went to the fridge to get some milk as I fancied a cup of tea before bed, went for a top up shopping today so I knew 100% I needed milk and buys it. Goes to the fridge no milk.

Well I ironed mine and DC uniforms ready for tomorrow and goes to the freezer to get some ice for a glass of squash and there is my milk.

Well I found my keys in the fridge today, so tabby. Maybe a little crazy. Grin

I do stuff like that. Milk in the dishwasher, cereal in the fridge...I can't say baby brain as youngest is 9 so will blame it on living with a teenager.

better than trying to put the hot kettle in the fridge on glass shelves... thankfully I came to my senses before I had to pick glass out of the grapes!

For some reason I always want to put the butter into the bin instead of back in the fridge when I've used it. I've no idea why but it happens every time and on a couple of occasions I've actually done it then wondered later where the hell the butter is Hmm

It's really annoying.

I have found bread in the cleaning cupboard and other things in bazar places.

My lovely DH is a little random in his putting away process. We've had frozen cucumber and ice cream in the fridge.

He's a brilliant man really.

I realised just before I called a tube worker over that I was trying to get through the barriers using my work id instead of my oyster card the other day.

DB once put his jeans in the fridge. Beautifully folded and everything.

flora717 · 28/04/2015 08:13

Cornflakes in the fridge. Tins on top of the freezer and ham in the breadbin. I was very distracted yesterday!

flanjabelle · 28/04/2015 08:15

I have thrown away four potato peelers with the peelings. It's not even funny anymore, they aren't cheap ones either!!

Twirlwirlywoo · 28/04/2015 08:26

I once put milk in the airing cupboard and a folded towel in the fridge!

The milk was rank by the time I discovered it. The clue was in the towel - neatly folded on the fridge shelf next to the cheese!

Bonkers here too!

I once put my shoes in the fridge. I was heavily pregnant at the time and I suspect I went to the fridge to get a drink but no, I took my shoes off and popped them on the shelf.

Took me ages to find them because that's not really the first place that you might think shoes could be. Blush

I've put frozennaunt Bessie's Yorkshires in the cupboard (mouldy by the time they were discovered) and the electric kettle on the hot stove. I've never even owned a stove top kettle.Confused

Both sleep deprivation related, during teething.

I bought a lovely scented candle in a glass container some time ago and was very puzzled when I couldn't find it.

Not as puzzled as my husband who asked me why there was a candle in the fridge.

Icimoi · 28/04/2015 11:16

Actually, Hemlock, you could have brazened that one out. I've read that keeping candles in the fridge means they last longer when you light them.

A friend of mine put her brand new manolos on a baking tray and put them in the oven instead of a chicken once. They were utterly destroyed. She was devastated, we all laughed which was cruel but how can you confuse shoes for a chicken??

BrianButterfield · 28/04/2015 13:59

I've found no end of things lurking in the bottom of my pushchair basket, well beyond edibility. It holds a lot!

Many moons ago, in my first teaching job, I ran a dance club.

One day I went to get the tape I was using from my bag and discovered a pair of pants and a bra.......

When I got home I found the tape in the laundry basket.

HemlockStarglimmer · 29/04/2015 16:07

Icimoi That might have worked if I hadn't mentioned several times that I couldn't find the blimmin' thing Grin

MagelanicClouds · 29/04/2015 17:08

DH had a patch of leaving DS bowls in the fridge - and a couple of bibs.
My best sleep deprivation thing?
Was when I was a student. Had bern out the night before - a rarity for me as I wasn't much of a party animal. Got up for lectures, poured OJ on my cornflakes and not in the glass. Took a bite, realised and poured the OJ off. Then I poured on the milk.
Boak.

Found my glasses in the bath the other day. I never use that bathroom, I never bath (I shower). I can't see without said glasses, I get into bed with them on and then remove them. To say I am a little concerned may be an understatement!

gaggiagirl · 29/04/2015 17:26

I once put a dirty pampers nappy in the washing machine and put the sleep suit in the nappy bag in the bin. So a lost sleep suit and a clean load of washing covered in funny fluff and crystals.
Recently I am apparently determined to put rubbish in the toilet and not the bin.
