Now I'm in trouble
-
On her way out the door this morning, Michelle asked me "Can you pick up X when you go out?" and like an idiot, I replied "Sure! No problem!" Now, can I remember what it was? Nope. Not a clue. I've checked all the usual suspects Milk/Bread/Toothpaste/Loo roll/Cat food and they are all fine. Any ideas what I should get? :laugh:

A pad and pencil so you can make notes of what she tells you to do.

Her mother? The leaves in the front garden? The tree that fell on Mrs Biscuit?
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

If Mrs. Biscuit falls in the front garden and her mother is not there to hear it - does she make a noise? :confused:

Flowers. Always flowers when trouble looms :) On your way back, pop into the nearest bookshop & pick up one of those books on how to turbo-charge your memory...
Flowers would also be my suggestion - can't go wrong with that.

I did that the other day, and when I got home I put it on my bookshelf next to a book called "How to turbo-charge your memory".

Yes, get a pair. Just call her and ask her what she wanted: not too difficult, I would have thought.
