    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:

    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.

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

                                        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 dozen roses.

                                          Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
