Yes, you've guessed it. One bag of watercress, now starting to rot.

I was actually listening to David James (ex England goal keeper) talking about the fact that he often puts coffee on his cereal as it's quicker. He also uses water instead of milk.

Can you sieve your coffee out of the oats?

If you have any chocolate or cocoa powder mix it in for mocha porridge? Flavoured overnight oats are popular, might be nice?
