I thought i might start this thread to compare ridiculous actions we do when the brain has been taken over by hormones.
Yesterday i suggested to my friend who was about to smoke a fag in her garden, that she could get alight off her rabbit! I was serious. And today i was stood in front of my house door bleeping it with my car remote key.Truly mental.

Was out in town and couldn't find my phone. Came home, rang it and could hear it ringing in the kitchen but it was nowhere to be seen. Finally discovered it was in the bin Blush. Then proceeded to clean it with disinfectant spray which completely killed it. Le sigh.

At about 24 weeks I parked my car and went to the pay meter to get a ticket...stood in a huge queue for the ticket and I remember thinking 'why is this queue so big and slow moving' waited all the way the the front watching other people using the machine...went to put my change in and realised I was stood at a cash machine trying to put 60p in where I would normally put my card! I was so embarrassed i just said 'oh' and walked off to the actual pay mater!

Realised Dp had left his mobile at home after he had left for work so proceeded to tx him to let him know. Got such a shock when his phone went off in my hand. Duh.

very early on, about 12 weeks, I went to the gym all proud of myself, got changed and went to walk out of the changing room. Checked myself out in the mirror on the way out to see if i looked pregnant and realised I'd forgotten to put my tracksuit bottoms on! I was about to walk out in my gym top and knickers!! Goodness knows what I was thinking or what anyone else thought!

I am so pleased that I am not the only one! You have all cheered me up no end on this horrible morning!
My head is pickled. So far this pregnancy I have; put white wine in my coffee instead of milk (wishful thinking maybe), found DC's trousers in the freezer (must have been on way to washing machine) and tried to put the trolley into the car in Sainsburys!
Lulabel - you have made my morning!

I keep emailing work clients with the wrong date for meetings, and confusing them, or going to meetings to find no client because I have the date wrong, or failed to invite them properly or something. My admin skills have gone to pot, unless it is something baby-preparation-related in which case I am on it like a laser sharp hundred pounds an hour PA.

I spent ages te other day at work as i was trying to do route planners for two visits the next day.Despite different families and post codes i kept getting the same street. Convinced it was my pg brain i stayed later and doubled checked all the info but still kept getting the same street. I was awake overnight thinking about it and wondering if i could stay at work untill the end as planned. The next day i went into work and another worker heared me puzzling over this. She then informed me that the familiues do in fact luive in the same street!!!
I also have a very "loose tongue" and find myself being very outspoken which scares me.
lulabel yes i wore my bra swimming under my tankini. Also used the bike and then got off, got the spray and tissue before wiping THE WRONG BIKE.Gym was packed too.
I have a bit of a rep in my village as the pregnant woman who bombs about on my bike. Yesterday i had on my denim mat skirt and had to hoick it right up to cycle, i must have looked hillarious and a bit wanton but i just dont care.

Yesterday I took DD to the park and to do a little shopping leaving the living room window open (big window, busy road, bad me). Fail 1.

I dashed back into the house at the last minute to get bread to feed the ducks. I got home and couldn't find my keys to get into my house. Fail 2

After emptying everything in the pushchair, DD peeing on the doorstep and leaving two messages with friends who had spare keys I took refuge next door where my neighbour kindly pointed out that my window was open and I could get in that way. Duh! Fail 3

I climbed in through window (grateful that bump is still small) but couldn't find keys in house. 2 hours later discovered keys in hood of pushchair. Fail 4

Going to Florida on business next week and seriously worried I might never find my way home again!
