'Are you sure that all of these are for use by serious athletes, Madam?'Major excitement for all DW parents! Our local 'One Stop' convenience store has triple packs of proper Jaffa cakes for sale at HALF PRICE!!!
Get yourselves down there immediately, and stock up fast before they all run out!
I never used to get terribly excited about Jaffas, but they are such a staple for events such as DW that I am always on the look out for good deals. I did get some serious questions at the till about the volume that I was buying though - for some bizarre reason no-one ever believes the response that they are for use by some serious athletes!
The shopping list is taking shape nicely. I includes the following items (but no Jaffas now that they are safely purchased, ready to be packed):
- Lots of blister plasters - for Chris's hands, if last year is anything to go by
- Several gallons of Lucozade Sport (although I will be trying out the DIY recipes as well)
- Numerous big bottles of the cheapest still water that our best supermarkets can provide
- Paracetamol and ibuprofen (but I promise to tell teacher if they are needed by the paddlers - do you think they need to know how many the parents take?)
- Tins of rice pudding and custard - my son, Alex, rather likes these for evening snacks
- More than a few bags of chewy sweets such as fruit pastilles (more funny looks at the till)
- Sterilising tablets or liquid - a long time since I visited the baby department of a supermarket, but Milton is very useful especially if your paddler has gone swimming with their Camelback on!

PS I wonder if McVities would consider sponsoring the team one year???
