JustCommando! Sep 2022 1:22pm, 16 Sep 2022 4,805 posts	0 JustCommando! Last night GC reminded me that he needed a lift from the garage to work this morning to get new tyres. I was half way round walking the dogs when he remembered, I hadn't remembered either. We then both independently considered that he could drop me at home and take my car to work, picking up the other car on the way home. (Er no, hopefully you all realise quicker than us why!)

Then forgot the details of who I have to call to ask for help. Just now I tried to swipe up on my paper notebook to scroll down to the next page
Corrah Sep 2022 7:59am, 23 Sep 2022 7,624 posts	0 Corrah Took the car to a local garage for its MOT a while ago and ran home. Got back and ran across my drive wondering where the heck my car was. Then the penny dropped!
Mushroom Sep 2022 8:24am, 23 Sep 2022 2,502 posts	0 Mushroom I nipped out in my car at lunchtime from the office the other day. I went to the supermarket for fuel, then parked up to call in the store, then wandered into town for some other things. After shopping, I walked back to the office. It was only after I walked across the office carpark and wondered where my car was that I remembered..

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.
