‘We took our daughters to a different pamper shop and afterwards I thought "Gosport could do with something like that.”

‘We’re always together anyway so I thought we could work together well. My sister’s husband said he would fund it all and we thought we would just go for it.’

Corrina said: ‘I’m excited and a bit nervous but I’m sure everything will go well. We’ve both got young families and we decided this was the best way to go about it. It’s something we feel that our kids would enjoy and we can work around our children.’

‘After the first few months we could probably do with a couple of employees so hopefully we can offer someone a job which would be nice - especially if we could get someone who was in the same position as us.’
