This weekend I took my three children on a BIG FOOD SHOP, fool that I am…
After issuing warnings and threats through gritted teeth, followed by pleading and promises of Kinder Eggs, squirty cream and chocolate breakfast cereal, I strutted (think Super Nanny in cowboy chaps) into the supermarket full of confidence and misplaced optimism… fool that I am.
One child wonderfully engrossed in book, hell I was feeling cocky at this point!
Five minutes in, things start to go tits up… Whoopieeeee, let’s start dragging our limbs and hair along the floor under the speeding trolly.
Sod this reading shit, I’m outta here!
Yup… I think I started shouting around about here…
Oh no, no, no, It was definitely here I cracked, Oskaaaaaaaaar! FFS!
After regaining control of boys, Victoria goes walkabout. After much frantic shouting and searching she is found applying lashing of scarlet lipstick a la Hookersville.
Then I lost Oskar, after more searching and an announcement on the tannoy (So freakin’ embarrassing!) we found him… in the rock salt.
AXEL get back in the bloody trolly! He is in, but that look is saying “Bollocks to this Mama, I’m off to poke and scream at some seafood!”
Octopus for poking and screaming at, before being told off by fish counter girl… Hell she was mean!
An escaped Axel embarks in a little more climbing, before getting trapped in trollies and screaming the damn supermarket down. Mortified!
Back home, slightly shaken, to hastily ram food into burgeoning fridge. This photo both excites and disturbs me… (broccoli was on special)
Then my friends, I drank wine… lots of it 
Reminds me of similar past excursions with your beautiful brood!!!!!lol
LOL Oh why thank you! You love it go on admit it! xxx Isn’t it about time Uncle David took them out for the day…?

Thank you sweets, wanna swap?
Ha haa, remember those days although I only have 1 girl… Used to bribe withg a packet of biccies that she was allowed to finish while we wandered around, bad mama..
Christina… Bad Mama indeed, jeez I must be a rotten one then! I don’t think I could parent at all without bribery… errr I mean incentives!
Good Lord! I think my five ferals have some strong competition here!
Oh be’jesus, if that’s the case I really am buggered! LOL
I really like your kids. I really like that they are your kids!!
LOL… Sharing is caring Vincent and I’m all for caring, never been greedy me like!
I bow down to you. I DO NOT KNOW HOW YOU DO IT WITH MORE THAN ONE CHILD. Love your fridge. Mine is empty… which means shopping to be done. I won’t post a picture just at the mo.
Smile & wave, smile & wave! I also occasionally pretend they are not mine, such as recently when Axel flicked the bird at an old dear outside the school, she looked at my mate who was holding his hand, and shook her head! I was weak!
Yes loads of goodies in the fridge to gorge, especially if you like broccoli! :/
hilarious. I too dread the times when I have to take all 3 kids to the store with me. It is pure hell. This made me laugh out loud. Thanks! I’m following now.
Oh welcome my friend and fellow mum of three! As soon as I walk through the electric doors, I see the raised eyebrows! lol
I’m off to check your blog out now!

Oh Yes we always have at least 2 toilet stops, Victoria has frequented the loos in places that apparently don’t even have public toilets!
