Pushchair Trader Group Test

A few weeks ago I applied to go on a Pushchair Trader Group Test for Tandems and I was lucky enough to be chosen. The group test was in Boston Lincs where Pushchair Trader is based and me being from Derby and not being a driver I decided to go the day before and stay over night in a hotel so I didn't have to get the train at 6am. We stayed at the Premier inn in Boston in a Family room which consisted of a king size bed, Single bed and a put me up bed on  the floor it was super comfortable, clean and great value for money at only £62 for the night.


The Pushchair Trader Group Tandem test was at the Blackfriars Theatre and Arts centre, The day consisted of  using some fantastic tandem pushchair that could be use as singles and turned into doubles, the pushchairs that we was lucky enough to play with was, Mamma's and Papas Skate with junior seat, Icandy Peach/blossom, Britax B-duel, Phil and Teds verve, Mima kobi and  Baby jogger city select. We got a good play with them and even got to take some on a walk around Boston Town centre. Here is the official Pushchair Trader write up  http://www.pushchairtrader.co.uk/en/news/tandem-group-test/.

My favourites of the day was the Icandy and the Phil and Teds  but if you ask my 2.5 yrs old daughter she liked the Baby Jogger City select and the Skate!

My Life as Secret Agent

Time has come to come for me to tell the world about my time as a Pushchair Trader Secret Agent!!!!!!


About a month ago I applied to become a Pushchair Trader Secret Agent (PTSA) on their very friendly facebook page http://www.facebook.com/PushchairTrader and I was one of the lucky ones to be picked.

Life as a  PTSA is tough I have had to be a master of many disguises, I have also had to master a few other skills like jumping out planes, deep sea diving, braking in to high security building undetected, quick getaways on speed boats whilst pushing a top end Stokke evo. It has been very tough and I have almost been caught out many of times but some how managed to keep my identity a secret until NOW!!!!!!!

Our Mission as Pushchair Trader Secret Agents was to help the develop what their NEW on-line pushchair accessory shop should look like and stock!! It has been so much fun and the shop is AMAZING it stocks all sorts of pushchair accessory's including Pink Lining  and Il tutto changing bags, Bumprider  and Lascal Buggyboard, Hands free brolly and Mummy mits, Buggysnuggle and Cosyosko's and many many other things, It really is a Pram-a-holics dream shop!!!!!!!! Please visit it http://shop.pushchairtrader.co.uk/ You will not be disappointed also whilst on the site take the time to enter their fab competitions on their WIN PUSHCHAIRS tab (you never know you maybe a winner).

I have myself ordered from the shop and as I spent over £65 delivery was free and within a 1hr time slot (courier) I am very happy with my order and will use them again and again and again as they are so professional and friendly (I have been lucky enough to meet Jo and Helen at a group test) they will go out their way to help you. I am very loyal to Pushchair Trader as they really are a fantastic company!!!!

Starting School

My oldest started reception class on Tuesday, I can not believe how fast the time as gone only feels like a week ago that I held him for the first time.
L is a very nervous child so we have been talking about starting school all through the holidays and made a big deal about buying his uniform so when it came to the morning he was very excited, when we got to school he was a little nervous and so was I but he went in with no tears and a smile on his face. I found it the longest 6,5 hours of my life and couldn't wait to see him and see how he got on, he came out very tired and cried because I didn't bring a drink then gave me a big hug and said I missed you mummy. He has now done three whole days and although very tired he seems to be enjoying it and says the best thing about school is the dinners in his own words "mummy dinners are yummy, why aren't yours". So I'm now off to buy some cook books and use them 6.5 hours that I miss him to learn to cook yummy dinners.
