Thank you to @Tesco for continuing to work on this range for families like mine ❤️
Tesco Junior Nappies are all grown up. They're now available in Junior Plus sizes. Here’s the story of how our continued collaboration with one mum @LauraRutherford changed nappies for the better. With a little help from Tesco. #EveryLittleHelps

Please note that the hoist is currently out of order at the @StEnochCentre in Glasgow. The venue has arranged for an engineer to fix it. In the meantime, the closest Changing Places toilet is at Glasgow Central Railway Station.

Oliver should be sleeping safely in his own bed, instead he lays in a grave
