Comment on Wee problem has stylish new solution by M Lucas

Wow what a great idea, I received one of the free Brolly sheets and it is fantastic! It is a king single size and fits a double bed as well as a single, it is easy to fit and remove, it stays in place with the tuck in flaps and it is easy to wash and dry! What more could I ask for.
Well done to who ever thought of this idea I will be reccommending them to anyone who is pregnant or looking to toilet train their little ones. The brolly sheet will also be useful if my child is poorly.
Thank you so much for my WONDERFUL Brolly sheet. x

Hi being a working mum and running a business that supports working parents I am very interested in this subject. Choosing the correct childcare that can be flexible and grow with the needs ( and income ) of the business. As a single mum that has grown her business organicaly whilst single handedly bringing up two children I know first hand the issues both busines practicle and emotionalthat running your own business has. Freedom specialised in ad hoc flexiable home based care that can be OFSTED registered so families can claim back up to 80% through tax credits. I would love to be involved in what you are doing!!!

Comment on National Youth Theatre Auditions now open! by Sheridan Parsons

Hi Stef, I’m afraid that we can’t pass your question on to the National Youth Theatre. I suggest that you contact them yourself on info@nyt.org.uk. I’m afraid I don’t think it’s likely that they would accept someone at 12. Good luck with your ambitions, though, you sound very determined and that is half the battle!

What a great competition for children! I was just thinking about buying my 4 year old, Wilbur, a camera, when news of this competiton dropped into my inbox! I was trying to decide between the Kid Tough and the V-Tech camera, but I think this competition may have clinched the decision! What do you think of these cameras?
