To ask if you ever do something

[ivfbabymomma1]

.... that's so stupid without thinking & then your like why the f**k did I just do that?

I just made a cup of juice for my DS, and without putting the lid on chucked it in the bottom of the pram?! Why!!! What was I thinking?

When I was a new born, I was in my pram in the hall. I woke up and made a noise causing my mum to jump violently. She had forgotten that she given birth.

I once had a total panic when out with baby mindee. Couldn't find him anywhere. He was on my hip 😂

I once bought a pack of paracetamol with my shopping. Later, I was looking for them but couldn’t find them. Eventually I found them sat in pride of place on an otherwise empty shelf in the fridge. I took some and that was the end of it, until later on when I went to make a brew and opened the fridge to find the paracetamol sat in exactly the same place on the shelf in the fridge I have no recollection of putting them there either time!

I once locked the front door and then posted my keys through the letterbox. I had been watering my neighbour’s plants and had posted their keys back the night before. Ds thought it was hilarious!

Went to a relatives house to pick up an item while they were in work. Couldn't open the door, tried for ages, thought I was using the wrong key. It was the wrong house😯

I opened the washing machine.
It had broken and was full of water which started pouring onto the kitchen floor.
I was yelling and jabbing randomly at buttons, trying to make it stop.
Until DH calmly said “shut the door?”
I don’t know what I was hoping for. That I would happen to find the special ‘stop pouring water on the floor’ button?

I have been laughing out loud - brilliant stuff.

Woke up one morning opened my eyes, couldn't see a thing, mad panic. Tried again, closed eyes, opened them still nothing. It was only when I turned over that I realised that I'd rolled over and had my nose right up against the wall.

I pumped about 90ml of breastmilk then poured it down the sink instead of into a bottle. It had taken about 30 minutes to get that much. I cried.

Poured my lovely bone broth down the sink and stood looking at the bones remaining in the colander

Oh I've done that countless times after making stock.

I got the orange juice out at breakfast and just stopped myself pouring it into my coffee. I did once pour OJ onto cereal.

Some of these are brilliant.
I've been known to chuck my soluble paracetamol into a cup of tea instead of the glass of water.

@minionsrule the paracetamol would probably still work in tea!
I tried to pay in Co Op with my bus pass. I got quite annoyed before I realised.

Dropped the food processor blade. Caught the food processor blade.

Reminds me of when I was in hospital after having ds last year.

I was fast asleep (at night) and a baby started crying. The crying continued on and on and I was thinking to myself "why isnt the mother getting up to feed him". Then I realised it was MY baby crying beside me.

@keeprocking

OJ or AJ are nice on cereal!

I put bleach in the washing machine tray and then extra bleach in the washing machine (I thought it would clean the system). I must have put too much bleach because there was loads of foam and bubbles leaking out of the machine. Good thing DH was at home to come to my rescue.😁

On my way to bed late last night, I boiled the kettle for a hot water bottle and just stopped myself from pouring milk into the bottle.
Mentally congratulating myself, I then poured the kettle of boiling water down the sink.
Definitely time to give up on the day and head straight to bed.

Took a swig out of the jar of olives in brine,thinking it was my glass of coke.

Cooking lesson at school and I rushed in the morning to get 2 eggs from the fridge, got to school and they were hard boiled
Also making gravy, tipped all my veg water straight down the sink then just couldn't understand where it had gone. I did it with about five different pans!

Unlocked my car in the supermarket car park while walking towards it. Spent some time trying to open the door. Realised I was trying to get into the one next to mine.

I remember doing that once!

I was about to leave a gift shop whilst on holiday once and suddenly couldn't find my purse. I started to panic thinking I'd lost everything when I realised it was tucked under my arm

I made burgers once, pulsed the mince and onions etc in the blender. Then put my hand in and grabbed a handful of the mixture. Didnt bother to take the blade out first though and sliced my fingers open.

On holiday earlier this year I turned the wrong hob on, accidentally turning on the one I'd put the grill pan on. Picked up the grill pan not realising it was hot. It took a few seconds before my brain registered. Spent 4.5 hours in A&E and was told the burns were so bad I might need plastic surgery . I didn't but they were bandaged and pretty useless for a few weeks.

I quite often seem to think that sticking my finger into whatever I'm cooking is the most sensible way to check its hot in the middle

I've been known to put frozen pizzas in the oven upside down. The worst.

I left a tea towel on the top of the cooker and turned on the wrong hob. Popped outside to finished my gardening leaving my potatoes to boil. Except I'd turned on the wrong hob, set the tea towel on fire, spreading to the strap of my expensive new camera and then the main body. Finally realised there was acrid smoke, ran in and chucked the melting camera out of the back door, permanently damaging some of my kitchen flooring in the process.

Since then, I am meticulous about not leaving anything vaguely near the hob. Luckily for me, the accidental damage insurance I'd taken out very kindly replaced my camera and found my story of how I set it on fire a lot more funny than I did. Yikes, can't believe how stupid I was.
