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.

Fantastic customer service
I've just bought a new pushchair, a loola up from babyvalue on ebay which is actually dorel's (quinny, maxi cosi, kub ect) ebay shop and got a right bargain a new maxi cosi by bebe confort loola up in starlight grey for £74 posted and it came to me very quickly I'm very impressed with this seller it's like my 4th pushchair from them and happy every time!
Anyway my loola up has come and it is fantastic much better then the normal loola but the only thing that bugged me was the fact the harness is just so small for my 15 month old I would not be able to do it up with a big coat on him, so I email dorel through their contact tab on their facebook page and two days later they have ordered me harness extensions for free I'm very impressed.
This wasn't my first time dealing with their customer service department I once had a quinny buzz that I did love until once my brake got stuck on in the middle of town, once I got home at 4pm I emailed them to see if it needed to go in for repair. They emailed me back the next morning asking me for my phone number and with in an hour I had a phone call of one of their engineers talking me through how to fix it myself.
I have now decided I love Dorel products next on my list is the maxi cosi mura, quinny senzz and I've heard on the grapevine that there is a soon to be released new pushchair that I'm bound to want.
Thank you dorel I'm a very happy mummy well done.

Nabru sofa (self assembly)
Back in 2008 when I was pregnant with my second baby we had just moved into a new house and we decided with our new house we need new sofa's but with money being a bit tight we decided on the argos BOGOF offer on their leather sofa but me being pregnant in my brain as well as belly I ordered two two seater's instead of a three seater and two seater. We have put up with two small sofa's for three years and now we have three kids we no longer have enough places for the bums in our house so the hunt for a new sofa began.
We started the normal hunt for a sofa in the normal big sofa shops and decided we should get a corner unit but not wanting to spend over £2000 on a sofa when we have 3 young kids I took the hunt on line and came across Nabru self assembly sofa's and thought we would give it a go.
We ordered a high wide arm, 2 large seats on left side and a medium seat with chaise on the right side and a small foot stool in holland pecan (you can get free fabric samples on the website) all this came to £764 and we got to choose when it got delivered and could have had in in under a week not 12 weeks like other places.
It came on one pallet which I must say was taller then me but was packed really well and waterproof, but I was a little worried. We unloaded it and bought the bits in.
As you can see parts everywhere
I was surprised it only took me and Simon 3 hours to do it all and an hour of that was sorting parts out a labelling them.
All the bits simply just slot into each other and instructions was very good and easy to understand.
The only thing is the fascia fabric seemed a tiny bit to small and doesn't look fantastic but good enough and we will have another go at it
I am very impressed and shocked at how comfy it is.
This is the finished sofa

Our trip to Gullivers kingdom in matlock bath
With L starting school in September we decided to make the most of him not being in full time education and take one last chance to go on a family day trip in term time without the millions of people around in school holidays.
We choose gullivers as it is only a short train journey from Derby, this was the first time we have been on a train as a family as simon has always been at work the other times I've took the kids on it.
A day out did mean a chance to buy a new pushchair for the occasion I got the cosatto ditto twin (will do my review soon).
The journey took about 30 mins from Derby to matlock bath and the kids loved every second although every time we went through a tunnel Abs though a monster was going to get her.
The walk from from matlock bath train station takes about 10 minutes, just follow the river on your left until you get to the fishpond pub the just walk up the steep hill next to it.
The park is great for kids and if there over 90cm they can go on most rides with an adult in fact there is only two they can't go on as they must be over 110cm.
The park is also set on a hill side so your either walking up a hill or down not much flat ground so don't go if unable to walk well.
We had a fantastic day cost us £52 to get in as we only had to pay for the 4 of us as under 90cm are free. The food is rubbish though I recommend taking a pack lunch.

Mothercare urban detour double
I've just been on holiday with my kids and parents and they bought me a mothercare urban detour, I was a little worried as it is quite wide and heavy but I was actually impressed.
The good points
The good points
- Large seats
- Upright seats
- Individual reclining seats
- Massive basket
- Very easy one handed fold, just pull over red button and twist
- rain cover fits easy
- Bumper Bar
- Big foot plate for kids to rest their feet
- Nice big air wheels, was easy to push over sand
The bad points
- Larger then standard doors
- heavy folded but light to push
- Hood tiny doesn't give much protection from sun
Overall I give this pushchair 7/10 it is good value for money
