Winniefree Jun 2021 12:20pm, 19 Jun 2021 2,123 posts	0 Winniefree Trying to work out how many teams have entered the Barnsley Boundary race and found myself counting A-Z on my fingers…. That would be 26 then…
Silent Runner Jun 2021 12:30pm, 19 Jun 2021 467 posts	0 Silent Runner I walked to the local Co-Op one evening last week to pick up a few things. Got to the entrance and realised I'd forgotten to bring a mask. So I walked back home, collected a mask and returned - only to realise when I got to the checkout that I'd forgotten my wallet. After a second trip back home I finally got my shopping! Lucky it's only a few minutes walk away.
Garfield Jun 2021 2:05pm, 19 Jun 2021 15,754 posts	0 Garfield I've done similar - run to Waitrose, find I have no mask, run home then walk back with mask.

ChrisHB Jun 2021 6:10pm, 19 Jun 2021 21,023 posts	0 ChrisHB I think I'm going to create a thread where we can write our normal achievements, if, that is, we can remember them for long enough. E.g. successfully made a cup of tea and drank it before it got cold.

Lizzie Whizz Jun 2021 6:29pm, 19 Jun 2021 25,167 posts	0 Lizzie Whizz Did I mention leaving the front door open for 5 hours the other week? None of the neighbours rang me or closed it (which is what I do for them).
quimby Jun 2021 6:58pm, 19 Jun 2021 4,819 posts	0 quimby Wide open? I suppose a neighbour could see it, think, oh, she's just popped round the side for something, and not know it'd been open for long. Maybe a good thing that they are not watching so closely...

This morning I went to charge my kindle and instead found myself trying to charge my coffee mug. It was my third coffee of the day as well, clearly not strong enough!

=============

I was just drying my hair after a shower, I switched the hairdryer on and suddenly the bedroom was plunged into darkness, the hairdryer wasn't working either. Great, the electrics have just tripped out.

I find a torch, go to the fuse box but nothing has tripped - turns out I pressed the light switch instead of the hairdryer 'on' button.
