: :S I did some shopping and went in to Super**ug to have my eyebrows threaded. I was so happy to be hairless (well not quite!) that I left the shop humming and was waiting to cross the road....when the flustered threadgirl ran after me with.....

my shopping! I was mortified,and wonder how long it takes to be completely senile or is this just an 'episode'...please tell me that others have 'memory lapses'!!

I was going home from Aldi last week, clutching the shopping list that had the flour we needed most at the very top.

Guess what I had forgotten to buy.

All the time BC :-) I go up to the shops and come back without the most needed item, I go upstairs to my bedroom and think "now what have I come up here for?" (get back downstairs and remember!)

I must make more lists!

I couldn't manage without lists - and that's not a new thing. Sometimes I forget what I have to put on the list :S

Went to see the nurse at our GP's surgery last week.
Was on my way out clutching prescription when she said
"Don't forget your handbag"

You have no idea how very reassuring this all is (except Stray...*glares you are far too young dear!) :D

Unless, of course, *looks round thread carefully......you are ALL a crowd of GR nutters :D :D

speaking for myself BC...I have always been a bit 'odd' lolol I blame my mother, we used to have a 'game' of her trying to remember actors names...she would say something like

" He was in that film with the singer, the one who was married to that actor chappie.... you know that one who was Remington Steele"

"Pierce Brosnan?"

" No not him...the one who was in Peyton Place"

"Ryan O'Neal?"

"That's him!" (Ryan O'Neal to RHYME with Remington Steele)

I often get senior moments which I used to find annoying
cause knew I had to remember something important, it
never was important when I did remember. My mother was
a Scottish Hilda Baker (remember her) she used to wonder why
we were always in stitches laughing at her when she was telling
us things, now my grandchildren do the same to me at times, saying
I'm mixing my words. Nonsense.lolx
