Whilst reading through the forum this morning, I left my pan of home made broccoli and stilton soup bubbling away  in the kitchen. When I went back it had bubbled over everywhere, no liquid left in it, just a burning smell. I now feel completely stupid because I cannot mange to do even the simplest of tasks. Some days stringing a coherent sentence together is a challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't fret mandss you're not alone on this site, I don't know how many times I've forgotten about a pan on the stove and numerous other incidents,I now just laugh at myself

Did it myself the other day, homemade chicken soup a lovely congealed burnt mess. Easily done!

DH burned a pot of baked beans last week  .  We soaked the pan with washing powder then gently bubbled it on the stove; rinsed out then he put some oven cleaner in it.  Through the dishwasher, job down.

We have a 'doing stupid things' thread ....... you will see you are not alone

Well, I stood on the coffee table today with JUST socks on! 
How stupid was that....? 

[jaypo]

Where was the rest of your clothes? 

[CLKD]

As long as you didn't dance jillydoll !!

I feel stupid when people notice, otherwise ............. 

One can get milk savers, little discs of thick glass that rattle when things start to bubble.  I put my bread under to make lunch then went away to use my new toy  20 mins later DH called 'your toast is ready'  .  I kind of knew that I ought to remember but time flew by .....

I was practicing my moves for when we eventually get to the pub. 🤣😂

See mandsss - U R not alone ;-). We have a doing stupid things thread  and do keep a look out for that strange woman .........

[jaypo]

Omg clkd,that jolted a distant memory,my mum had one of those,we called it a durdle    Don't know if that's Scottish or not.
Awwww Jill,you're not doing your lap dance in the pub again are you? Me and OH have been barred from that pub now

I believe that she bought it from the milk man who delivered in those days, Lakeland used to sell them too.  It doesn't actually stop milk boiling over as I found out several times 

[jaypo]

No,think it's just the noise is supposed to alert you when the milk starts to boil,not much use when you've forgotten about said milk and go outside to do something else 

[CLKD]

You know me so well 

mandass .......... any improvements?

[mandss]

no not really, seem to be getting worse by the day!!!

[jaypo]

Try not to fret mandss,lots of ladies on here feel we're getting dementia or the likes but it really is all symptoms of menopause,nowadays I just shake my head at myself, I do stupid stuff on a daily basis,from forgetting actual words to forgetting why I came into a room
