Around 15 million of us will leave a (cup) of tea to go cold today while a similar amount will forget where they (put) the keys to their house or car.
Meanwhile, 12 (million) go to the shops only to completely forget what they went for - and the same will forget about wet washing in the machine, according to (research) carried out by National-Lottery.co.uk
PIN numbers, passwords and chores (such as) taking food out of the freezer the night before and charging your mobile phone also (featured) highly on the list. And more than one in ten admits forgetting to buy a lottery ticket which (may) have cost them a win.
The study also found men are more (likely) to forget things than women - even though women generally have more to remember.
Modern (hectic) lifestyles and increased workloads and pressures as well as modern technology were blamed for the (increase) in our levels of forgetfulness.
A National Lottery spokesman (said): "Brits are busier than ever in their work and personal lives and it seems we just have too much to remember for our crowded (minds).
The study found the technology boom has also (played) a part, leaving us with more gadgets than ever before to plug in and (charge) or take care of.
Despite work pressures it is (within) the home environment where most things are forgotten, such as credit card payments, children's school (events) or food related things.
The study found one in four people have (missed) an important appointment and nearly one in five have fallen out with a friend over a (forgotten) date or event.
It also emerged that (despite) the number of things we forget only one in four people actually admit they are (forgetful).
Women fared much better than men in the report, (failing) to recall an average of two and a half things every day (compared) to 3.5 things for men.
