To think I messed up saying this during an interview?

Was asked if I have any questions during the end. I asked a few and then I accidentally said 'I'm just trying to think' meaning I'm just trying to refresh my mind on the questions I had in my head to ask. I feel SO stupid for saying this and think I have ruined any chance I may have had? Do you think this could be the case? Would this put you off if you were the recruiter?

No, not at all! You’re human, totally normal thing to say

It's a perfectly normal thing to say.

I don't think so..... After you've asked a couple of questions already, I don't think it would be taken negatively x

No it’s fine. I’ve trailed off half way through an answer and said “sorry completely forgotten where I was even going with that, fairly certain I had an actual point when I started!”
Still got the job.

Thank you. I think I'm over thinking every little aspect of it. I was worried it came across like I wasn't prepared or wasn't interested in the role but I very much am! I should find out next week. The interviewer said don't worry if I haven't heard by Tuesday as they have one more interview that day. Wednesday should be the latest. Really hoping for good news
