Making Summer Changes Around The House

The summer seems to be here now, but I have no idea how long it will last! In the summer we want to open up our house to declutter and let the fresh air in. I don't know about you but I like to really change the way of my front room and make it fresher, newer looking and airy. There are lots of simple ways of doing this and when you read this blog post you will wonder why you had never done these things before.

Get organised by getting a plastic box and filling it with a tape measure to measure space for rearranging the furniture. A ruler for drawing straight lines if you have some DIY to do. A couple of pencils, some sheets of paper, a sharpie and a dusting rag. Keep this handy so you can grab things as you need them.

The True Cost Of Being A single Parent

Being a single parent is hard when there is only one wage coming into the house, or even worse a parent that can't work due to children commitments where there is no wage coming in and they are relying on Universal Credits.

It is a common knowledge that food banks are strained more throughout school holidays because the parents that rely on free school meals are struggling to find the money to feed their own kids in the school break. Luckily some areas, like ours runs a lunchtime meal service for parents that are struggling. A school will open at lunchtimes and parents go to meet other parents and get a cooked meal.
