That I'm prepared to admit.
In Lidl. Saw a small box of locknuts. Remember I've had to hunt for one occasionally. Know just where to put them. Buy a box. Put them away - on top of an identical unused box.
I've done it before. It's hard to paint behind summerhouse so I used a small roller extending the handle with a bit of spare wood. Saw one in the poundshop and got it for next time. Stored it. On top of three identical ones.
Wanted a small roller. Hunted high and low and couldn't find one. They don't sell them in pound shops any more. Got one for £2.50 in Wilko.
I'm collecting Bleach and Jif..
I put the washing machine on this morning without putting in any detergent. :cool:
Cheapskate .. There's cutting back and cutting back..
As I was going out again after yesterday morning (appointment in the afternoon) I didn't put the car away. If I looked out the window and wondered 'who's that?) once........
:grin: :grin: :grin: I've done that Michael..
I've thought 'who's car is that'..
You two ! I've never been that bad :grin:
congratulations! :upvote: :upvote: :upvote:
Thanks Mike, but if you had a banger like mine, you'd recognise it too :grin:
:grin: :grin: :grin:
I went to hang out a wash load the other day, and although I had put detergent and softener in, I hadn't switched the machine on.

Sounds like something Angela Rayner would say.
I was comparing stories with my neighbour and she told me that she lost her breakfast bowl and called her OH to help her find it. Quite a while later she found it in the microwave with porridge in it.
These aren't signs of senility, just old age creeping on.
True I guess. Just getting distracted and forgetting the trivial. Not just old age either.
Besides I expect lots of people find their dusters in a draw in the freezer.
We've gone over to micro fibre cloths.
Ah yes. You can keep those in the fridge as they don't need freezing.
Which one is the fridge?
Open all the doors in the kitchen. The fridge is where you'll find the micro fibre cloths. They won't be in the oven as that discolours them.
Now I am confused, there were micro fibre cloths in all of them, and now I can't find my watch.
I stopped wearing watches. I wear a calendar instead.
:grin: :grin: :grin:
well, it's easier than lugging a sundial around!
:grin: :grin: :grin:
I am at the hereafter stage when I go in the bedroom or computer room and stand there saying to myself "What the hell have I come in here after.?"
I go back in the lounge and suddenly remember what it was I wanted.
The time to worry is when this happens. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
You and your teeth don't sleep together.
You try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren't wearing any.
At the breakfast table, you hear snap, crackle, pop and you're not eating cereal.
Your back goes out but you stay home.
You wake up looking like your
driver's license photo.
It takes two tries to get up from the couch.
When your idea of a night out is
sitting on the patio.
When happy hour is a nap.
When you're on vacation and your energy
runs out before your money does.
When you say something to your kids that your mother said to you and you always hated it.
When all you want for your birthday
is to not be reminded of your age.
When you step off the curb and look down one more time to make sure the street is still there.
Your idea of weight lifting is standing up.
It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.
Your memory is shorter and
your complaining lasts longer.
Your address book has mostly
names that start with Dr.
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
The pharmacist has become your new best friend.
Getting "lucky" means you found your car
in the parking lot.
The twinkle in your eye is merely a reflection from the sun on your bifocals.
It takes twice as long - to look half as good.
Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt,
doesn't work.
You look for your glasses for half an hour and they were on your head the whole time.
You sink your teeth into a steak -
and they stay there.
You give up all your bad habits and
still don't feel good.
You have more patience, but it is actually
that you just don't care anymore.
You finally get your head together and
your body starts falling apart.
You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't even remember being on top of it.
:grin: :grin: :grin:
All of the above but the good news is I found my watch, in the butter dish where it should be.
:grin: :grin: :grin:
Lol, :upvote: :grin:
