    Watching a programme I usually record. Tried to fast fowrard through the adverts and remote wouldnt work. Tried new batteries, still nothing, then my husband kindly pointed out that we were watching live tv.

    Thankfully not me, but a guy I worked with got into work and was sat at his desk before he realised is was Sunday morning, not Monday.  He had keys to the building so thought nothing of it still being locked when he arrived.

    Only if trying to put the coffee jar in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard counts.☺️
    The fridge is the best place for the coffee jar, keeps the coffee fresh, unless it’s instant then the best place is the bin  :D

    I did start to pour sugar in the dishwasher instead of salt once. Getting it out again was quite the performance.

    Went to work in odd shoes once, one black one navy with half an inch different in heel height.  I'm not as bad as mum though she's done loads of things.  Hot water bottle in pantry, sauce in the bed.  Sugar basin on the front step, empty milk bottle in the cupboard.  She's been to work in her slippers and once got on the bus, only for the conductor (that shows my age) to ask why she had got two empty milk bottles under her arm, she meant to put them on the front step on the way out. 
    Mind you think my dad was the worst, he left my sister in the pram outside the pub and came home without her.  Suspect that was the beer though, not his memory.

    My OH once took the train to town to do some Christmas shopping, taking a sturdy bag with him.  He got off the train and had started walking round when he thought "This shopping bag is heavy.  I haven't bought anything yet..."   On investigation he found he'd picked up the 2lb jar of marmalade from the kitchen table, instead of his shopping list.  Having come by train, he had to carry it around all day...   :D

    Forgot to pick up my son from school once as I was busy in the garden!
    I knew I was forgetting something,when I realised what it was I had to sling my daughter in the buggy and raced through town in my garden attire!!
    When I got to the school my son said he thought I was dead  :/
