healthy start scheme

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?

When my daughter dropped 11.5% of her bodyweight only three days after her birth, we had to spend a few days in hospital. I was struggling to get her tocontinue reading…

avon gingerbread hand wash

When I visited my family in law and tried their Avon gingerbread hand wash, I fell in love and had to discover how to buy a large 5L bottle because the scent is just lovely. Faith in Nature hand washes are also nice, but they can cost over £25 for 5L bottle size. Faith in Nature products have become too expensive, for my liking. Avon Gingerbread Hand Wash is Part of the Gingerbread Collection Checkcontinue reading…
