Hi all, since becoming peri I have noticed that I can be talking about something and all of a sudden something completely random pops out of my mouth!! Yesterday in the middle of a very quiet staff room I was going to say that I couldn't believe that it is July next week but out came ' I can't believe it's going to be September next week' to which everyone turned to look at me as if I were mad lol. I am always coming out with something silly, keep blaming meno but could be just old age setting in lol. Does anyone else on here have this problem or something similar?

[Ju Ju]

Yes and I lose words, sometimes stopping mid sentence searching for alternative words. Very embarrassing. The word comes back to me when it no longer matters!

[Scampi]

It's something I've suffered from since I had ME 20-odd years ago - it rears it's head when I'm tired or under the weather.  Very frustrating, and makes you feel a real fool.

[Joyce]

Oh yes, me too. I can have something in my head, thought out fairly intelligently, but by the time it comes to the spoken word, well....... Words get muddled, say about 8 words when 2 would have done. I come across as some thick old wifie!  Old maybe, but not as thick as I sound.

[ellie]

Yes, know the feeling too.....I say things to DH like..' Can you just get me the  thingy from the kitchen etc:
Mmmm thingy is a very useful word   

[Ju Ju]

It's not just a female thing! Husband has just said, " I've pinged your hingy!" Before you get too excited, I'll translate. ' The washing machine has finished the washing program and to stop it making that irritating noise, I have switched it off.' 

[Aethelede]

Ju Ju, I liked your husband's version better! 

[Sweetlittlemaiden]

So glad to hear that I'm not the only one that has this problem lol. This menopause thing has a lot to answer for... Although it can be useful sometimes too when I am having a blonde moment lol

[CLKD]

We have lots of 'blond' or 'senior' moment topics on here ........ 

[Joyce]

Hubby just had one of those moments. Asked if I was making a Chicken Tikka thingy for tea. Indeed I was & very nice it was too, for a thingy. 

[CLKD]

  ...... any thingy left over?

<hands plate in your direction>

We have lots of widgets and thingies in this house and as for that thing that changes over the TV channels, it doesn't work the phone tha' knows  even when held to my ear ......... 

[mazzy]

In my house the word is oogiboo, it applies to a lot of things.  To my grown up childrens annoyance I have problems with their names too. 

[Joyce]

Thingy all gobbled up CLKD. 

As for remote control. Son, who was jet lagged, tried to answer phone with TV remote. Duh!

[Milamam]

I had to call today to the cell phone provider to increase my calls limit, and when asked, I don't know why I said my maiden name rather than my current    Been married for 13 years now, should remember what my name is........

[Greyhoundgal]

Happens all the time   Sometimes I just give in and describe it instead - "can you get the butter out of the big white cold thing in the kitchen"
