    Last week i left the front door wide open while we went out. Not a good idea. Luckly no one broke in.

    Whenever driving i always put it into drive and take the handbrake off, before i have turned the car on and wondering why its not going anywhere.

    1 dumb thing

    The only really dumb thing I have done was leave my ATM card in the ATM when i was staring at the balance slip to see if my BSB number was on it! It got saved by the machine when I didn't do the next transaction and JUST WALKED OFF!

    Luckily it was at my bank and they retrieved it for me when i realised at medicare that I didn't have my card anymore.

    These stories are so funny to read!
    I'm finding I forget words or they come out all jumbled.

    When I was preg with Ash I remember forgetting my pin number, luckily 3rd try I got it right. And I cooked spaghetti then went to pour it into the collander to drain it but forgot to use the collander so dumped the whole lot into the sink!

    Oh glad it's not just me

    I've been locking the backdoor when going out ... religiously ... and leaving the key in the lock ... on the OUTSIDE!! DH does not think this is funny at all

    And I paid DH's bakkie's licence in August ... never thougth about my car. Only realized yesterday that my licence were to be paid in August too. We bought the two vehicles together and last year I paid their licences TOGETHER ... this year .. it did not even come up in my mind. Had to rush to the DMV to pay the darn fee and licence.

    I 2nd the driving not being that good.. I hit a traffic island and burst a tyre.. Thankfully the guy who stopped behind me was a tyre fitter..

    I also went into the city with my Mum and bought my husband some loose leaf tea, and left it under the table where we had a snack. Remembered about 3 hrs later that I was missing the bag.. It was the only shopping I had done..

    At work, I was training new staff, and would forget that I was teaching someone and drift off with the fairies mid sentence.

    And the best one.. A girl came to work bragging about how she had lost 3 cm whilst on this diet for a few weeks.. Instead of just thinking in my brain, I opened my mouth and was trying to work out how you lose cm when on a diet.. (I was thinking height, not around the waist)..

    I never believed it until it happened to me..

    I am usually a VERY organised person at work and two days ago I lost my keys...horrific for me as it's something I never, ever do.

    I work at a school so searched the entire schools for my damn keys (no small task), even searched some places twice.

    Came back to my desk...and there they were sitting on the desk staring at me.

    I have also had some of my work collegues (who I have been working with all year) call my phone ext to leave a message or etc and I sudenly have no idea who they are, their name or what they look like. When I pass on the message and the Head of Senior School asks who it's from I have no idea whatsoever and must look very blank and distant all of a sudden becuase I seriously cannot search my brain...it's like my head is just an empty black hole.

    And after you have baby never leave your keys next to your babies car seat when putting baby into the car as you WILL leave them there and it will be on this day you car decides to lock it self with baby stuck in the car and you a screaming mess on the out side!!!
    Been there done that!! My vote is for a lanyard, that way your keys are always round your neck

    Is this the beginning of the end of my brain???
    Yes indeed it is!!!!!! I had a few moments, but the one that makes me laugh the hardest is when I was making toast, and put the bread in, and the top was sticking out. I cut the top off the bread... instead of just turning the toast around (which would have fit.... I didn't even think of it...). More embarassing, my sister was visiting, and she had toast, and I said "oh you'll have to cut the top off the bread if you want it to fit"... LOL!

    And running on daylight savings time all day one day, I was an hour early for everything (train, uni etc), and wondered why everything was running late.

    I also tried to put the remote control in my pocket thinking it was my mobile. Lucky it didn't fit!

    PMSL that reminds me, someone was saying to me "I'm on this new diet, its so great etc etc" and I said to her "so is it working?"... whoops!

    Do not walk away from the washing machine after you have put in the detergent/powder and started to fill it (to disolve said detergent/powder), but BEFORE you add the clothes!

    I think doing the washing and ironing. I couldn't find DH friday shirt for the last 2 weeks. I know I washed it and ironed it but for the life of me I couldn't find it. Of course this drives me nuts so yesterday my first job of the day was to pull every piece of clothing out of the bedroom and re-arrange it all. Which I really needed to do this again anyway. I ended up taking 3 bags of clothes to the Vinnie Bin. Anyway this morning still annoyed that I couldn't find it. I thought I wonder if I should check the linen cupboard and low and behold there it was folded in with the towel. In fact there were 3 of his shirts in there! I think thats a good enough excuse to get someone else to do the clothes sorting at least.

    Oh these are SOOO funny!

    Some advice to you all, especially if you shop at big centres. Go and tie a coloured ribbon around the arial of your car. So many friends of mine called the police to report their cars stolen and more than one has a story of being driven around Eastland car park by the police sobbing and pregnant because they lost their cars!!

    My orange ribbon SAVED the day several times, especially as I tried to drive off in the WRONG car once....
