BITS AND PIECES

The tips and tricks that will change your life this week

MOVIE MAYHEM

GOOD news for movie buffs — Odeon cinemas have introduced the Limitless card, which entitles the holder to unlimited movies at any of their 11 cinemas from €19.99 per month. This means you can see all of the most anticipated movies of the year.

MUM’S THE WORD

RESEARCH by Nurofen for Children shows that almost half of new mums do not know at what temperature a fever begins, (37.8°C). TV presenter and first-time mum Maia Dunphy has helped launch Nurofen for Children #FeverFighters campaign with one-year-old Sam McCarthy.

THE Nurofen for Children app will be available later this month to help mums and dads.

PATRIOT GAMES

ST PATRICK’S Day wouldn’t be complete without donning our national colour, and Aldi are on the case with a range of flags, hats and badges. Bring out the patriot in you with the Green and White Jester Hat (€2.49, pictured) or get creative with some Irish Flag Face Paint (99c per pack).

RAISE A GLASS

IF YOU are raising a glass to commemorate the Easter Rising, there’s no more appropriate drink than Arthurstown Brewing Company’s 1916 Proclamation Porter. This old-school Irish stout is brewed from native grains, grown in the very soil those brave Wexford men and women pledged to liberate. Expect notes of chocolate and coffee.

ON THE HUNT

EVERYONE loves an Easter Egg hunt, and this one in Merrion Square is in aid of Barnardo’s. The Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt will run on Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26. As well as having a hopping good time on the hunt, families can eggsplore the Easter Bunny’s village with lots of activities planned.
