I met an old neighbour from the house before last and she asked me where I had moved to. I gave her the right house number but the wrong street. As soon as it was out of my mouth I knew I had got it wrong, but for the life of me I could not bring myself to correct the mistake.  ::)

What a diddy

  ;D ;D I did that once honeyb,
I can remember when I'd met an old neighbour...trying to remember the name of the avenue, but I just couldn't remember for the life of me!
I think she thought I didn't want her to know, but it wasn't that honestly!
Actually I was quite grateful for my brief memory loss that time because [I never really liked her] ;)

This made me giggle so here is mine

Mine was a trip to Sainsbury and I was off of the planet with my hormones. It was before a Christmas and I had collected a load of wine (organic of course and enough to lubricate a small army - seemed logical at the time). I went to get a TV Times from the magazine section as I had just got a TV - having separated from my partner and having been told by my Mother "Get a life and get a television". I walked away without a TV Times as they had sold out (I was getting more grumpy) and people started to look at me. I was feeling irritable that they should think it ok to look at me when all I was doing was stocking up for Christmas so I LOOKED back. A few moments (probably quite a long time)  later past the veg and moving towards the dairy products I looked down at my trolley. It was a different size, much bigger,  and full of the bundles of magazines for stocking up the shelves.

So I went back to the magazines, smiling nicely at all the people who I had been rude to, rolling my eyes and tutting innocently to show how silly I was. Picked up my smaller trolley full of wine and carried on my way. No longer a nutter just an alcoholic! 

I then went to the Dr who put me on hormones to reboot my system. Perhaps they should be called normones?

I love these - I could go on forever about mine and it is quite therapeutic so I will on and off!!

Another was when I couldn't remember my sisters name. Word finding difficulties are tremendous. In meetings now it has become a game - guess the word I am trying to think of. I have quite a big vocab when my brain is working properly

To help myself I am going to design an adult clip to keep my hat and gloves safely attached to my coat so I do not lose them. I have lost three hats this year. I wish I could lose some others but it is always the nice ones. I just put them down and walk off!

Does anyone ever discover old pants down their trouser legs? Is it only me?

To anyone who is reading this who is new to the world of changing hormones - yesterday I could not have found this funny. Things can get better.

Oh yes the pants down the trouser leg, I went out like that once, they were dangling out of my jeans at the ankles, OMG,  thankfully my then hubby noticed them before anyone else did. ;D Of course it gave him a good laugh.  Oh yeah I was only about 24 then too.  :D

I once told a lady who was out shopping about the sock that was peeping out underneath her trousers! She was so grateful.

A colleague of mine (similar age) told me that she shopping in a store with her husband and unaware he had wandered off, said to the man next to her "I need to go home for a poo soon" Then she looked up and saw it was a complete stranger  ;D

This is my favourite chain so far. I was smiling over tea about the stream of funnies.

Another of my favourites was getting an invite to an end of year review. The review was to celebrate our achievements and was to be held in London. When I looked at the address it was Buckingham Palace!!!! I was soo excited. I thought hard about it and said that really I felt my line manager should go.

I told the consultant who was supporting me with my work and he replied "I think you will find it is Buckingham Place room in a building not of that name"

I enjoyed the mistake!
