How to make a Trash Pack out of Trash

First day back to school after the Christmas Holidays. I brought down the empty toilet rolls ready to go into the recycling and had to rush off to work. When I came back the kids had made Trash Packs out of the empty brown toilet roll holders. Daddy was in charge of the kids for a few hours till I got back and they entertained themselves. How inventive I thought, so I just had to create a little…

A mum's runt: Shame on British Banks - make them give back to our children!

I am glad the Government are stamping down on the Banks for paying themselves huge bonuses. Banks are greedy, selfish people with no family values or morals when it comes to our poor children. I want the Bank of Scotland to take a good hard look at my little girl’s house full of damp and toxic black mould which affects her and my Asthma. And tell them that they have the money and power to…

Toxic Black Mould damp house - the story of a mum and a daughter in need

It is 1.30 am in the morning and I cannot sleep because my chest is so tight. Puff, puff, puff on the Ventolin inhaler and it does not seem to make my breathing any easier. My concern is, if I am feeling this ill then what damage is the Toxic Black Mould doing to my little girl who also suffers from Asthma. She has had a consistent Asthma cough for far too long and never ending colds. We are both…

How to make a Birthday Card "Met any morons lately?"

It is my friend’s birthday next month so I decided to make her a personalised card. She is in her 30s and still single. My friend would make a fantastic Mum but you guessed it, meeting a decent man is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The birthday card design started off with the usual girly stuff, handbags and shoes. But as I glanced over at one of my little girls…

Child abuse and how Mums can stop it!

This is my first blog on the London Mums’ website. And I wanted to start it with a powerful message, and that is that only Mums can stop child abuse. A real father will fight to make changes to the Internet so that adult sites are a paid for service, which is well away from families and children. How many real fathers do you know? Adult sites open the doors to bad sites that abuse children.
