Eggs! Why oh why do I have a blind spot in my brain for those... ? I walk in, get immediately distracted by tempting offers, amble around marvelling at all the wonders available, end up spending too much and realise half way home that I've forgotten them - the reason I went in - again.

Must learn self discipline and stick to a written list.

So, milk, rice, cinnamon. DH cooks with them, not me. He doesn't put them on the list, so they don't get bought....

Yes, herbs. Always a list in my head, never remember to grab any. Maybe it's because the bottles are so small Confused

GeminiJen · 15/02/2022 20:25

Nowadays, I always have a list, so nothing gets forgotten....provided it made it on to the list, of course Wink
Many years ago, I forgot my daughter. She was in her pram outside the butcher's. This was in a village where everyone knew each other and looked out for each other so I was soon alerted to my maternal amnesia...and never allowed to forget it Blush
