Altzheimers runs in my family
This QOTW has been quite reassuring, as I've read so many tales that make me think phew I'm not the only one who does daft things like forget names, pin numbers, why I've gone into a room or stop dead on the stairs with a brain blip and cant remember if I'm going up or down.
Stress, tiredness and overwork can make us more absent minded and forgetful.
But lately I seem to be having more of these moments, I pop to the shop for milk and come home with a tin of beans and dont notice until I make a cup of tea.
Go to the post office to pay a bill and buy some stamps instead.
A couple of weeks ago I went to make my dinner and stood staring blankly at my cooker with no idea how to switch it on. The same cooker I've been using for years.
I did the same thing last week and again today.
If family history is anything to go by I shouldn't need to be concerned for a good 30 years yet
But I'll have probably forgotten by then

Some of those problems can be solved by
getting Ocado to deliver, therefore you don't need to go to the shop for milk.
Paying bills by direct debit negating the need to go to the post office.
