When I was pregnant it was called ‘Placenta Brain’…. now that the baby is on the outside we happily refer to my lack of thinking skills as ‘Nappy Brain’, and I have it bad right now.

Yesterday I found a hair brush in the fridge. I tried to blame it on one of the children, but somewhere, in the technicolour fog that was once my functioning brain, I vaguely recalled putting said brush in a ‘very safe place’ only a few hours earlier… oops.

So I am not sure if this hair brained blogging idea is a result of having no brain to come up with interesting posts, or a result of having no brain to think through the consequences of my actions…. But either way, here’s the thing….

Ask me a question.
Any question you like.
And I’ll blog about it over the next few weeks.

Now I’ve seen this done on some fabulous blogs that I love and I’ve always been tempted to try it, but wary that perhaps no one has any questions to ask me. Perhaps I am too boring, or no one cares or I’ve already blogged way too much about myself and my life and my family and no one will ask a single question and I’ll be left sitting here in blog land all alone listening to the crickets chirping. Or perhaps I’m just all to paranoid for this!?!?

But I’m being stupid… ahem… I mean brave today… so someone help me out and ask me a question. Please.

Firstly, since so many of you have asked… Our new vacuum is a Dyson. It’s this one... the smallest barrel vac and the cheapest. It has no fancy bells and whistles but since we don’t have any carpet, we didn’t think we needed a fancy turbo head or the like. It cost a lot – well a lot more that I would normally pay for a vacuum but we went with a heap of recommendation from people and so far I am really pleased.

After living with a crappy broken vac for so long I can’t believe how well it sucks! It sucked up the rice after last nights dinner with ease, and it’s sucking dirt from between the floor boards just like Rach said it would. So for now.. I am in full on vacuum love, will let you know if the love wears off!

Fikey Frinkles have taken over our house.. along with Fikey Fiders. The Small Boy can’t say ‘R’ leaving him to say ‘The Led Lobot’s in the Lubbish’ and now he is also having problems with words that begin with an S and then have a consonant after then… Spikey, Sprinkles, Spiders. It’s very cute.

In other news… I’ve been writing for Multiple Bliss, about sharing a birthday, if you want to go look.

I’m also a Mumbler Mum stay tuned for our first blog posts coming soon, or chat in the forum while you wait.
