I am a idiot

[Deleted]

This morning I decided to iron by the kettle, set the ironing board up, plugged in the iron and at the same time boiled the kettle to have a cuppa when I am done, I got my jeans on the ironing board and without looking grab the boiling kettle thinking it was the iron. The jeans are soaking and are back in the dryer, the floor is flooded and I have no mop (had to use a towel) and all my other jeans are in the wash.

Moral of the story.

If you are a incompetent fool like me, never iron by a kettle.

It's a good thing the phone didn't ring!!

[genguskhan]

Could have been worse you could have answered the phone using the iron

Nice tip that. stay away from ironing next to the phone.

I do it all the time, i try and put kettles in the fridge, iron board in the freezer, go to take a bath and forget why i am in the bathroom, not so long ago i was walking to work and ended up inside Argos which is the opposite way to work, i stood in there and it dawned on me "What the hell am i doing in here"

Got a brain scan this Friday, bit of luck they will find my brain, been looking for the damm thing for ages

I am not that bad yet. but I did nearly use milk once for soap powder. Did you buy anything from Argos while you was there?.

Seriously good luck with the brain scan, Hope your alright even though your post had me in stitches.

Didn't buy anything from Argos but was tempted

I have had my memory test (Failed)
Got to have a fastening blood test this Thursday and then the scan Friday to see if they can find anything, presumably my brain

I had a memory test once, but I can`t remember if I passed or not.

I always thought that you were the brains on AAEC, but I haven't given up hope.

I hope they find your brain otherwise you might have to wear one of those id tags that's been reported on the news for people with alcheimers just in case you go wandering again.

Good luck on Friday mate, let us know how you get on as I don't think I am that far from getting a test done myself.

Sounds perfectly normal behaviour to me........

Oh dear, Stamina, hope you're dried out & clothed now.


Good luck with the scan, Super-Shiny, hope it's for nowt serious, but they indeed prove that you have a brain.

I actually thought you were joking about the brain scan! The absolute best of luck with that and I hope they don't find anything out of the ordinary.

My short term memory has been shot for a couple of years or so, it scares the life out of me at times when I too do things like go to put the kettle in the fridge and put milk in my coffee, walk back to fridge, put milk back in fridge, quickly do something else like wipe a surface down, then get milk back out of fridge to put milk in coffee then see I already did it Loads of things like that. Wife might tell me something, I DO listen, 10 minutes later I'll ask her something to do with what she already told me and she says I told you that 10 minute ago and then I do remember but I might ask a second time. Even typing out things on here quite often (I don't look at the screen as I type generally) once I've typed what I wanted to say I look up and there are whole words missing that I thought I had typed, it isn't my keyboard its me (had to add a few words into this paragraph too). It can be quite upsetting.
