Oh thanks Jackie at least I am not alone then I keep thinking I am getting the onset of allziemers (sorry can't remember how to spell it for the life of me ) Think I will bypass the birthday cake this year - all the candles will probably set the house on fire

I've decided to start counting backwards this year Foxy LOL

Good idea Jackie - think I will too - I think 40 sounds a nice round figure doesn't it and its only knocking 3 years off so its not much is it

I Don't forget things i just say the same thing over and over again. The stuff i need to do on that day i read my list say it out load then read and say it out loud again & again & again & again. My OH says you just said that it's the only way i can think of to get thro the day with the stuff i got to do.

I quite like 39 as a number actually

I think 35 sounds okay too (or am I pushing it a bit here? )

aww foxy dont worry i'm the same and i'm 21 I go upstairs and forget what I wne up for, I watch a whole tv program, go to make a cuppa and forget what I just watched!

It's nothing to worry about, things stored in your short term memory never stay there very long anyway. As for the cheque signing, I filled in a load of entry forms at the weekend for open shows in my area, and I couldn't remember signing the cheques, so I opened the envelopes back up to find I had signed them after all!

I have a bad short term memory...some things I find easy to remember, others I can't even remember from a few days ago

TELL ME ABOUT IT FOXY ...... now what did I come in here for??????

too many Cheeky Vimtos Foxy......stick to the Pomegranate juice
