After a stressfull few days I dropped #1 son off at kickboxing, #2 son off aty cubs and went running with the juniors running club. At 8 I have to dash from the juniors, to Cubs to pick #2 son up then round to kickboxing to pick up #1 son for 8.30.
So tonight I left at 8 to pick #2 son up.
Got round to kickboxing, parked up, opened the door, closed it again and went al the way round the one way system to pick up #2 son up 15 minutes after I should have done :o :o :o
I had forgotten him in the 5 mins it take to get from the club house to drive past the road to cubs :o :o :o
So I can now say, the worst thing I have forgotten is my 9yo son :o :o
So whats yours????
Lea :) :) :)

mine i am afraid/ashamed to say was my 4 month old son.. i had walked to the village shop pushing the pram...gone in come out walked home made a brew ..
it was only when my mum asked where was stephen that i remembered he was in his pram still in the village!!!!

also managed to do the same thing with my mums labrador!!!
now where did i put my keys????

I forgot my daugther when she was about 4 months old too.  Pushed the pram into the shop, left it on the side, walked out of the shop, left, walked around the town for about half an hour or so, go into the car and started it.  It was only when I noticed the car seat that I remembered my daughter was still in the shop OOPS.  Unfortunately, sorry I mean luckily she was still there lol

I forgot to put on half my make-up when I went to baby clinic LOL

One eye fully made up, one cheek with blusher, lippy had worn off.   One earring - same side and odd shoes.    After having a 3month prem baby, living in hosp for 3 months and being home a month, and even managing to breastfeed, I wanted to show them how well I was coping - I certainly did that ROFLMAO    To make things even better I then took baby for a stroll in town before walking home

The thing I forgot, is best not remembered.  I was taking some of my dogs away on holiday,, and have a mate who dog sits, stays at my place, I can't possibly take them all!   My car was off the road, and I had been borrowing a mates little Toyota Starlet for work.  While away on holiday, I had visited a large open air market, spent a long time browsing, and noticed that the fields were full of cars around the market.

Could I find the car?  It was a really hot day, and I walked round for almost an hour, and was getting rather worried.  Two guys, who were directing the cars, asked if I was okay.  I explained that when I arrived I thought I would easily find the car, but now there were hundreds, and I just couldn't remember where I'd parked.  They were super, asked me to describe the car, and offered to split up and help me.  Couldn't remember the registration - it wasn't my car.  But told them it was a dark green Starlet.  I carried on looking too, and noticed a large silver car with a dog crate in back, exactly like mine!

Which was when I remembered that my dog sitter had said, why don't you use my car, you'll have a lot more room for the dog stuff.  His car?  A silver Toyota Avensis.  I cringed when I realised, and was far too embarrassed to find the guys who were looking for a dark green little car.  I drove out of that field with head bowed!

i forgot where i parked my car once, at a large shopping centre, last christmas, laden down with bags, walked aorund for 45 mins in rain, then phoned my boyfriend in tears saying the car had been stolen!! needless to say he drove to get me, over 40mins away, while i continued to walk around, he found it within 3 minutes! OOPS! still slags me for it.

I once took the dog to the vets and when I was half way there realised I'd left him at home.

It was full scale panic as I thought I might have forgotten to open the boot and just driven away leaving him loose.  Thank goodness he was safely locked in the house.  Whilst I put one in his crate the other one naturally went to his bed too and I never noticed.  What a twit!!

This was in my sleep deprived 'young puppy' period - sent my brain to mush...

A cat, on the way to the Supreme show. She was left outside kerbside in her carrier early November morning and once we realised we could not turn back as we were being given a lift by other people who did not want to miss the show. Tried to call ex MIL who was babysitting, no reply, ended up having to call the police to go and fetch the cat! Then arrived at the show and had to explain why we were there minus cat!!

Did her no harm, thankfully, said cat is now 15 ½ years old. :)

My Dad forgot his grandson once, he went off to a football match, Mum got a call to say Dad had left and Terry was still there, he passed her driving to collect him. Terry is 30 now and Dad 78 and we still remind him of it regulalrly.

Many years ago I was doing the thing men tell you off for..defrosting the windscreen with a kettle of hot water......well... I was in a hurry!

I must have put the kettle on the roof of the car but that is the last I saw of it..no bump, smash or anything. Later I went to make a cuppa and thought "where the heck is the kettle?" Then the penny dropped oops.

I wont say what I forgot to take but it resulted in my son ;O))

It must be a thing with new mums and shops, I too have left a little one.

It was at our local Tesco, he was 36hrs old and in the baby carrier, I was getting the weeks shop with my older 2 in tow.
Having loaded the boot up and packed the older ones in the car, I made to drive off, daughter aged 4 says 'Mummy where's that baby gone?'  

Eeeek!

I blame the THEN OH for not taking time off work.

not me but OH  it was raining really heavy, dark winters night we had done a big shop just before xmas went to the car with my two daughters and he was putting little one in the car seat, the other one on her booster seat, i was heaving all the heavy shopping into the car, shut the boot and said taking the trolley back, i walked to the trolley area, and turned around the car was gone thought  , he must be comming around to pick me up then i could see the car from where i was standing pulling out of the car park and onto the main road, i was soaking wet by this time, and it had started to snow by now i thought i will give him 5 mins to realise what has happened, i stood just inside the shop and after about 10 mins i saw the car speed into the car park and to the front door and three faces pearing out the windows, i got into the car and the girls where laughing and he looked mortified, he was nearly home when the eldest one piped up, why have you left mam at the shops?

ROFL!

I did exactly that with my freinds Golden retriver, left her outside the papershop when by Dad drove past and tooted.  Of course he didn't twig the dog was with me.

I have also during a serious 'mummy moment' raced out of my back door locked it, jumped into car and headed off, forgetting that when checking kiddie seats I had put the house keys on the roof of the car. Said keys flew of the roof of the car and were not even noticed as missing until I eturned home with toddler needing the potty :(

LOL at the house keys on the car roof.
I did the same with a fairly full handbag, after loading car with supermarket bags!
A man in a car behind followed picking up the bits for me and handed it all over when I pulled up at home.

went on holiday to cornwall, we travelled through the night so for comfort i kept my slippers on, when we got to our hotel room and unpacked i had everyone elses shoes/sandles but had not took one pair for me, picture the scene -- im walking around the town in my slippers looking for a pair of cheap flip flops to tie me over untill i could find some nice sandles, but eh the flip flops was so compfy  i decided as i was spending most of the time on the beach with my sons the flip flops will do for the week, i yes i travelled back in my slippers,

ooo that one reminds me ;o)) In my younger days I was having a night out in Ed with the girls, Hoping to pick up a few guys along the way. I did say in my younger days pre hubby. Spent ages getting ready, choosing the right outfit, make up hair ect. Got a taxi in to town and was having a really good time in the pub until I looked down and i still had my slippers on.............

As long as you didn't come home with your panties in your bag then slippers on is good ;)

Gosh I'm reading some of these with my mouth open! leaving babies, leaving dogs! Never! How do you do that?

If only I could be so innocent. Alas! I too shall have to confess. :-D

I was once working and had got really into my work, I truly thought it was only 2pm and I had a phone call from the primary school saying who's picking your children up from school? In my daze of time denial I thought someone was trying to collect my children from school, (plots of kidnap were racing through my head I was all panicked saying, "Who's picking them up? I'm the only one that is picking them up!"

The receptionist obviously confused, went silent for a minute and so did I, I then looked at the clock and it was 4pm, I suddenly realised what was happening, and said I would be there asap. I rushed out the door, not believing that I had lost 2 hours, I'm sure the receptionist must have thought I was on drugs, I was so embarrassed that I had forgotten the time by so much, I said I had fallen asleep, which probably was even worse. :-D

I set my alarm for quite a few weeks after that incase it happened again, it never did.

But there you go, mine weren't even babies, can't blame sleep deprivation.

I've done the coffee cups on the car roof a couple of times too and driven off, oh and once my cat was sat on the roof and I forgot, I drove off and he stayed on there for a good couple of mins until someone pointed him out. (Lucky I wasn't on the motorway that day :-( )

These stories are great :) :) :) :)
Lea :D :D :D :D :D

It goes with the territory we women have an amasing ability to multi task, this of course also means that we have an amazing abilty to multi un-task i.e. we have too much to do at any one time and the brain turns to marsh mallow :)

Ive got 2. The first is funny and dangerous. It was when I was first married and was off to work on my moped. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining, I thought how lovely it was to have the slight wind blowing thru my hair then realised oh s*** hadnt got my helmet on!!!! Had to rush back quickly before I got pulled in!

Second is worse, much worse. I used to regulary forget to feed my daughter as a baby. She was such a good sleeper and content baby, she hardly ever cried and sometimes I would suddenly realise that it was tea time and I hadnt given her any lunch! She makes up for it now though!!

My daughter has the "I am the youngest so why bother listening to me sydrome". Completly  justified as it happens ...

One year we were off on holiday, camping, so loads of stuff ,the trailer,kids bikes etc etc.
My daughter went to say something and OH said "In a minute I am thinking". We got in the car. Daughter went to say something I said "Just a minute I want to make sure I have not forgotten anything" ."Humph, mumble, mumble under her breath. Then we got to the end of the road and DOH it dawned on us we did not have the dog.

"So now you want to listen do you ?"she roared.When we pulled up to our drive he was sitting at the roadside waiting for us!!

I have done the slippers thing too, when waitressing. I was taking an order and could hear the table behind sniggering, "idiots", I thought. Went off to the kitchen to be met by roars of laughter from the chefs, I still had my pink fluffy bunny slippers on!!!

> oh these are making me chuckle!

Me too!!! :-D

> I still had my pink fluffy bunny slippers on!!!

LMAO!!! That well made me laugh!!!! :-D

Well Lea do you remember coming to my house in May and we took Kerri to the bypass to get her on her way and we got out the car and left my lab in the boot! It's only when we went in the house and Craig said 'dog?' and we went oooh yeah!  Luckily he hadn't been long in there!

I've done the handbag on the car roof too.  Luckily SIL saw what happened, picked up and followed me home.

Funniest items on car roof episode was neighbour's friend who was bundling her little'uns in the car and was already in a bit of a fluster. One of them had wet himself so while she was strapping them in she put the clothes including shoes on roof.  Jumped in car and started reversing out of our close with me and neighbour waving frantically.  She didn't see us because she was looking backwards. As she braked some of the items tumbled off and then as she looked forward and stepped on the gas the remainder of the items flew off the back.  Just looked so funny at the time :-D

this one is a bit weird I know but........ I forgot my hubby's name !!....
He was lying in bed after a night shift and had  asked me to wake him up I nipped upstairs he was fast asleep, went to shake him and couldnt remember what to call him , when he woke up I was rolling on the bed laughing my head off I finally got it out that I couldnt remember his name ....been married 23 yrs  of course I blamed it on being that time of my life luckily for me he was tickled too!

lol - not forgotten names as such but do that awful thing where I go through all the family names before getting to the right one.  I've got a bit of a stroppy daughter (actually she's really stroppy) who used to throw daggers when I did roll call when I only really wanted one but I thought I wouldn't survive the look she gave me when the dog's name got added to the list. I just call everyone darling now.

I used to work in another town from where I live, and was always juggling traffic and appointments.  I actually found a hairdresser who would start early for me, and fit in a wash, cut and blow dry before work.  You could park right outside the salon, but time was limited, and I was always worried about the traffic wardens.  As long as I hopped in the car and got my foot down, I could make it into work in time.

Although I was always totally happy about the haircut, this guy just didn't put enough hair spray on for my fine hair, and I carried a small handbag size hairspray in the glove compartment.  Racing out of the salon one morning, I jumped in the car, was watching the heavy traffic in my rear view mirror, in a hurry to get pulled out as soon as there was space.  While watching the traffic, I reached into the glove compartment, pulled out the spray, and blasted my hair all over.

It didn't smell good, but traffic cleared, and I bombed off, had to wait until I got to work to look at the canister.  I had forgotten that I had put the WD40 in there.  Say no more.

Forgot to do my horse one night! It was chucking down with rain and thundering and I thought 'I hope my ned is ok' penny dropped and I realised he was still in the field - out I went at 11.30pm and I got soaked - Shame on me still have not forgiven myself.

Also left the keys and the dog in the car, went to nip into the house to get my phone (which I had also forgotten) and came back to find she had locked the central locking - very red faced when a friend had to help me get in! lol

Well being 8 months pregnant at the moment my memory is awful!!!
A couple of weeks ago was in a rush to get to training loaded everything i needed into pockets (most stuff is in van allready)
Got the dogs rattled my pockets and went out the door only to find out that the keys were in the house .
So i am stuck outside two dogs and no keys had to ring my dad to bring van keys , He came with the wrong keys had to take my little polo and wait for my other half to come home for work to get back in the house.

:-D lol Oh My!!! Some of these have gave me a good laugh this morning- sure brightened my day lol

Just glad to say for those of you that have forgotten lil one's am so glad they were still there- when reading that my heart fell, but since they were there it did give me a chuckle :-)
