ChrisHB Dec 2024 9:26am, 16 Dec 2024 23,308 posts	Quote Pin ChrisHB two nights running I've turned my wife's electric blanket on and omitted to do mine. There is a reason I always do hers first!
cackleberry Dec 2024 6:26pm, 17 Dec 2024 4,337 posts	Quote Pin cackleberry Got home from work. Got out of car, picked up dog lead and bags. Locked the car. Walked into house. Realise I've left the dog in the car!! She has come to work with me pretty much every single day for the last two years, I have never forgotten her before 😔 Of course, she set the motion alarm off too, which I don't think she liked much. Poor baby.

Eynsham the Red Knows Rain Dear Dec 2024 6:30pm, 24 Dec 2024 11,649 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham the Red Knows Rain Dear My wife told me when I arrived home that she’s prepared the carols and parsnips for tomorrow. It could be a musical lunch even without sprouts!
um 3 Jan 9:46am, 3 Jan 2025 9,178 posts	Quote Pin um Have been calling the local GP surgery since the online prescription order page says I need to arrange a review. No response from the 8-10 call yesterday. Still no response today. Then I found I had transposed 2 numbers and had been calling the wrong number all the time by just using the repeat dial on the phone. All sorted within 2 mins when I used the right number!

Little Nell 3 Jan 10:29am, 3 Jan 2025 171 posts	Quote Pin Little Nell I've just made a cup of tea... was walking across the kitchen to put the teabag in the food recycling caddy (all of about 10 steps) and thinking about something left on the side that needed to be refrigerated - so, of course, put the used teabag in the fridge.

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.
