    Well done Moonpenny :T

    About insurance I've found something called c.m.t.i.a www.cmtia.co.uk and they have insurance for us at 47.00 pa I think it's good if anyone else can't offer us the PLI if you will find sth let me kow

    I was in B&M yesterday and they have lovely toys white moon with a star (when you pull it plays lulaby) a bear is on the moon in pink or blue hat. It was soooo cute and I had no more money :( it was 2,99 each tehy also had new type of blanket similar to the primark one soooo soft :)

    I've sold my firs ever nappy pram as i can't use photobucket (don't know what happened) I will put link from my facebook page

    Love the nappy pram! you dont happen to have instructions at all do you?
  • No I didn't do any phootos sorry but can write how i did it if you'll anderstand what i mean :)
    I've took 30 pampers from the pack and tied them with a big band that it could stay close then I had put the towel on the table and put all the nappies on the middle of the towel. then i've rolled sides to stay 1 cm higher than nappies and put the front like a cosy blanket on the top . then I've rolled some nappies about 6 and put it on the back of pram like a head to cover with a hood - is it clear? then i secured it with a wide ribbon and that's all :) oh first I've used some pins that it stayed as I formed it.
    Hope that helps but i've found some example with photos in that forum so when I'l find it i'll add the link here

    Thanks natanat13 - so basically you got "proffesionals" to do the techi stuff. Thought that would be the case. Not ready for that stage yet but good to know.

    Me too COURIERS anyone?

    I just don't know how everyone affords to post cakes when the boxes alone cost a fortune and then Couriers on top. Most of the websites do delivery for less than I can cost it, so any hints / tips would be gratefully recieved.

    Cheapest couriers I have found and that I use are through parcel 2 go They use a variety of different couriers and offer different services. I've always done dhl through them and have had no problems at all.

    I have been looking at couriers, pay per parcel don't seem too bad but I haven't actually used them yet. For smaller items I'm going to use good old royal mail. I might even use them to post cakes as well, standard parcels up to 4 kg is £7 ish I think.

    I sorted my insurance. I had to have a dual trade policy which basically covers any market trader work, i.e stalls, fairs plus anything sold off the website, it was £78 which I didn't think was too bad for a dual policy and to be honest I don't have time to faf around looking at loads!
