I went to buy petrol, I gave them my credit card and EEEK! I couldn't remember my PIN number. Senior moment. It got worse, I went to Sainsburys and forgot that I had forgotten my PIN and gave them the card, then automatically punched in the PIN. When I was loading the shopping into the car I remembered that I had earlier forgotten my PIN !!!! OMIGOD! Senior Moment or WOT  Is this normal? x Jan x |

Dear worried of Cornwall,
Very probably. Why not change your PIN to something that's easy to remember, like a pattern of keys rather than the numbers themselves?

I've got my pin numbers on my mobile 'phone under fictitious names and they're the last digits of fictitious 'phone numbers.

I can spot the fictitious names because they're not related to me and not my friends. If I lost the mobile I would be down the Swannee without a paddle I admit, but so far so good.  |

Well I can think of worse places to be up a gum tree (does the Swannee pass through there?)

30 years ago we moved house but only a mile up the road. Last year, driving home with daughter and grandchildren, we reach my old road and, yes, I slow down, indicate right and accelerate smoothly towards the house I last lived in in 1978.--
"Where are you going Dad?"
"What do you mean where am I going? Where do you think I'm--- Oh!"
I could understand it if I had moved a few weeks before but 29 years?
I have since lost my licence (on the gounds of ill health not because I can't find my way home) so now when going to the car my wife and I both make our way to the driver's side or worse, if my wife is loading up the boot, I get in the drivers seat and close the door-- cue wife gazing at me through the window,hands on hips, eyebrows raised. For my part I reciprocate with a "Whats the matter with you?" stare before getting sheepishly out of the car.

I've probably posted this before - after all, repeating oneself is a common senior trait - but I once put a hot water bottle outside the front door, and it was only as I reached bed clutching some empty milk bottles that I realised...... and I was only 30 at the time.
Losing things is my biggest problem now. I can put something down one minute and not be able to find it the next.

Same here, if it's any consolation! (I can imagine myself getting the bottles the wrong way round too ...) |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley
