21? It Should Have Been 29, Now I know I Have Other Things On My Mind!

Hahahaha - I think it's lovely your friend's son thanked you for the card - it shows he has lovely manners, even though the card hadn't arrived yet! (His mum would be proud.) I couldn't even begin to list the daft things I've done. Just recently I told my husband the speedo thingie in the car wasn't working. The next time he used the car, he came home puzzled and told me it was fine. He asked me when I'd noticed it wasn't working, and I said it was while I was waiting at the lights on the highway. Well, duh. He was astounded. I've never felt so embarrassed in my life ... well, I probably have, actually. I think sometimes my aged brain just turns itself off and doesn't register common sense.

It happened to me when i sent a birthday card for my boyfriend(my husband now).I mistakenly wrote the zip code and i didn't noticed that.I kept asking if he had received it but he said no.And suddenly it was returned to me.I've been sending him cards and something many times but then i wrote his zip code wrong at that time without noticing it.

Hey Ellie. Well, one time when I was mailing out my Christmas cards, I sent one to my sister in St. Louis, Missouri. I had her correct street name and address except for I put my own city, state, and zip code instead of hers. Well, I felt pretty silly when it was returned to me in the mail and I saw what I did! That was a few years ago. Now, I just do a mail merge and print mailing labels for my cards (I mail out over 60 every year). So, I'm hoping I've now got everyone's address in my Excel program correctly. So, don't feel bad.

Wow that is daft!! My BF loves that Elvis record - Return to Sender!! I think I may have given out my wrong number but the reason being when we moved to Yorkshire we lived with my BF's uncle and had all our mail go to his parents house. When we got our own place, we are number 14 and Road and his parents are 15 and Way. The street name is the same so is easy to get confused.

I see that i forgot to respond to this topic yesterday - but seeing it now again i remembered it - it's quite funny actually but don't worry it happens to most of us - i mean confusion of numbers or words, especially when you are thinking of one thing and trying to write another. Thanks for sharing and sorry for not sharing any fun story at the moment but i am a bit sleepy - i think this is one of my last posts for today Take care Alex :D

Every year we send a card to my brotehr -in-law on his birthdayand it always reaches about one month after his birthday. The address is correct but it is never on time. Minimum a month late. I do not know the reason for this. All other letters to him reach on time. Surprising and funny.

[i]Hi ellie, ohh...It happens to me also, I was very excited mailing a T-shirt to a friend and it was more than 3 weeks already, she didn't get it and after several days, I got it back! Huhh! SO, I had to send it again and instead of giving her a surprise, have to asked her the address to confirm again! LOL![/i]

Actully about a month ago I paid a bill.....three days later it was returned to me. I had put the bill inside backwards so the address was not visible! I was kinda of mad at myself as I wasted postage but oh well...now I am more careful to put them in the envelope more carefully!

Hi Ellie..can't think of anything lately I've done thats been daft except when I have my blonde days and remember that it was my step-mum's birthday September the 16th then when on the phone to my mum she said don't forget Deans birthday Monday...which happened to be the 16th September...I remembered that it wasn't my step-mum's birthday and had to send another birthday card rather toot sweet to my nephew instead!! My dad and stepmum made a joke out of it..yet for years I had always gotten their birthdays muddled up as hers is April the 16th!..love and Huggles littleowl p,s, hope that made sense

Hi ellie, That must have been funny,hehehe I can't remember if I done anything funny like that, I bet he had a good laugh. Love & Huggles Tamara

Hahaha ellie333 what are you like? Well the other day I was having trouble logging into myLot. I put in my username and password and it kept telling me I was wrong and I kept trying until eventually thought am I using the wrong password, no I was typing in Humbug24 and I have no clue why!
