Bang! And the dirt is gone!

In the wee hours of the morning I was laying awake. I was troubled by a question. Nothing trivial like: ‘How am I going to cope with the pain of labour?’ or ‘What is it like being a mother?’ Oh no. The big question which was keeping me awake was: ‘Can I buy Cillit Bang in Germany?’

In common with most heavily pregnant women my thoughts have turned to domestic chores. Grand style. Today I have already cleaned the bathroom, done the laundry and gone to the grocery store (TWICE) to stock up on cleaning products and tinned produce. I even made some cookie dough: half to bake now and half to freeze for an EMERGENCY! It’s not even midday. I am currently contemplating whether the stair carpet needs a clean this afternoon…

Last week my sister went through the same thing. She did some last minute planting of her allotment. She actually did clean her stairs. One day she washed the floor 5 times. So it appears that my current behaviour is in the realms of ‘normal’. Which is good, because I am not often perceived as normal.

Postscript:
There's a happy ending to this entry. You’ll be pleased to hear that when in the grocery store, the first time, I spied a very large bottle of Cillit Bang. Hurrah for this great product and hurrah for it being in Germany. I’m so pleased that I'm saying now that I'm available for the advert if they ever get rid of Barry Scott and his coin…
