Had a real bimbo moment this morning. We ran out of money last week, and ferret food ran out yesterday, so we had to top up the bowl with some cat kibble (sorry ferrets!!). I went up the pet shop this morning, but forgot I'd left my debit card in the drawer so I couldn't use it. I ended up being unable to buy any ferret food as it cost more than the cash I had in my purse, so had to settle for buying some treats instead. Looks like another trip to the pet shop is on the cards for later! Duh. :grumble:

At least I discovered this at the pet shop rather than say, the petrol station after I'd filled up.

    I know of a guy in a band who was sent out by his bandmates to buy beer, but came back with a rabbit instead. A live pet rabbit (nothing bad happened to the rabbit, I hasten to add).

    I was providing the first aid cover with St John Ambulance for the Dawn Walk (a sponsored 9km walk which starts at dawn for the local hospice) a few years back, and was using the light on my phone as a torch. I then had a mega panic thinking I'd lost my phone because I couldn't find it in my pocket when it was in my hand... :blushing:

    I also once saw a female bird in the garden and said to my Mum "What are those birds called that are black but aren't crows?" and she replied "What, Black Birds?!". I just said "Oh yeah...". I knew that the males of this female bird were black, I just couldn't think what the species was called!

    My husband came out with a cracker of "Asparagus veins" last year though. I was nearly crying.

    And my sister in law is always getting her words mixed up. When Amanda Holden came out on BGT dressed up in her 50's gear a few years back, my SIL said "Who does she think she is?! Madelaine Monroe?!". Then, whilst trying to put my great nephew into his high chair she said in frustration "I can't work these contractions!". She also once bought a 'pullet' of strawberries, there's 'smoke' coming off the food (not steam!), the birds are 'twerping'... :laugh:
