Here is part three (the final part) of the green living series, so you can brighten your horizons:Carrie is expecting a baby. She's talking to her friend Gillian on the phone.
Carrie: Did you use disposable nappies with your two?
Gillian: Well, we did with Tom. With Isabel, we changed to reusable ones, though.
Carrie: Would you do that again?
Gillian: Yeah, I think so. It's a hassle, but you get through a hell of a lot of nappies, and they're not exactly cheap. We also went off the oils and the powders with Isabel.
Carrie: Why's that?
Gillian: Well, they're loaded with chemicals, aren't they? The best thing is olive oil. It's cheap. It's natural.
Carrie: You mean the same stuff you have in the kitchen?
Gillian: Yeah. And above all, it's not perfumed. All these baby products smell the same.
Explanations:
it's a hassle (informal)- something is difficult : Getting to work today was a real hassle.
a hell of a lot of (informal)-emphasizes a large number
go off something (informal)- lose interest in something
loaded with (informal)- a stronger equivalent of "full of"
