Showed my bus pass to driver and informed him of my bank pin number instead of my destination shock.

I've tried to pay for things with my Tesco Club Card before now - well it is blue, like my debit card!

Doesn't everyone do that, jenn? grin

Went to touch in at the tube station with my bank debit card instead of my Freedom Pass and didn't realise straight away why the barrier wouldn't open. Felt very silly.

Very cheerful OP sun seeker - I empathise

Well, the other night was a bit of a sleepless one for me, Ana, and I was on and off GN, Facebook and eBay, just browsing (unfortunately, not drowsing)! I would have had to have concentrated just a bit, though, to put a bid in. I must have put a maximum bid in, way before the end, then completely forgot about it.

Yesterday I got an email confirming a table for two at a very nice hotel, it was for afternoon tea. I thought DH was being very romantic, turns out they got the wrong Mr and Mrs harri we were next on the list on their data base. Just as well DH queried it because the message also said " if you do not turn up at the appointed time we will charge you ten pounds per person " cheeky.

[whispers] I've received parcels, particularly books, that I'd forgotten I'd ordered.....and fibbed to DH to try and cover my purchases.

DF sneaks presents in to her house thinking her DH won't know but he's told me he knows where her stash is hidden grin

Actually, that's a bit worrying Marelli! Perhaps you're eBaying in your sleep...shock

loopylou Sat 23-May-15 17:41:09

That's a good excuse Marelli
Not sure my DH would swallow it grin

I received an emailed invoice for a rather nice bag on eBay the day. For the life of me, I cannot remember putting a bid in for it...... confused!

Drove all the way to the supermarket the other day, rooted in my handbag for shopping list and discovered no purse!Had changed handbags and left the purse on the hall table.
About a month ago, did the shopping, came home and discovered the shopping list I had used was an old one still in my handbag from about a month previously.DOH!The new one was in there as well of course.

I spent a while looking for my car in a car park the other week, only to remember that I had changed it about two months ago blush

sunseeker almost snap. I was trying with great difficulty to get into somebody else's car in a covered car park yesterday. The only match was the car colour! Thankfully nobody saw me. My own car was a fair distance away- it was not next door. I also should not be allowed out.

Years ago I was called to get into the house of a comatose relative as I had the key , I was so uptight that I kept trying the wrong key and decided that the said person had put the snib on ! OH gallantly climbed a ladder and got in the bathroom window , person was revived and comforted and we went home where I hysterically tried to open our door with the key I should have used earlier ............... it was me needed revived and comforted then ................... and I could swear I was an intelligent younger person then , goodness knows about now !

Just tried to lock the garage with my front door key and open the front door with my car key - I'm beginning to think I'm not safe to be out on my own!!
