Don't eat the crispy cakes you lovingly made with dc for Easter with mini eggs and chicks because they were made with shredded wheet and you're gluten free
Ffs what was I thinking
I literally saw one thought that looks nice and ate it
I made it
I know what's in it
I now look 39 not 11.5 wks pregnant and have been trumping/ sat on loo most of evening... The worst bit
THIS ISNT THE FIRST TIME
I bought a bloody sandwich out last week... I can't eat bread
What the hell is wrong with me ShockShockBlushBlush

Grin.
My worst so far is margarine in the cupboard and Vegemite in the fridge but there's plenty of time for another keys in the bin scenario as played out last time.

I forgot what I was ordering in a sandwich shop halfway through at lunch today. I just froze. Could barely remember why I was there!

I've had a 'mush' brain since about 8 wks, I forget words part way though a sentence, have had something in my hand moments before but forget where I put it (and it could litterally still be in front of me) and often go to the shop and forget what it was I went for.
Once I went shopping 3 times in one day before I actually got all the things I needed!
We often have a half of the things for one meal and half for another which does make tea time quite interesting some days Grin

I have done the same commute day in, day out for longer than I care to remember. Suddenly I start getting on the tube line going the wrong way . . . why?!?!?

Yesterday I took off a ring that DH gave me 11 years ago because it was getting tight. Cheap but sentimental value. Now cannot find it anywhere. Think I must have moved it somewhere absent mindedly. But cannot find it anywhere! Worried that I threw it in the bin or flushed it down the loo!

At work I set the printer to print out about 300 documents. I meant to press delete. I also let it run over lunch so it was only discovered after I'd emptied it of paper and ink. Oops

Loving all these stories, they're funny but at same time I want to say "I understand you!!"
I've had a mushy brain for the last couple of weeks (am now 9 weeks). Took me over 10mins to make 4 teas for parents, DH and myself the other day. Only one person was having sugar but I got too confused -I'm usually a super multi tasker so this really stressed me out!

I have 2 dc, the second is a year and not sleeping well, so I'm hoping lack of sleep is partly to blame, but I still have baby brain, I don't think I can risk any more children I would become dangerously forgetful!
