Persil-tastic!

I am not quite sure when it happened but the day has arrived that I am as excited over getting a HUGE bargain box of Persil non-bio as I am at getting a new pair of shoes! My best friend took me to (heaven) Makro last week and as we entered the doors my eyes lit up as I looked at my friend and said 'we are going to need a bigger trolley' (much like Broady's boat reference in Jaws). An oversized bottle of ketchup and a 5 litre bottle of lenor later we are back out at the car trying to squeeze in our giant bargains and giant babies but feeling very happy at our purchases! Speaking of purchases - my sisters and my eldest Niece are coming over to visit us in Chester from Dublin for the weekend and we are off to the Trafford centre tomorrow! I can't wait to spend some proper time with them without my kids in tow (well until my middle sister gets fed up with my indecisiveness, I get fed up with my middle sister's organising and my eldest sister gets fed up with us all for asking her to make our decisions on everything until she ends up solving all problems both emotional and shopping related and then we will all go and eat when I won’t be able to decide on what to have without consulting the eldest and so on) I really wish I hadn't put on that half a stone since Greece as I won't buy anything now ‘until I loose my weight’ - on the other hand after 10 months maternity leave I should only really be going to the local co-op to buy bread and water! Anyway back to the Trafford centre - my niece will think that all her birthdays have come at once, and luckily for her she has just had her 16th so she is in line for some spoiling. I believed she has researched the shopping trip much to the level that the archaeologists research the excavation of the tombs of Egypt. The last time she came to visit she ended up in an ambulance at 1am with me, my middle sister and my son then 18months old and he had a temperature of 34.4oC (2nd degree hypothermia) so I am hoping for a better weekend this time. Take a baby to hospital with hypothermia and then you will know what a disapproving look looks like! Do you know that she managed to do her make up before the ambulance came - impressive I thought! I just about managed clothes but my sister however in the panic, ended up naked in the kitchen. I love my family.
