Matthew has now been dropped off at pre-school and Niamh and Joe are in town.

They firstly head to the Ann Summers shop and get it done and out the way, "so come on babe pick" Joe smiles and holds her waist from behind.

She stands there and looks at them "they don't have my size" she mumbles.

"What size babe? Come on I'm sure I can help" he smiles.

"Size eight, well I can fit into some 6's" Niamh replies.

"Oh come on look towards the back" he suggests.

"No Joe they're bigger sizes" she says.

Joe laughs and smiles "oh here's one... ooo look very lacey" he smiles.

"Joe you do realise my cup size is a whole different story... it's not in that type of sizes" she explains and Joe looks at her completely baffled by her.

"Right so my underwear is that size I've picked up but the cup size would be massive, I need a 30C" she tries to explain in simple terms for him.

Joe just nods and tries to understand what she's saying. "Right well what about that one" he smiles as he reads the label.

Niamh laughs and takes it off the rail, "yeah this one will fit" she smiles.

"So you want it?" He asks. Niamh nods and gives him a cheeky smile.

They walk towards the counter and Niamh gets distracted and walks over to browse. Joe pays for it himself and then joins Niamh and just laughs, "come on babe you've got plenty of Ann Summers stuff at home" he jokes.

She takes hold of his hand and follows him out the shop. "Can't wait to see you in this later" he smiles.

"Later?!" Niamh says as she chokes on air.

"Yeah, come on it'll be fun" he mumbles as he takes hold of her hand.

"But Matthew, you know what he's like... he'll probably end up in our bed" Niamh says as they head to Waitrose.

"Shh, he hasn't done that in months. He did it last week because of the cold he had but he went back to his bed remember" Joe smiles as Niamh grabs a trolley.

"Fine" she smiles.

They go around the supermarket and Niamh gets her list out, "god you're like my mother" he laughs.

"I'm buying stuff we've already got in" she explains.

Joe nods and watches her looks at the list, "so what do we need?" Joe asks.

"Right we need, Milk Green cap not blue, butter, chocolate spread not Nutella Matthew hates it, strawberries and whipped cream, bread, tea bags, coffee, sandwich fillings and maybe potatoes" Niamh smiles.

Joe nods and picks up the bread and examines it before putting it in the trolley.

"Now you're like my mum" Niamh laughs.

"How?" Joe smirks.

"She examines her bread before buying it" she giggles as they head down to the milk.

She picks up some milk and Joe grabs the whipped cream and puts two in the trolley.

"Oh we only need one" Niamh says.

"It's on offer" Joe replies.

"Right" she nods.

They move down the isle and get what they need, "brown or white rice?" Joe asks as Niamh remembers they need rice.

"White and grab a small brown one" Niamh says.

Niamh pushes the trolley forwards and accidentally bumps into someone "careful Niamhy" Joe laughs.

"Sorry" Niamh smiles as they walk past them.

"Does your mum do that too?" He laughs and Niamh hits him playfully.
"Speaking of your mum isn't that her?" Joe asks.

"No my mum is in Ireland this..." Niamh stops herself as she sees her mum coming towards them with her dad too.

"Mum?" Niamh says and Barbara stops.

"Oh Niamh, how are we?" She smiles.

"You're meant to be in Ireland" Niamh replies in shock.

"well I've come to see you and Chloe, and anyway we've got wedding plans" she says.

"Yes but they're almost done" Niamh replies.

"Exactly and I want to help" Barbara smiles.

Niamh looks at her Dad and he shrugs as he hasn't got a say in this one, "oh right" Niamh smiles.

"Where's Matthew?" Barbara asks.

"He's at pre-school" Niamh replies as she looks at Joe.

"Oh are we fine to come round later and see him?" She asks.

"Yeah sure you are" Joe smiles happily.

"Oh right then we'll he round around 6, give you time to feed Matthew" Barbara smiles.

Niamh nods and looks down at the trolley. "Oh so what have you been up to today?" Brian asks.

"Shopping" she replies simply.

"Ooo what did you buy nice?" Barbara asks as she notices a few more bags.

Niamh looks st Joe and smiles, "lingerie" Joe says not thinking about what he has just said.

"Joe!" Niamh says as she elbows him.

"Oh delightful" Barbara says as she looks in their trolley and sees whipped cream and chocolate spread and instantly gets the wrong idea.

"Sorry" Joe mumbles to Niamh.

"On second thoughts you've probably got plans we'll come and see you tomorrow and see chloe today instead" she replies to Niamh and nudges Brian to start walking.
