Did I???

How many of us get to work then wonder if we locked the front door??

Or don't really remember the journey there as we have done it so many times before?

I'm finding myself increasingly wondering if I've forgotten something and before anyone suggests it's my age, remember I know most of you and I am ONLY 36!!!

The number of times one of my sons has told me something and I can't even remember the conversation (ok they could be pulling a fast one I know)

When making appointments I have to set a reminder on my phone so I don't forget it!!

I really don't think it is a sign of going senile more a case of life being so hectic that sometimes I'm sure I'm meeting myself coming backwards!!

anyone else suffering from the same fate??

Yeah, it is called going senile, usually starts about 35ish in the weaker species, 50ish for men

You really should have taken note of the "remember I know most of you" part of my post Ken....... another thump on it's way and this time I'll mean it

Always the iron - I have to make a point of saying to myself 'I have switched off the iron' - then when I get to work I can't remember whether I've said 'I've switched off the iron' or not!

I have a really good memory and rarely forget things - oops did I already post that - I must have forgotten

WillowTheWhisp · 10-07-2007, 20:47

I'm always doing it. Sometimes I think I'll go and do something or other and then I find I've already done it!

magpie · 10-07-2007, 21:44

You've got OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

It's easy to cure...just stop fretting.

If your house gets burgled, burnt down, etc., tough.

Hmmm Red, think all that pub crawling you've been doing might have greatly diminished some of those valuable brain cells?

You do remember your pub crawl don't ya?

Thankfully we never lock our doors out here. This is a good thing because I don't remember where I hid the key. However, I'm am very sure it is a great hiding place!

Don't feel bad , I set out for work one morning at 6.00 a.m. and instead of taking my usual turn-off carried on found myself in the toll plaza for the Bay Bridge, heading into San Francisco for a night out
