    Well, once upon a time I was 'slightly' merry and walked to the wardrobe thinking it's a toilet.... !!

    Glad my brother pulled me out before any accidents happened

    I'm sure I've lost all my 'virtual' dignity now.

    Don't know if this would be classed as absentminded but

    I once did a well silly thing i was kicking the washing down the stairs and not thinking decided to climb over the stairgate.

    Result was slipping a hurting between my legs

    Becoming the topic of conversation around A&E and the laughing stock of the gyno ward.

    And walking like John Wayne for 2 weeks

    I was out at childminding group when one of the other cm got a phone call, she had just dropped her car off at the garage. She wasn't working that day because of car. They asked her if she'd forgotten something, and lo and behold she had left her son strapped into his car seat . She was in the mind of not working so forgot she was meant to have children with her

    When I first got with hubby 14 years ago we were sat on different chairs watching TV & he said 'chuck the remote over' he wanted to change channels.

    Well I was eating a pot of trifle at the time & threw that across the room by mistake......

    Lets just say MESS was an under statement.....But we did laugh our heads off at my stupidity
    wow 2012 already

    DH dropped me outside Chinese takeaway for me to run in and collect our order while he stayed in car with engine running. I ran back to car with the takeaway, it was raining, I jumped into the front passenger seat and did up my seat belt. Was begining to wonder why DH wasn't driving off when a strange voice said, "Can I help you?" While I had been in the Chinese some bloke with the same model and colour car had parked in front of DH.

    I got out faster than I got in. DH in fits as he has watched it happen .

    Put apple juice in a cup of tea instead of milk ---in my defence they were both in the same style of carton, however have made this slip up more than once

    I'll admit to mine...........

    I once went into the bedroom to get changed and was so busy thinking about something else, the next thing I knew I was getting into bed - trouble is it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon!
    Of course not silly question

    I've poured orange juice over my cereal.

    The worse one is in the past I've put my child in the baby carseat out of the sling and fastened the car seat in but completely forgot to do up the 5 point harness

    I'm always doing daft things and put it down to tiredness and too much on my mind

    Brill stories girls!!

    Most recent one for me was trying to get into the wrong room at the ncma conference. I had forgotton my voting papers and was rushing - Manjay told me room number but in space of ten seconds I forgot it

    I was so convinced I was at the right door that I got one of the cleaners to let me in - to find that it was wrong room. Thank goodness there was no -one there
