Rachel,<br><br>Absolutely normal!!! WHy do you think Daytime TV is full of shows split into three minute slots....it's because hormones make you lose your memory and destroy all your practical brain cells to turn you into a list writing, forgetful, unable to concentrate on anything for more than two minutes gibberring wreck.....and it never goes back to normal after birth....ha ha ha hee hee hee....it just prepares you for hours watching Teletubbies and Fimbles!!!!<br><br>Enjoy and don't forget where you put your list !!!<br><br>Nicky

Hi Rachel,<br><br>Hahaha - I can so identify with this! <br><br>Mind you, I am a surpressed natural list writer anyway - the surpressed is because I think I gave my dh 'list overload' when we were doing up our previous house to sell - there was soooooo much to do that he became completely overwhelmed by the DIY jobs scheduled.<br><br>Now, he says if making lists makes me happy, then I can go ahead and do them - been doing the 'jobs to do' on bite size "weekend by weekend" lists - what we don't get done one weekend gets transferred to next weekends list. This keeps us both happy, but I'm guessing something may be forgotten along the line - hopefully nothing too serious.<br><br>So there you go, we can both be normal or not together!<br><br>Thanks Nicky for your reassurance though.<br><br><br>Love Fiona<br>19w2d
