You know you are dyspraxic when...
Every time you leave your house, you go back to check if the door is shut because you can't remember whether you shut it properly ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")
You hit your head on the the cupboard you opened just 2 seconds ago...
You manage to trip over your own feet
You knock over someones glass whenever the opportunity presents itself
You try to catch a ball and it somehow misses your hand and hits you right in the face
Let me think of some more...

saying that though dan, I was driving down the M11 the one night back in 1999/2000, the motorway was quiet going towards London, and seen this car behind me, looked again and he was right up close, and said to my friend look at this one go, not much further down the motorway, sort of around parallel with Chigwell, and we seen the double flash of the speed camera!!
he must have been hitting close on 120 mph, as he caught up with us like we were sitting stationary!! ok so I was only doing about 55 mph (engine idol speed) conserving fuel.
I think it was police in an unmarked BMW on their way to investigate who's turn it was to make the coffee!!
that was a nice citreon AX to drive, you could drive it from South Wales to London, and back in the same day, and the seats were so comfy that you would have sworn you had only driven the car to the shops!
the only problem I had with it was not much power for when you hit the climb uphill on the motorway by Bath, and not having a 5th gear, and the previous owners hadn't taken good car of the cars body work, but apart from those 3 faults, it was a great car to drive. and got from Bridgend to London, and back on £17.50 if not less. and that was at think it was 69.9p a litre
about the only thing cheaper would have been a push bike!!

You know you're dyspraxic when.......
... You put a bowl of porridge in the microwave for brekkie. Promptly forget about it. Return a little while later to find most of the porridge spread over the bottom of the microwave. You think 'no problem' and reheat the bit thats actually managed to remain in the bowl, then sit down and sprinke a half an oxo cube (rather than the sweetener powder stuff)on top of it. Doh.

my aviator reminds me not to do what i always do
Argh that's quite a collection you've accumulated there this week!
You know you're dyspraxic when you go on a river walk in your hometown which you've done hundreds of times before. At one point I have to step over some thick iron chains that go across the path - something I've done each time without incident, only this time I fair thwack my knee on the chain. Ouch! I was limping the way home.
I've also managed to kick the similarly heavy and unforgiving base of my chair this week too amongst several other incidents with the furniture!

I hate shopping!
When.... although each and every time you get out of the car you do a "keys, phone, wallet" check, you still manage to lock the keys in the car... good thing I had left the window slightly open and was able to recover them with a piece of fencing wire...

Had an interesting experience driving the other day.
Just came up a hill to a mini roundabout and headed left, up ahead I saw a child crossing the road, but it looked from the way she was glancing around more like a game of dare.
Thinking, 'there's always more than one' I slowed down - and sure enough, 4 more kids stood on the verge, one holding a large stick (actually it would be more accurate to describe it as a branch) I came to a stop (the car behind me was clearly wondering what i was doing.
One by one, they came to the realisation I was waiting *for them* and they crossed over.
I gave a wave to the car behind for being patient and then set off again.
All the way home, I though that could have been so much worse.
