  • Seriously, can anyone tell me where to get those keys?  Can't whistle, tho'

    These moments definitely don't have to be senior.  I was in my twenties when I boarded a bus and asked the driver for '20 Embassy Regal please'image. It had been a long day at work.

    My niece left her flat in a hurry one morning and grabbed the bag she had ready for the bin which she promptly threw away.  Only when she got to work did she realise she had thrown away her sandwiches and had taken potato peelings for lunchimage

    I have turned up for work either an hour early or an hour late when the clocks change, would love to say i wont do that again, but we all know i will! image
  • My other half once posted his credit card into the parking machine, instead of the parking ticket..... We had to press the help button to get a nice gentleman to open up the machine and give it back to us... He was very kind, and said that in fact we were not the only people to have done that! A few weeks later at the same machine we paid for our parking but left the parking ticket poking out of the slot instead of taking it out of the machine again. We didn't notice our mistake until we were at the barrier in our car with no ticket...We had to press the button there and talk to the nice gentleman again..... Ahem...

    I actually forgot the first line of my address yesterday, only for a moment, but that was scary! image

    Hi, I find that I have to remove the keys from my car ignition to remove shopping etc as my car locks itself, even if the keys are in the ignition. Even when putting fuel in as well... my point is that many clothes do not have pockets which makes keeping keys safe and accessible difficult when you have your hands full... any suggestions? I am always loosing my pruners in the garden too I dont know where they go as I have had to replace so many and never found the ones I lost.. does anyone know where they could have gone??

    I was having a lovely snooze one weekend when the phone rang and it was a friend from work who I had seen the previous night wondering where I was.  'In bed' I said. Then she told me it was Fridayimage  That was the day I was an hour late for workimage

    Sterelitza - I've got your secateurs...do you have mine?image That's a bit of  a design problem with your car image

    Lesley - at least your niece had something she could eat for her lunch image  

    I often dream that I'm late for something and it leads to all sorts of ridiculous scenarios as dreams often do. Usually when I have somewhere important to go the next day. Not often work then...

    My youngest daughter once said to me when we returned to the house  'Mum, where's the car?'  Yes - we were returning in the car......image 

    She's only 16...must get it from her father...image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Maybe the pruners heaven does exist after all?
