OMG! We've won a pushchair! (18th May)

OMG!!! We've won a brand spanking new Maclaren pushchair, carseat and rocker too!! Woohoo!!
I'm so happy today, My boyfriends mum, nan and i all entered the Maclaren competition at the baby show on friday and his nan got a call this morning to tell her that she'd won!
My boyfriend is a Blackpool fan (don't hold it against him, lol) so he loves the orange. These pictures really don't do it justice, i'll have to actually take some proper photos when i get my hands on it. I still can't believe it, its worth about £440!
This is the pushchair that i liked the most when i was looking as its got a front and back suspension and will last until out little one is a bit older too. It's not like some of the big bulky travel systems that i've seen. Yey!!

The Baby Show

I won 2 tickets in a competition on The Baby Show Facebook group and then i bought one for about £11 i think so i could go with my boyfriend's mum and nan. We went early ish (got there just after 10am) It took us about an hour to get there from here in oxfordshire so not bad at all really.

We got some great freebies including:
- Persil washing powder and comfort fabric softener - went back a few times for these.
- Herbal nappy rash cream, big tube
- A lovely baby towel from SMA
- Loads of huggies nappies (although these were for about 6 months).
- A Car Shade, baby spoon and lovely fabric bag from the government/money people
- A sample size bottle of Johnson's baby shampoo and sachet of baby lotion.
- Nurofen medicine syringes
- Some sample sachets of Avent Baby Shampoo, Body Cream and breast pads.
- A 7 pack of pregnacare tablets, sample sachet of cream and a pen.
- Infant Neck Roll and another fabric bag

Offer wise i subscribed to a Prima Pregnancy and baby magazine for £20 (normally £35) and got 6 free Tommee Tippee baby bottles with powdered milk holders that fit inside the bottles so you can make them up on the go, and 2 dummies (which is also worth £30 too) - bargain!

My also got a Winnie the Pooh Moses basket, A gorgeous cot bedding set with a hedgehog and bee on it and a matching baby sleeping bag. Some Tommee Tippee thermos bottle covers to use whilst out and teething toys which were half price. A gorgeously soft teddy and a few other little bits. lol. We did stop for a cup of tea at the Babycentre sponsored Cravings Cafe and we all had a jacket potato for lunch from the main restaurant.

All in all we all had a lovely time and my boyfriend's mum and nan both really enjoyed it too.
