Mutrix Farmers Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I have decided that my memory brain cells have relocated to my bottom. I have evidence for this. I will be sitting in the lounge and will think of something that I need from the utility room. A few seconds later, I am standing in the utility room with a blank expression on my face. A couple of minutes later, I admit defeat and head back to the lounge. As soon as my bottom hits the sofa, I remember what it is that I went in for! Sounds like me!! I left the TV on in the front room on Saturday (I had turned it on while I was putting up the Xmas tree), turned out the light as I left the room and went into the Kitchen to make tea, then shouted at Son (who had been upstairs all afternoon) why had he left the TV on if he wasn't watching it!

bluekarin Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 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 Same here! I have done this so many times Or, if I go shopping without a list but there is something essential I need to buy (milk, cat food, loo roll, coffee) I can be guaranteed not to buy it and only remember when my keys go in the front door And as for the walking into a room and completely forgetting why I went in there . . . . . I am only 37 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I spent a panic stricken 10 minutes last week, staring at my Dyson Vacuum cleaner because I couldn't remember how the heck to remove the cylinder for emptying. I've only had it for 7 years. Very scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fowlbird Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 I once left early to pick up Granddaughter and thought I'd do Waitrose before collecting her from piano class... It wouldn't have been so bad but I was merrily chatting away to her and only realised I'd forgotten to pick her up when she didn't reply after about 5 minutes and that was years ago...
