    And a pencil and rubber in case I make a mistake and need to start again.

    A big pencil with the rubber fixed to it, like the souvenir ones you when some cnut somebody in your family goes on holiday.

    I often have to doublecheck my phone to see if I sent a message to the correct person. Not sure I've ever sent it to the wrong person actually, but still continue to check.

    I do something similar when I'm ringing someone. I ring, put the phone up to my ear and then as it starts to ring I suddenly wonder am I after ringing the right person and have to look at the phone again to check :o

    That too.

    What about having the phone up to your ear, hearing it ring and actually forgetting who you are ringing. That would probably be mental wouldn't it? :o

    I often have to return to the house because I'm convinced I've left the iron plugged in or left a window open.

    Or check that all the car doors are locked even though I have remote central locking.

    Think that's more OCD than a brain glitch though.

    I give myself reports when I turn off appliances, and it seems to help me remember that I've done it and saves panic later. A real brain glitch was when I did it in someone else's house.

    "I'm now turning off the immersion."
    "Eh, good girl yourself."

    :o

    What about fake ones? :)

    I brought my young kids down with me when I was voting tonight and it's the same 2 people that always man my station. They're a bit officious - local busybodies.

    For a laugh, I loudly said to my kids in front of them that they could put the X in whatever box they wanted but really I did it myself behind the screen and they gave me this hilarious, affronted look - as befits FF lickspittles - at my supposed imbecility, no doubt accentuated by me wearing tracksuit bottoms.


    This made me laugh!!! he he he
    And yes you do have a wonderful turn of phrase!

    Ashamed to say I'll be adopting that one.

    Actually, writing it on my arm would be a good variant.

    it's easier if you pretend your whole house is a spaceship.
    As long as you live alone, that is. :D
