Lately I've been thinking things I could go down the local shop have a list in my head yet I get back then 5 mins later I remember what I needed. Then today I ask my gf if she wants a cuppa while am tidying up, completely forget, we go out for a bit we come back and says making that tea then. While in the car I remember. So much has been going over my lately is this normal after being on them ?
