Old Age Sucks

I couldn't find my debit card this morning. After some thought, I realised I had probably put it in my shirt pocket after using an ATM. Looked for that shirt for 15 mins - not in laundry basket, not on bed, not in bathroom, not on floor, not in kitchen ( getting desperate now ).

Eventually realised I was wearing that same shirt

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Not arf

I don't drink much these days. But the last time I did, the next day I went into Screwfix to buy some customers material. I normally pay with my business de bit card that I use every day and have done for 5 years. That day the brin cell died overnight, I had to go home and look it up.

Phah! You dont have to be old to do that sort of thing but it gives a great excuse for when you forget what or why you were trying to find it!!

Mate of mine couldn't remember where he'd left his car at tescos, took him ages to find it. Next time he was at the Doc's he mentioned it to him & asked if he had he got Dementia. The Doc said no thats not a problem, but if you forget the colour you'r really in trouble.

The wife

The wife lost her mobile in February. It was not lost she said, just misplaced, "don't report it stolen, it will turn up". I tried ringing it but of course she never switches it on, emergency use only excuse. Well I ignored it for a few months and sure enough there was no billing. She turned the car/house/my cars/ the daughters cars/houses upside down no phone.

One day her car broke down, had to put 1£/minute into a pay phone at Tesco's to tell me to fix it. I fixed the car after cycling to where she broke down as she won't drive my van (or Westfield).

I will get to the point.....

At that point I went to Argos paid over £20 and bingo new pay as you go phone. Several weeks later the phone turned up in her hand bag where it had been all the time. What does my wife say "someone must have put it there, I looked there immediately I lost it".

I think she must mean me cos the cat is the only other inhabitant of my house these days.

I remember my dad trying to answer the remote once with his phone ringing away in his pocket.

Spent half an hour looking for me specs then realised I was wearing them, best bit is the missus was helping me look and she never noticed.

I regularly go out into the garage and completely forget why I went in there, it's even worse because I'm still only 19. And this was even before I went to uni

I have got to the stage that I cycle through the Grandsons names till I get the right one.

More often than not, when I have been out with the dog, when I return home I try to unlock the front door of the house with the remote fob of my Jeep.

Years ago when I was 20-something, I took my parents down to see my sister (Wellingborough - Bognor Regis, about 127 miles). This involved a comfort stop (or two) for my folk.

M1 J12 toddington services, comfort stop.

London gateway M1, comfort stop.

Guildford, comfort stop.

At each stop I waited patiently in the car so that we may carry on just as soon as they had both returned. At the forth stop just near five mile bottom, my mother returned first and on entering the car she asked me, almost sounding indignantly, " How come you haven't needed to use the loo's yet?"
To this I replied "I don't know why, I just don't need to."

Now I am in my 50's I know the reason why, it was because I was a lot younger then.

Now then, where DID I put my..........................................................
