Ok, me first. In the past two months I've received 2 speeding tickets on an otherwise unblemished 12year driving licence. Disclaimer: I am not a girl racer, I got caught speeding up out of a village so 35 in a 30mile per hour zone (both times, different village) sooo annoyed with myself but I am so distractable right now I'm thinking what's next? Forget to pick my son up from school? Leave my daughter at the supermarket? I'm not someone you'd want to trust with anything remotely important at the moment!

Gosh I need to be careful, always making driving mistakes these days, speeding, driving straight over zebra crossings and not stopping etc etc. Sent my mum to the wrong address to pick up an ebay purchase for me, having to cook things twice after forgetting half the ingredients, constantly double booking myself! Usually the most organised person ever!!

I drove away from the petrol station without paying. Police chapped on my door the next day!! They knew it was an innocent mistake and I immediately paid up and all was ok.

OMG puddleduck, I've nearly done that, I'm sure it's only a matter of time!

When pregnant with DS (DC1) I lost our food shopping. I had it at the shops. I had it when I went for an aimless wander a look around the shopping centre. I didn't have it when I got home. I'm still bitter about the loss of the biscuits. They were naice biscuits.

Also with DS I went out for the day leaving our ground flood, conveniently person sized, bathroom window wide open.

When pregnant with DD (DC2) we were in a new house. I went out once or twice at least eight times without locking the front door and at least twice left the living room windows open. I also went to bed several times with my keys in the outside of the front door (and the door unlocked). A nice neighbour used to lock the door and post the keys through whenever he noticed I'd done it.

I ran baths entirely of cold water and countless times I used to hang out all the washing on the line and then when bringing it in at tea time I used to realise I'd put it in the washing machine but hadn't actually switched it on so had basically hung out dirty clothes.

This time around (DC3) I have, so far, almost burned down the kitchen - I put the slowcooker on the hob and then, for reasons totally unknown, switched the bloody hob on and walked away. Only realised when all the fuses tripped and the smoke alarms went off. Kitchen was full of black smoke, slowcooker had melted onto the hob and the plug wire was almost entirely burned through (which is what tripped the electrics).

Roasted a chicken. In theory. In reality I totally forgot to switch the oven on and left a raw chicken sitting in it for a few hours.

Forgot DDs date of birth and on several forms wrote DSs name instead of my name.

Obviously I should not be allowed out anywhere on my own Blush

Worst things iv done is leave the keys in the door when I went out for a few hours (our house backs onto a public path everyone would of seen them that walked by) so lucky no one came in. and I'm constantly speaking like a 2 year old tripping over my words, mixing words up and them coming out sounding weird (not good when I talk for a living) and my ultimate worst was beginning of school year picking my dds and son up totally forgot youngest dd was now there all day and walked off as soon as eldest two came out, luckily I only got as far as school gate and ds asked where dd was Blush
