Forgetfulness
Over the years I've learnt to make many things a habit due to a combination of an over active mind and forgetfulness.
Earlier today I once again forgot to pick up toilet rolls with my shopping, not the first and won't be the last time either, I've just tore an empty toilet roll in half and put in my phone case as a visual reminder next time I go shopping.
Interested to hear other examples and solutions 😁😁
@RunningMachine
I am hopeless in any situation without making a list first 🤗
@Amanda84
I tried making lists on the Notepad on phone then didn't look at them, overall I'm not bad just toilet rolls I have a particular issue with 😁😁
Isn’t there a way you can automatically order them periodically, like a subscription? I’ve seen other things like that.

I'm having a cheeky McDonald's after work, that has made me smile, I could do that from Amazon but would my stomach behave 🤪🤪
I’m not sure what that means lol
@jesusredeemedme2425
Thank you for your support this week, much appreciated, I've talked it through earlier this morning, it has helped.
Sorry GIF search not working..
Thanks
Well I'm not surprised I have remembered them and yes I had a giggle with Maria who worked with my ex wife 2O-25 years ago, I had to go back for them from the self checkout till, at least it worked 😁😁😁
Maybe next time, I'll talk about the weird places I often find my door key, managing or at least trying to manage an ADHD mind can be fun 😁😁

3rd time, the spinning will is so frustrating 🤪🤪🤪
@RunningMachine
I put alarms for everything lol 🙃. Had to close so many old alarms today because it was bothering others 😄😄
@gregariousSquare298
That's another story, keeping a list on ten Notepad app on my phone helps but only when I remember to look at it 🤪🤪
I write a grocery list in my phone, or set a reminder to go off
@crystaldawn76
Maybe that's a workable solution, list on phone and double down with an alarm to look at it 😁😁
I have sn Alexa at home and she reminds me to do just about everything. From adding fabric softener to the wash, calling the doctor and clipping the dogs claws etc.
@crystaldawn76
That's not a bad idea, I'll look into that, may be ask for random chat every hour or so.
@RunningMachine
Same here. I always put them in my phone as a reminder haha. With so many things in my mind I sometimes forget the things that are important for me to do or yeah buy at the grocery too haha
@Jewelmoon17
Good to meet you, have you got ADHD too by any chance. I'm not too bad generally but I seem to have a mental block when it gets to toilet rolls.
I've also learnt to check my running shoes whenever I can't find my keys 🤪🤪
@RunningMachine will you look at the phone case lol. I personally wouldn't 😂 my best bet is to put the empty roll somewhere where it is an absolute eyesore constantly reminding you, or taping a note to the exit door in eye height. If you wanna go with phone, tape the note to the screen lol
@sadcat13
That's an idea, tape it to my forehead maybe, might get some strange looks 🤪🤪
@RunningMachine you can't see your forehead lol. If you really have to, tape it to the back of your hand 😂
@RunningMachine or you can get a custom made shirt that says "please remind me to get toilet paper
@sadcat13
About a year ago, I tried buying two 4 packs, one went in the cupboard as a kind of emergency back up and I still ended up panicking when I got towards the end of the last roll, I literally have a mental block.
@RunningMachine lol. How about going to the closest store that has discount on it right now and buying like 6 packages
@sadcat13
Or a pack of 24 😄
@RunningMachine well, it doesn't expire... My dad always buys a lot of it, just in case. We have our entire bathroom shelf toilet papered. Did you learn nothing from COVID? 😂
@sadcat13
That's a few years back now, I've moved on but clearly the answer is not.
@RunningMachine well. Time for an end of the world nostalgia, go get that mega pack. In fact get 6 of those 😁😁😁
@sadcat13
LOL 148 toilet rolls, should last a week or so !!
@RunningMachine well. Gotta start the hoarding somewhere 😂
SOUNDS CREATIVE. SUPER PROUD
