I can remember my Mum’s number too. Memories of buying cottage rolls on a Friday and walking to my Grandmothers house for lunch.

My memory worries me sometimes, but i still remember my mums coop no. As well as then boyfriend, now husbands, first car reg. Useful for all the special passwords we seem to need these days.

I can remember my gran’s number and her phone number when it still had an exchange name. Good idea to use for passwords.

Can still remember my mums too, but never use it but it would be a good password for when it flashs up, your password is not the right one grrrr, I get a lot of that!!

Yes, I remember my Mum's, and like others, use it as a password for some things. I should probably let family know, as when I depart, nobody would even think, or know, of this number.

35630 was my mum's. I can't remember where my keys are, but I can remember that and my NI number off by heart.

I also use my mother's number as a password and the phone number of the second place I worked from the age of 18 as the code for the tiny safe I keep documents in in my wardrobe.
Just against fire you understand not my ill gotten gains.

My Nan's was 104949. Even as a small child, down the Co-op in our part of London, it was easy to remember. I was often sent alone to get odd bits of shopping.

Yes and it can be annoying when I can't even remember where I put my glasses.

Yes, I can remember my Mum's, and took it over when she died. It was a 4 digit number in those days.

This cropped up in a Facebook page I follow. I can remember not only my mum's dividend number, but those of my two best friends' mums too, as we so often went shopping together. I won't actually say what they were because I use them as passwords online sometimes.

Can you remember your mum's divi number? Or maybe it was your Gran's - or even your own!
