Just plain DUMB....

I have got some Ironing, to do, which I hate.... but never mind.

I got, the Hangers, from the Wardrobe, put the Ironing Board up, removed the Washing from the Machine..... What had I forgot? Yup, THE IRON!

Frankly, if I had the 'Brains', I'd be embarrassed.... but I'm NOT 'that' smart....

Mentioned the word "ironing" to a much younger neighbour the other day..... She just laughed and said "you mean people still do that thing!??"

Starting to question my monthly ironing stint altogether now...

Never had a problem with my GP's doctors when compiling a list of stuff to bring up. " It helps you to remember your concerns and helps us to see what we might be able to do to help you," is their take on it.

As for remembering the list, I put it in my shoe the night before I need it. This might seem odd to those who have a dozen pairs of regularly worn shoes...but I don't, so it works!

The other day I got dressed for work. My trousers felt tight and I told myself I must go on a diet. When I got back home I went to get changed, I took off my trousers and I had on a pair of trousers under that. I took those off and had another pair of trousers under that! I must have got dressed three times...?

Ha ha. I've no problem putting the iron on, it's turning it off I forget. I now have a poster by the front door which asks, ' Have you locked the back door? Turned the iron off? Picked up your keys?'!!

Not what you're looking for?
