    You guys are so funny!!!

    I've forgotten ALOT of things. Usually DH's smokes. Most of the time they are all I'm supposed to be going for.

    Haven't taken my garbage shopping yet!

    The first case of Baby brain I remember was my first time out of the house with DD1. I went & bought 2 mothers day cards. One for MIL & one for my mum. Sent MIL to her & filled my mums out & left it at the PO.
    Then went & bought a film at the chemist & left it behind.
    Then that night I locked us out of our flat. Lucky the real estate was open late for some strange reason! It was about 6.30pm!

    After DD2 I went & got money out of DH's bank account the day after I had her. I left the card in the ATM & it ate it before we got back. Coz he wasn't with the atm bank we couldn't get it back & had to order a new card.

    BJ I have locked myself out of the house soooooo many times it not funny.... Its gotten so bad that poor little DS will ask me about 3 times if I have the keys everytime we leave the house.... Touch wood I havent done it in this house YET!!!! I do now make sure I lock the door with the key so I know I have them with me....

    Once I lock ourselves out when we lived in a typical Darwin house which are built on very high stilts DD1 was only 4 mths so I will blame Baby brain for this one anyway I had to put both the outside bin on top of each other and climb up while poor 3yr DS held the bin steady LOL... anyway I had to take of the luvers and almost do the spilts standing on top of the bins and pull with all my might to get in... I ended up with a bruse that went from my butt down to the back of my knee.... all this and I was in a dress and Darwin has cyclone fence so i am sure the neighbours got an eye full....

    Tali you poor thing! My thing is locking the keys in the car.

    See I was going to post that before, but I forgot!

    There was something else.... It'll come back....Maybe

    I did put the cereal in the fridge & the milk in the cupboard the other day...
    Hmmm...Got it! I scratched up my new car!
    I had my 1996 Ford Explorer for 2 weeks when I pulled out of the drive way on an angle, then tried to straighten up. Stupid me tried to take the fence with me. Literally!
    I heard a noise & thought 'what was that, sounds like something scratching the car - hmm...kept going til it got to the wheel arch & pulled off the bumper thing.
    Bent the fence too. A metal post! It wasn't a light scratch & I knew it was happening but I didn't stop. Why you ask?? Don't ask me!!!

    Cant tell you how many times I have put the car in Reverse instead of Drive whats makes it sadder is that I only drive a auto.... I drove right into a wall once put the car into D for drive inseade of R for reverse and then paniced once it started to move so hit the execelrator ( sp?) instead of the break ... we had only had the car two days and it was my first day driving it with out VHL in the car.... BHL said when he came home after my paniced phone call he was so releaved we were all ok he didnt care about the car.... lucky for me wasnt too much damage done

    Tonight I was watching the football with DH and the NZ team was wearing jumpers and I said to DH 'Why are they all wearing jumpers isn't it the same season as it is here? It's summer!! Aren't they hot?' While sitting there in my flanellete pyjamas and fluffy socks.

    Oh yes, placenta brain sure does exist. In fact mine hasn't improved at all since bub was born! She is 10 months old and I still have it. I don't put things in silly places but I just completely forget things. Appointments, birthdays, important tasks, anything . . .They are in my head one minute, next it has gone. I never used to be like this. DH just about it.

    When I was pregnant I went to visit a friend whose house I had been to before on Stewart st. I went to the 'right' street but couldn't for the life of me find the house. The house number didn't even exist on the street. I sat in my car and balled. It felt like the world had shifted and noone had told me. It took me half an hour to figure out that they lived in Stuart st in the same suburb. doh!

    I dropped my HPT in the loo two days ago, and left my house keys in our post office box today (got them back due to some kind soul) and I am at the very beginning only 4 weeks. Who knows what I will be doing at 9 months.

    I was fine throughout my pregnancy but I think it's the sleep deprivation that has got me. Today I was on my way out and I locked the front door but left the keys in the lock
