At your first midwife appointment, did they mention the healthy start scheme and that you can claim £4.25 per week from week ten of your pregnancy? I wasn’t told this until week twenty-five by my local community midwife and they don’t do back payments, so this was a significant loss. Because my partner and are on ESA too, it was a nightmare to claim. None of the emails work or were responded too, healthy.start@nhsbsa.nhs.uk orcontinue reading…

breastfeeding

As a new mom, I had no idea that breastfeeding support would be so lacking, and it’s such a shame that most so-called breastfeeding ‘specialists’ or ‘experts’ are lacking in the compassion and support that a new mom needs to continue with the breastfeeding journey.

No doubt you have heard of the Hotel Chocolat velvetiser, which will make you a cup of creamy hot chocolate. I don’t love chocolate that much, but the chocolates by Hotel Chocolat are pretty delicious. I’m a fan of the cappuccino selector box and I can easily devour six of their chocolates in five minutes. In fact, I think the selector boxes, with its huge variety of chocolate varieties to choose from, are better valuecontinue reading…

I first moved to Quidco after Top Cashback was no longer tracking my purchases consistently. No one can fool us when we use cashback sites like Quidco and Top Cashback, because we know that we have clicked through to them, and when it doesn’t go through and you have to make a manual claim, which can take up to six months, only then to be declined, it pees me off. Merchants like Hotel Chocolat through continue reading…

Did you ever sign up to the Spotify car thing, and you are still waiting to learn if this product even exists? Well, what if I told you that you could control your music very easily via your mobile phone connected to your bluetooth speaker in your car through the built in Alexa smart speaker on Amazon Music Unlimited.

This is my third post as an affiliate marketer for Lintro. Once I’ve tried something (and loved it), I’ll always look for an affiliate sign up link. So I’ve tried candles, soy wax melts, and water aroma diffusers in my home, but once I discovered the Lintro waterless aroma diffuser, of which you just add a 5ml or 10ml bottle of pure essential oil, and turn it on, the Lintro diffuser sprays a fine mistcontinue reading…

Are you like me, and pregnant over 40? I got pregnant just before my 42nd birthday and I’m currently 32+5 days. Do you hate the unhealthy stigma that comes with being pregnant over 40? I do.
