My 10 most surreal mummy moments

1. Opening my empty purse to pay for something in a shop and suddenly remembering all my cards and money have been pushed down the side of the sofa

2. Taking 15 minutes to get the children and myself ready so we can walk 40 metres to the postbox to post a letter

3. Having to read two books to two children at the same time

4. Stripping off a baby who's had a huge nappy explosion while wearing my most glamorous outfit at a friend's wedding

5. Getting my course notes out at an evening class to discover I can hardly read them because they've been covered in red marker pen
