Alis girls Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 We've had menopause cakes, periods and other delights - does anyone else have "dippy" moments. I lost my mobile at the weekend and eventually found it in a tupperware I'd washed and put away in cupboard the whole family is keeping an eye on the cats in case they end up in the microwave or fridge. Please tell me I'm not alone in being dippy doo da. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickinboy Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 My mum had several classic moments - she froze all our rubbish and threw away the weekly shopping....and once she climbed on a chair to put my dad's dinner in the top junk cupboard instead of putting it in the microwave as per the note she had left for him (took him hours to find it)...she calls them CRAFT moments - "can't remember a flippin' thing"!

docsquid Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Not on the same scale, but I put the cereal in the fridge yesterday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Won't admit to any changes, but I did this on Sun. On my way out to walk 15 mins to work, I stopped to put something in the car. Halfway to town, did a double take; agh, what am I doing in the car, driving into town! I never take the car to town, I don't need to. Oh well, done it now, & parking is free on Sunday. Leaving work I nearly forget, but congratulate myself on remembering to go to car park. Decide to stop in a shop, must still remember. 1st shop out of stock so go to 2nd shop & walk home. Only realise as I open front door & wonder why my car isn't in the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I was visiting my Auntie last week and she put the milk in the cupboard, and the kettle in the fridge after making me a cup of tea She was very when I quietly put them back where they should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Well that explains a lot - I thought I was going senile. Have done funny things with milk like put it in my coffee (I have it black), put teabag in on top of my coffee instead of getting out another cup for his lordship, driven the opposite direction going shopping to Camberley when I should have been going to Basingstoke. Numerous sessions of why did I do that and what have I come out here for. Just now I put the Quorn chickeny burgers on the baking tray and then went outside to fetch in the birds dishes and shut them in for the night. When I got back in the burgers are still sitting on the side and not in the oven. Shortly before that I put the oil in the oven for homemade chips, washed the potatoes and went for a sit down with Erin. Forgot the oil and forgot to slice the potatoes. Oops.

Alis girls Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 The relief to me is amazing - i do find stress esp at work makes it worse. OH and kids laugh at me they think its funny. I am sooo glad I'm not alone in this. That and the new personal central heating - only one in church on Sunday wearing a camisole under her cardi as I was hot. I grab whatever is too hand and fan myself with it. Defiantely going ga-ga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Aaaahhh, the fanning thing; I remember that. I blame a lot of the forgetfulness on being a busy single parent, plus if you move fast, no one notices that you've done something daft, then sorted it!

Lewis Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm sorry and know I shouldn't but :lol: Love the teafee and gravy with milk! Not really on the same level, but a friend got really emotional + cried when someone put a dirty fork in the cutlery fork - rather emotional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Well, after reading all these I shall tell Carl he's menopausal............ We have a gas oven in an outbuilding which we use if we have a power cut or need extra room. My son went to the outbuilding this afternoon to fix some plumbing.......it was rather warm in there - the oven was on! It had been on since ................................................................... Sunday afternoon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Sounds like a hot flush to me A woman at work is always flapping herself with bits of paper - I am going to invest in hand held fan as sometimes you just can't find anything to hand. Not sure if cat would want to be flapped up and down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Mobile has been left in microwave and I can tell you that no matter how many times you ring it it can't be located I once had to take DH's packed lunch to work after he forgot it only to arrive there having myself left it behind. The car has driven itself to places I didn't intend to go to BUT as for That and the new personal central heating - only one in church on Sunday wearing a camisole under her cardi as I was hot. I grab whatever is too hand and fan myself with it. Defiantely going ga-ga FORGET it. I'm on HRT till they put me in my cardboard box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Or maybe sit near the cat flap and have a string going back and forth - then ickle pussy will fan you! I tend to get unpleasant hot sessions at night - chuck covers off, get cold, pull cover back on, throw it off, pull it back . . . just needs Murray to start his snoring nonsense and I've had it - grumpy woman the following day. I've only had a couple of sessions during the day, one was in a restaurant where I felt so ill I had to get out into the air and have a lie down in the back of the car. Erin bought me a little fan after that! Oh dear Carl!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I once had to take DH's packed lunch to work after he forgot it only to arrive there having myself left it behind. : I remember my mother brewing up in the mop bucket instead of the teapot, years ago.

Valkyrie Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Ooh the mystery trip, love those. I have been a passenger in the car when Murray has driven from his mum's to our old house. Where are you going? Oops forgot where we lived. That was a couple of years after we moved here. Oooh bucket of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
