Off topic - sort of

[Marionfromhappydays]

In Sainsburys today it took me a good few minutes to realise I had put my shopping bag on the wrong side of the self checkout so it kept saying "item not in bag".

I then went out into car park and tried to get into someone else's car...... it was the same make as mine so didn't feel so bad 😁

I'm blaming the methotrexate ha ha

Have a good day xx

I'd just like to add no one was in danger during this episode!

Aye thats why i got rid of my car, if i fall off the bike, hopefully i will just hurt myself

[allanah]

Lol!! Brain fog is annoying ! Mine got better when I got more controlled !😂

[springcross]

I would start using a different supermarket! 😁😁 Seriously, yes it's really unpleasant isn't it but it's still early days so hopefully in a few more weeks you should almost be there. 🤞🤞

Goodness me - we have such a lot in common you and I. I’ve only just come in having thought another white car parked behind our was ours - definitely not the same make as ours. I did think it was a bit odd because I hadn’t thought we had parked right on the corner of the street, when I looked a bit further on and their was our car. You always feel a bit silly and hope that no one was watching you when you do that.

I don’t even have the methotrexate excuse. I think it’s possibly hereditary - years ago my not-even- very-elderly-totally-nutty mother was making a short ferry crossing when she got into a car at the other side of the river and thinking she knew the driver and after she got in and greeted him then she realised the poor man was a complete stranger. So alas that sort of thing seems to run in our family.

What we have in store as we age x

To be fair It is a new car to me so not use to how it looks ! Luckily no one was in it 😅 x

So familiar, i once left my car in town on a pay and display for a week.my mother -in-in law was staying, and i was in a tizzy. I thought i had returned my car to my garage and as that is some way from my house did not check.

It was only at the end of the week when i went to get the car to take mam to the bus station, i remembered where it was. My husband did not know whether to laugh, shout, or cry.

Fortunately no one had noticed so it all ended happily and now i walk or catch the village bus

I've had similar problems with car parks. Leaving my regular supermarket I looked for my car where I had left the car on a previous visit and wondered why I couldn't find it!

Even before RA and brain fog hit me I remember returning from a holiday abroad and at about 1 a.m. walking around the airport car park for about 40 minutes in the cold and wet before I could find my car. I had got off the shuttle bus at the wrong stop because I could not read what I had written on my ticket!!

Sad or mad?

[Marionfromhappydays in reply to Lolabridge]

Neither just normal , well sounds normal to me ha ha x

Wouldn't it be lovely to go on holiday now though

[Lolabridge in reply to Marionfromhappydays]

Yes I'm dreaming of a holiday ... in Italy next October as my daughter is planning to marry her Italian fiancé there. 🤞

[Marionfromhappydays in reply to Lolabridge]

oh wow, hope it happens. Sounds absolutely lovely

[Gnarli]

Don't panic. We all have days when things go awry or make ourselves feel silly. Add RD to the mix and who knows what could happen. I'm very good at tripping over my own tongue

[Marionfromhappydays in reply to Gnarli]

I normally talk to the self checkout machine so could have been worse ha ha x

I'm changing to tesco next week ha

[Gnarli in reply to Marionfromhappydays]

🤣

[Fruitandnutcase in reply to Marionfromhappydays]

Me too. I answer back and talk to the car sat nav, thank the bank machine and card machines.

One of my sons thinks it’s hysterical - when I said ‘Don’t you do that too?’ He said ‘ no, he didn't’.

He must have posted it on some sort of social media because the response to his post was that ‘when robots take over the world his parents (us) would be pardoned .’ Nice to know that.

ha ha ha

Hope you're shouting out your pin number 😂

I think we all do it but not everyone admits it.....

[Mmrr]

🤣😂

[sylvi]

Ha ha ha ha that is so funny darling,xxx

[Dobcross1]

Oh that pic and comment describes me exactly. I would love, just for once, to wake up feeling refreshed and not half dead🤣😂

[Sops]

Oh dear, time for a cuppa before proceeding home?

i have also tried to use someone else's car, felt so guilty, so made a quick exit when i found mine. Now i flash the fob to check which car responds,

Sopsx
