    An acquaintance of mine thinks he's losing the plot.  He has his own landscaping business and in the past couple of weeks has managed to give a customer the wrong account details to pay by bank transfer.  He doesn't know how as he read the details off his card and is now out by £1500 unless the person into whose account it was paid agrees to pay it back (apparently he is under no obligation so to do).

    He also bought a pallet load of paving blocks and didn't realise until he started to take them off the lorry that he'd bought the wrong ones.  He can't take them back because the packaging had been removed.  He's going to use them to re-do his own drive now!

    Frank, the going upstairs and forgetting what for is a regular one here. Reasoning is you pay so much attention to the steps and not tripping ( which you should be able to do on auto pilot ) that when at the top you've lost focus. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it image

  • Oh I so know what you mean...but my friends, there is help at hand. My brother told me about fobs you can get to fix onto items such as keys etc that if you lose them you can ring from your mobile and they send out a beeping tone. I'm wondering if they can also be fixed to the shoes of my small grandchildren for when I look after them!

    Try searching for Lost Key Finder Locator and some should come up.

  • Why is it a "senior moment"?

    Yes, I've done them allimageDriven off with my handbag on the top of the car; driven off with one child safely strapped in and left the other one standing at the kerb (just for seconds, I spotted her in the rear mirror looking bemused)  These incidents occurred years and years ago and I've continued to add to them.  However, the other day it was OH's turn.  He went out for a cycle, leaving the garage door open, the connecting door open, the front door open and his keys on the outside of it!   His face was a picture when I told him and he rummaged in his pockets for the keys as if I was kidding him.
