Now where did I leave that pram?

Finally the boffins have confirmed what we mums have known all along - having a baby turns you a bit daft.

The very morning I started panicking because I'd forgotten my bank account number - the one I've had for 19 years - I turned on the TV to hear neuroscientists and psychiatrists confirm 'Mumnesia' as medical fact.

Apparently, plummeting oestrogen levels coupled with lack of sleep does have a devastating effect on the brain's ability to remember everyday things.

What no one is saying is when I can expect my brain back. Help!

Umm, the bad news possibly never, get use to it and start learning strategies (and then try not to forget them). I'm two years on now and still lose the car keys between turning off the engine and opening the car door!
