To try to remember what I am going to the store for I number the items. I have eggs milk bread ok 3 things then when I get to the store I remember eggs and milk and then go what was number three what was that one???? Sometimes I have to call home and ask my mom if it was her list I was filling! LOL I try to write things down but I usually lose it. or forget to pick it up in the first place!
I find if I write them down tho I am more likely to remember them. I also tell DH so he can help me remember. This is asking a guy who has a memory disorder and can't tell you what he had for breakfast today to remember my list!! LOL But sometimes he remembers and jogs my memory! He is a terrible nag too when he wants to make sure we don't forget! He'll tell me over and over from time to time!
