Bringing A Pet Into Your Family by Kate Duggan kateduggan.co.uk

Pets can bring a lot of fun, laughter and comfort to a child’s life. Elizabeth Kilbey, from Channel 4’s Secret Life of 4 Year Olds, says: “Research from BMC Psychiatry has revealed that interacting or simply being in the presence of animals has a soothing effect on children, reducing their heart rate and skin temperature. Spending time with furry friends, and stroking, cuddling and caring for them, can release comforting endorphins.� All animals need care and attention, but some require more than others. Birds, for instance, need to have their cages cleaned out once a week and their food and water changed daily. Dogs need at least one walk a day (often more) and most don’t like to be left alone for more than four hours at a time. The age of your children will play a big part in choosing the right pet for your family. A big, boisterous puppy could easily knock a toddler over, for example, and won’t take kindly to having its tail pulled, and some breeds of hamster are too small and fast for young children to handle. 10

You’ll need to factor in the cost of food, any regular medications, pet insurance, potential vet’s bills and accessories such as cat litter and toys. Depending on your circumstances and the type of animal you choose, there may also be other costs involved, such as paid dog-walking services or cattery costs. Once you’ve decided what type of animal you want, you’ll QHHG WR Ă€QG WKH SHW WKDW¡V ULJKW for you. Rescue centres are a JRRG Ă€UVW SRUW RI FDOO DV WKH\ should be able to tell you what age group a pet can live with, whether it’s house-trained, how long it can be left alone for, and so on. If you’re planning to buy a puppy, it’s sensible to choose a breeder that’s registered with the Kennel Club, as they have to adhere to strict ethical and health criteria. Less reputable breeders don’t always provide the level of healthcare they should, which means you could end up with large vet’s bills in the future. If you’re not able to care for a pet full-time, you could look at ‘borrowing’ one for walks and play. It’s worth asking around to see if any of

your neighbours need some extra help. Or check out The Cinnamon Trust (www. cinnamon.org.uk), which puts volunteer dog walkers in touch with pet owners who need support. There’s also Borrow My Doggy (www. borrowmydoggy.com), which connects dog walkers and pet sitters with pet owners. Lots of animal rescues also need people to foster pets long or short term. Find out more www.pdsa.org.uk has an easy guide to choosing the right animal for your circumstances, and advice on a range of pets, from chickens to horses. www.rspca.org.uk has advice on everything from settling a new pet into a home to coping with any behaviour issues. www.dogstrust.org.uk has lots of downloadable IDFWVKHHWV LQFOXGLQJ D OHDà HW that helps parents to keep their children safe around dogs. www.thekennelclub.org.uk has advice about choosing a puppy and a list of all registered breeders.

Finance

By Ann Haldon

How to manage the cost of entertaining the kids this summer (not to mention back-to-school expenditure) financial trouble. <RX·UH QRW risking the roof over your head and will still be able to buy the groceries to feed your family.

If you’re worried about the cost of entertaining your children this summer, you’re not alone. It’s been estimated the average family spends £389 on entertaining the kids during the summer holidays.¹ Ecommerce marketplace Groupon surveyed 3,000 parents and found that 9% started planning and saving for the school summer holidays up to six months beforehand. Furthermore, 35% of parents had to cut back on their everyday spending at the end of the summer because they’d spent too much during the school holidays.¹ So in the light of this, what can you do to ease your financial situation at this time of year? Here are just a few ideas to help you manage the cost of entertaining the children and deal with the inevitable back-toschool expenditure. Prioritise your spending Prioritising essential outgoings, such as rent, mortgage payments or council tax, allows you to steer clear of serious 12

It’s so easy to get carried away when you’re planning activities with the kids and spend money that’s already allocated somewhere else. Don’t assume you’ll be able to catch up with priority payments later on, however – once you start getting behind with these, it won’t be long before you’re in serious debt. Make a budget By carefully budgeting before the summer begins, you may find areas where you can cut back. Knowing exactly where your money goes means you can consciously reduce your outgoings wherever possible, and potentially find some extra money to spend on taking the kids for a day out. Perhaps there are one or two subscriptions that could be cancelled, for example, or a cheaper supermarket that you could try, plus getting into the habit of cooking meals from scratch when you’re at home will save some money in its own right, and is a good precedent to set for the whole year.

Find free or low-cost activities in your area Make full use of the internet by searching for free activities in \RXU DUHD <RX VKRXOG EH DEOH to find a few deals on days out, or coupons and vouchers for money off entry to kids’ attractions. Theme parks can be particularly expensive for families, but with a ‘2 for 1’ offer on admissions, or a meal deal when you’re there, you’ll all enjoy a great day out without it breaking the bank. The best ideas for free activities depend on how old your children are, but could include such pursuits as story time at the local library, walks or bike rides in the countryside, or hopscotch and skipping games. Make some extra money <RX FDQ PDNH D VXUSULVLQJ amount of money by selling unwanted items on the internet. Children’s clothes and toys are great sellers, for example, but also books and CDs. Online questionnaires and surveys are also a good way for you to earn a little more, and these can be completed from the comfort of your own home after the children have gone to bed. Get the children involved with money If your children are old enough you can introduce them to the realities of managing money, albeit with small amounts at first. They’ll begin to understand that money is finite,

It’s never too early to plan ahead financially – even getting ready for next summer. By planning well ahead you’ll have a rough idea of how much the summer holidays will cost and can put a little bit of money aside in advance.

• Buying school uniform towards the end of the summer holidays is a good idea. Children grow so quickly and this way you can also make sure they get the most wear out of their uniform.

What about back-to-school costs? The cost of school uniforms and all the other ancillary bits and pieces the children need for the new term can be the final straw for your finances at the end of the summer holidays, so what can you do to help yourself financially in this respect?

• Some schools operate second-hand uniform sales when the end of the holidays is approaching – this can offer huge savings as you don’t have to buy new items.

• If you have more than one

• Giving a slightly older child some money to buy their own stationery or other school items can teach them about money management, particularly if you let them

keep the change. For families on low incomes, dealing with school summer holiday costs adds stress to an already challenging financial situation. Keeping the children entertained can be expensive, but with a little planning and budgeting, hopefully it won’t impact too heavily on family finances at this time or during the rest of the year.

Beauty Staying Safe In The Sun by Kate Duggan www.kateduggan.co.uk

Don’t know your UVA from your UVB? Worried about a mole? Want to be prepared in case you get sunburnt? This guide is for you‌ First up – the difference between UVA and UVB. Both are types of ultraviolet radiation that can increase your risk of getting skin cancer. UVA rays prematurely age skin, leading to more wrinkles and pigmentation. UVB rays are the ones that actually burn. ‘SPF’ is short for sun protection factor. The higher the number, the better the protection. The British Association of Dermatologists recommends choosing a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or over. However, the SPF only relates to UVB rays, not UVA rays. So you’ll need to look for a broad spectrum sunscreen that protects against both types of ultraviolet radiation. You then need to apply it at least 15 minutes before going outside, and reapply it at least every two hours. Weleda’s Edelweiss Sunscreen Facial Lotion protects against both UVA and UVB, has an SPF of 30 and is packed with skinfriendly ingredients, such as organic coconut and jojoba oils. It’s suitable for all skin types and smells rather lovely, with subtle notes of citrus and lavender. Priced at ÂŁ13.95, the lotion can be bought online from www.weleda.co.uk. If you do forget to slap on the sunscreen, aloe vera can help to soothe sunburnt skin 20

Not all aloe vera gels are created equally, however. Some contain very little actual aloe vera, so do check the ingredients list. Dr. Organic Aloe Vera Gel is a good choice. It has an instant cooling effect, is hypoallergenic and helps to restore hydration. The gel costs £5.59 from Holland & Barrett. 'R \RX VXIIHU IURP SULFNO\ KHDW RU ÀQG you only have to look at the sun to go red? Trilogy’s Very Gentle Calming Serum is worth a try. It’s specially IRUPXODWHG WR UHGXFH LQà DPPDWLRQ DQG irritation. As the name suggests, it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough for even sensitive skin. Ingredients include aloe vera, green tea, chamomile, sweet almond oil and evening primrose oil. The serum costs £29.50 from Boots or www.trilogyproducts.co.uk. If you’re worried about a mole or other changes to your skin, it’s always best to book in to see your GP. In the meantime, The British Association of Dermatologists’ ABCD-Easy guide details the main things to look for: • Asymmetry: the two halves of the area may differ in shape. • Border: the edges of the area may be irregular or blurred, and sometimes show notches. • Colour: this may be uneven. Different shades of black, brown and pink may be seen. • Diameter: most melanomas are at least 6mm in diameter. Report any change in size, shape or diameter to your doctor. • Expert: if in doubt, check it out! If your GP is concerned about your skin, make sure you see a Consultant Dermatologist. Your GP can refer you via the NHS. For more information about protecting your skin check out www bad org uk

Home & Interiors Wonder Walls

By Katherine Sorrell as a noticeboard. Convention has it that you hang the same type of wallpaper vertically all around a room. But if you feel like being daring, create a feature by papering just one wall, or choose different colourways of the same pattern to use in different areas. You could even hang your wallpaper horizontally, or mix up the designs to create a hand-crafted, bohemian effect.

A change of wallcovering can transform cold into cosy, boring into beautiful and out of date into ultra-cool. Our lowdown is sure to give you some exciting ideas.

IDEAS FOR FEATURE WALLS • Transform your wall with peel-off stickers. They come in all sorts of divine designs from simple shapes to complex illustrations. • Wallpaper with an oversized pattern and vivid colours may well be too much for a whole room, but makes a great focal point on just one wall. • Think paint effects are passÊ? Not when you try modern, graphic ideas such as bold horizontal stripes or an ombrÊ/dip dye look. • Large maps (old or new) are attractive and educational. Simply paste straight on to the wall. Try sheet music and wrapping paper, too. • Take any digital image and have it enlarged to cover an entire wall. Eye-poppingly gorgeous. • Use a variety of vintage wallpaper samples as a colourful collage. Combine with paint, too, if you wish.

GET THE LOOK: SUNSHINE STYLE • A calm and relaxed vibe is the essence of coastal chic, and colour and texture go a long way towards achieving this. Go all white everywhere, or else think pale paintwork with accents of grey, beige and – of course – blue. Add some touches of natural wood for a lovely contrast. • Bring the outside in by including gorgeous natural elements. Driftwood is perfect, as are shells and coral (ethical, of course). Add some rope, wicker and maybe seagrass, coir or jute for a lovely contrast of textures. • It’s all about the light. Coastal homes are airy and breezy, so maximise light at the windows E\ KDQJLQJ ÀOP\ FXUWDLQV RU ZKLWH SDLQWHG ZRRGHQ EOLQGV DQG DUUDQJH DUWLÀFLDO OLJKWLQJ VR WKDW D FHQWUDO SHQGDQW LV VXSSOHPHQWHG E\ D YHUVDWLOH VHOHFWLRQ RI ZDOO WDEOH DQG à RRU ODPSV ‡ &KRRVH IDEULFV IRU WKHLU FULVS RU à RDW\ IHHO 6LPSOLFLW\ LV NH\ VR RSW IRU OLQHQ PXVOLQ DQG WLFNLQJ HLWKHU SODLQ RU ZLWK D VWULSH %ROG VWULSHV DUH PRUH QDXWLFDO ZKLOH EDUHO\ WKHUH VWULSHV are more utilitarian – either way, the look is completely charming.

Life Begins Back to stay (and not just for the weekend)

When, in November 2017, the Chancellor announced relief on Stamp Duty SD\PHQWV IRU Ă€UVW WLPH buyers, it’s likely that millions of parents across the UK breathed a sigh of relief. It is estimated that 3.4 million parents in the UK are living with grown up children who’ve returned to the family home, and these mums and dads may have hoped the tax incentive would be the nudge their offspring needed WR Ă€QDOO\ Ă \ WKH QHVW The phenomenon of socalled ‘Boomerang Kids’ (adults who return to the parental home after living independent lives) hit the headlines recently when the London School of Economics and Political Science carried out research with parents aged between 50 and 75 from seventeen different European countries. The study, published in the journal Social Science and 38

Medicine, examined the effects on quality of life for older people who shared a house with a grown up child. Researchers looked at factors such as freedom to enjoy yourself, to make your own decisions and control your environment, and the results were disturbing. The academics who authored the study didn’t pull their punches when it came to their conclusions: “We found that parents’ experienced a decline in quality of life when one of their children returned to live with them,â€? they stated, adding: “Parents enjoy their independence when their children leave the KRPH DQG UHĂ€OOLQJ DQ HPSW\ nest may be regarded as a violation of this life course stage.â€? The ‘Boomerang’ experience So how does it feel when you’re asked to provide bed and board for a grown up child after they’ve lived independently for several years? Marsha Okafor was initially pleased and excited when her 23-year-

old daughter Leah asked to return home so she could VDYH IRU D GHSRVLW RQ D Ă DW However, after two years she found that the effort of sharing her tiny Birmingham apartment with her daughter was putting a strain on their relationship.

“It’s the little things, like the time she spends in the bathroom, and asking friends round when I all I want is a quiet evening in front of the telly,� Marsha sighs. “I love my daughter, but having her here effectively puts my own life on hold. I had plans to move closer to my sisters in Nottingham, but I can’t do that while Leah needs to live in Birmingham for her work.� Jane and Phillip Leahy experienced similar problems when their son Mark asked to spend a few weeks at their home as he was between jobs and couldn’t afford his rent. The weeks turned into years and although Mark found another job, he showed no sign of wanting to leave.

“Mark’s 33 now, but his life follows the same pattern it did when he was a teenager,� Phillip explains. “He spends hours in his bedroom, playing computer games, and expects us to cook for him and do his laundry. He does pay us something towards

his food, but it doesn’t compensate for the feeling that our home isn’t quite our own any more. I think we’re partly to blame: we’ve taken away his motivation to build a life of his own.” Preparing the ground for your child’s return The biggest mistake reported by people who have been through the ‘boomerang’ experience is that they didn’t discuss the terms of the arrangement before their child moved back in. This is the time to establish the ground rules and set clear goals for the end of their stay. It may seem insensitive to talk about leaving before your child has even moved back in, but acknowledging this as

a temporary arrangement will help them hold on to a sense of independence. If your child has a job, you should agree upfront on the amount they will contribute towards the household bills. If they are not working you could ask them to help in various ways, such as cleaning, shopping or tending the garden. Discuss how things will work if your child invites friends round, and which rooms are off-limits at those times. It may be less stressful if you restrict visits to certain days or hours. Finally – and most importantly – it’s vital to treat your child as the adult they have become. In the years they

have been living away from you, it’s likely they will have established a lifestyle that’s very different to the family life you shared together, so give them space and don’t be tempted to ‘parent’ them in the way you used to do. Whatever your child’s reason for returning home may be, it’s likely that this is just a phase, after which they will once again be able to lead an independent life. Handled carefully, this episode may even strengthen the bonds between you and your son or daughter, creating a tighter family unit that will go on providing mutual support far into the future.
