Let Me hold your Basket!
I know, I know – many of you won’t be sympathetic about my double pushchair in shops difficulties – I should never leave the house with my kids and should buy all my groceries, clothes and home furnishings online. Well, you may not sympathise, but one kind chap did. There I was struggling with a double pushchair in the queue at Tesco Express, weaving around to the till, balancing a basket, fielding a ‘free-styling’ toddler (released from the pram), when suddenly it was my turn and I was having great difficulty manoeuvring the pushchair, loose child and basket behind a trolley of stock that had been left in the most ridiculous, inconvenient place by the tills. I could sense the queue forming behind me and could feel my blood pressure rising when I heard a voice behind me say “Would you like me to pass your basket over to you?” My Saviour! I managed to get to the till, he passed my basket over and most of the people in the queue looked relieved on my (and their own) behalf. If only someone could hold my basket and someone else could push my pram (and chase my toddler) every time I’m out shopping, life would be far less stressful!

I live in Spain and went to Mango (a clothes shop) recently with my baby in a pushchair. Having spotted something in the window I asked where I could find it in the shop, only to be told that it was upstairs which was inaccessible for me with the pushchair.
When she realised my dilemma, she sent someone to get the right size for me, which was really nice.
I am sometimes surprised that people are not more helpful to be honest, it is no easy task with kids in tow to do your shopping!
