I love shopping in Mothercare but I just find their clothes quite expensive, to be honest when you…read morehave a baby at first you want to buy all the expensive clothes then you realise how they've hardly worn any thing more than twice before they need another size. So I really dont ever go in mothercare for clothes and within a couple of weeks theyve grown out of, within 2 minutes of wearing it they've up-chucked all over it. Go to a certain well know cheap clothes shop and if it gets dirty or stained, in can go in the bin and you just havent wasted £15 down the pan.

I recently came across this deliciously light cream in its pretty (and quite practical) tin. You can choose from a range of designs to suit your mood, or the recipient, if you're after a gift. Reasonably priced (for quality skin care) at around £10 (in spite of the costly rose, neroli and chamomile oils it contains) it's economical enough to use on your face and body. Because the texture is light, it's rapidly absorbed, yet still quite moisturising. My pretty tin arrived promptly and well-packaged.

One bad thing about the shop is the delivery time, as for example, our sofas took about 10 weeks to arrive, and when you consider the amount of money which you are paying, it doesn't really seem a particularly fair deal.

It's as if you walk in and magicly will find the item they stock will suit your needs or wants. No seemingly obvious choice of colours. It reminds me a bit of an expensive market, or garage sale.

It is only a small shop and sells mainly glass, decorations & candles. Offering a wonderful gift wrapping service. For some reason I always go before Christmas, it is like some kind of Masochism. Every year, after vowing not to spend money & to dig out the old decorations from the loft, I go. The ideas that this place have just makes me want to chuck every thing out & start again. Not just at Christmas but Easter & summer as well. It isn't the choice or the volume it is the creativity, the imagination, the flair. The prices are really reasonable & the staff friendly. There is some parking on the road but also signposted car parks.
