Going bonkers - or even bonkers-er

minxie, you are not alone. All too often I find I am trying to insert my door key into the car's ignition. One day, I might get myself a key-less car.

Love it!

I can remember my old nan when baby sitting me and my siblings making a visitor a cup of coffee with bisto gravy powder hot milk and sugar. It must have tasted vile! However, it did get drunk!

I gave up years ago. Now I just count my marbles into a bag at night to keep them safe. I seem to have far less than there were but I am left with the most colourful ones...well suited to the older lady that I have become

What lovely stories ....great laugh! I have done some silly things, if only I could remember them ?

These are very funny - and reassuring. I have been known to lift the lid of the loo instead of the lid of the linen basket in the bathroom and throw my pants in!

I've just remembered that I visited a 92 year old neighbour to help her out as she was struggling with every day's tasks. As I was making her some tea, she said 'did you know you have your jumper on inside out?' Who needs help here?

A couple of weeks ago a cash machine refused my request for some cash and ejected my card -then I realised I had used my loyalty card from a well known coffee chain.. Both cards red. That’s my excuse! Oh dear!

Can somebody tell me where I have put the handbag I had at Christmas ?

Harriett.....Probably with the left over rolls of wrapping paper etc that you put away, ready for next year.

Left work an hour ago, drove up to the junction, as I do every single day, and turned left instead of right!
Where on earth did I think I was going? I NEVER turn left!

I couldn't find my car keys one afternoon, after leaving work....I searched my bag, pockets, the office, the toilets, kitchen, everywhere. I rang my husband, got him to bring the spare keys (he had a 6 mile drive in rush hour), and I drove home....and found my keys down my bra

My friend told me about a friend of hers who had quite an
Important job. She was very short sighted. She broke her only pair of glasses beyond repair. So she wore her prescription swimming goggles to work for a few days !!!

Thanks for a genuine laugh.I noticed a few teachers stressed to the eyeballs which reders your mind in capable of reasoned thought.
A tip I have taken up recently- got a handbag with a dog clip on a ribbon attached inside on which to attach a door/car keys. I shall do this with every bag instead of arriving home with no way to get in.

Just after a nap, I once caught myself trying to make a phone call by pressing the buttons on the tv remote control!

Oh my! I've done a few of these myself but I really cannot stop laughing! Brilliant!

I thought the lock on my car must have broken as I couldn't get the key to turn. Tried taking key out and putting it back in but lock still wouldn't budge. Noticed a trilby hat on the back seat and wondered who on earth had left that there... didn't know anybody with a trilby. Yep, you guessed, I was trying to break into somebody else's car! (That was about 30 years ago... imagine what I'm like now )

I’ve done that more than once Joy, I think all cars look the same these days, especially black ones!

Sara glad I'm not the only one!

Thank you everyone for these hilarious posts, just read them late evening,I will be laughing all the way to bed,and all night I should think.

Thank you for these, I can't stop laughing - what a tonic! I too have done similar things.

Me too Joy. About 40 years ago,I had been shopping with my young sons &could not get into our car. Desperately trying & getting hot & bothered. Children calling “Mum ! Mum”.
Me “Not now boys”.
Boys. “ Mum, that’s not our car!”
We still have a good laugh about that now .

Getting ready for work one morning, I gazed into the mirror in disbelief as I saw my hair turning white as I applied hairspray. Then I realized that I was using deodorant!

There was another morning when I grabbed a quick breakfast, put some washing on then rushed off to DS1's house to mind the DGC.
An hour later, DH phoned me to ask why the detergent was in the fridge and wanting to know where I had put the milk.

I've given a one-to-one lesson at my kitchen table then discovered afterwards that I had a clothes peg stuck on my blouse, and numerous other lessons with various items of clothing inside-out.

I got into the back of my car to comfort crying baby, to realise with horror that the child locks were on
There really can’t have been anything less dignified than me trying to climb over into the front seat!

for bus pass or cats claw clippers.or my memory stick .i knew i put it there ,but its NOT there..must be getting old.

Very very funny ,I do wonder how we cope sometimes!
