I went for lunch at a pub with my DD and DGD in quite a busy shopping area. We parked in the pub car park, had lunch, came out about an hour and a half later to find that we'd left the car keys on the roof of the car!

I shall never forget how I put a paper bag of tomatoes I'd just bought on the roof of my car while I searched my handbag for the car keys. Yep. You guessed it. I checked my rear view mirror as I drove down the road and there was this cascade of tomatoes following me. And no. I didn't go back to pick them up, Oh the shame of it...

I forgot to put the boot lid down on my little hatchback
and drove over 5 miles until I realised it. I thought it felt draughty!

I frequently forget what car I am driving, have tried getting into a big 4 X 4, actually rattling the handle and getting cross because the door wouldn't open.............unfortunately it was the same make and model as Mr.Gravys but not his car ??

#Tanith you made me chuckle, ty

Yesterday I was in a rush before going out. When I got back I opened the fridge for a drink and saw my dish sponge on the shelf, I looked across the room and there .was the butter sat next to the sink! ??

That was soooooo funny tanith#

The classic putting something in the fridge instead of the microwave is often done here!

I was making myself a cup of coffee, got mug and jar of coffee. Put kettle on, opened coffee, found spoon, put lid back on coffee and put jar away. About to pour water into mug but realised there was no coffee in it.

Have done the classic simmered bones to make stock, then drained the lot carefully down the sink, done that twice now ?

I had a fetish tyre the other day and I said to GS I think I better get my tyres checked in case they need replacing, he said Grandma you had all your tyres replaced 2mths ago. I knew that ?

Well, last week, I took little dgd to a 'stay and play' group for the first time. I had to fill out a form with some very basic details. Went again this week and discovered that I had got the most basic of those details wrong - my dgd's name!
To be honest, it was sort of her name, as it was one of the many shortened versions that her official name can have, but not one that any of us ever use. blush

I did something not too dissimilar six years ago, a week or two after my first dgd (but second dgc) was born. Someone asked if it was a girl or a boy, and I heard myself reply 'a boy'! I could only put that down to the fact that, as mother to two sons and no daughters, until that point, the answer to that question had always been 'a boy'.

You know how leeks can get soil between the layers?

I chopped and washed mine, sauteed them in a little butter with a couple of twists of black pepper - this to make leek sauce.

The phone rang and I spent 5 mins talking to a friend.

When I came back to the leek pan I saw all this dirt amongst the leeks. sad
With a huge sigh I washed it all off and started again - only to remember - but too late - it wasn't soil, it was black pepper.

What's your daftest 'forgetful moment'?
