Make me feel better.

I took a photo to upload on an app as needed it for an agency (extra job) . Luckily I noticed the tag at the front as had my jumper on inside out 🤣🙈 It's health care. They'd be signing me up for a carer!

Not me but my mum.. recently applied for a job, sent her CV off only to realise she’d sent her mammogram invitation letter instead. Not surprisingly she didn’t get offered an interview.

This week I managed to send an email to DDs teacher from two years ago instead of her current one. TBF their names start with the same letter so I blamed it on autocorrect but I actually genuinely briefly got them mixed up.

Years ago, I pulled up outside the post office, parked up and went in. When I came out I saw my tyre was going down so I pushed it with my foot, looked up to see the driver and passenger looking strangely at me. I had the wrong car. 😂

Driving along, looking for a specific house that I hadn't been to before. I spotted the house on the other side of the road so I needed to turn round. I was going to do a 3 point turn, but there were a couple of cars behind me, so rather than inconvenience the drivers I decided, in my wisdom, to turn left into the next road, so the drivers behind could carry on along the main road and I would do my 3 point turn in the side road, out of the way.

The car immediately behind me also turned left into the side road behind me so I still didn't want to stop and do a 3 point turn . "Bugger" I thought, but saw another side road coming up on the left, so I turned into that.

Well, guess what? So did the car behind me. I realised this was a dead end road, so I drove to the end, hoping the car behind me would pull into one of the driveways I was passing. But no, it didn't.

I ended up in a cul-de-sac, still with the car behind me and I basically ended up doing my 3 point turn across what turned out to be their driveway, while they sat there looking at me.

How annoying! x

So many times, I've 'lost' my phone when it's been in my hand or my glasses when they're sat on my head 🙄🤦‍♀️ but best one was about 19 years ago, DD was about 2 and on my way to work, I should have dropped her to nursery, but id forgotten...as I reversed into my parking spot at work, who was grinning at me in the rear view mirror!! I swear to god, if I'd just driven in to the spot (not reversed), I don't think I'd have realised...I'd have left her in the underground carpark!! I still shudder at the thought...😬
