Mel (& Paul) Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well its ok. Cos I like milk chocolate. Milk chocolate = milk = calcium = strong bones And I do like dark chocolate which is good for your heart And if you have an orange cream or two it counts towards your five a day. Wash it down with a glass of wine (more fruit) and you are laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Glad it's not just me or my age Thought I would look something up on Google......by the time I had located my laptop, switched it on, loaded Google.....I had completely forgotten what I had wanted to look up The minute I switched off the computer, I remembered what I wanted to look up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fowlbird Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 apparently the efficient way to do things is to make lots of lists but what if your memory fails when you're writing the lists and how on earth does one remember where the lists are?

Mel (& Paul) Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 my boss put a knot in his tie at work and told me he was doing it so that he would remember something at home. once he got home he rang me and asked me why he had a knot in his tie.......... I couldnt remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygal Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Many's a time I've diligently copied the shopping list off the lovely slate blackboard for such purposes in the kitchen onto the back of a cornflake packet and then forgotten to take said cornflake packet to supermarket, then have to phone hubbie at work- pretend to PA that said phone call is important and then ask him to remember what's been written on blackboard all week (and I'm in my 30s) Oh and on one occasion went through checkout to discover had no way of paying as purse was by computer at home!! Luckily my local supermarket know me Why do you think I have the user name I have??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I am in fits, and my DS is standing in the kitchen making a chocolate brownie mug cake (which I remembered to print off, but had forgotten I'd already done so until I found the original copy!!! ) and keeps wanting updates as to what I'm laughing at! I thought I was suffering on my own with my lack of memory, I'm so glad to be in such good company!! Slightly worrying at 37, but I'm sure I'll grow into it, I always have been "old before my time" with "an old head on young shoulders!" One day my shoulders will catch up...
