<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here in the UK, flies are only really a problem during the hottest part of summer, which can range from seemingly a couple of days, to several weeks, depending on how kind the British weather is feeling. This being the case, no one wants to spend a lot of money on swanky electric fly-zappers, or other costly and cumbersome gadgets, but flies are still irritating and gross, so what else works to prevent, or repel flies? Included in this post are some of the most effective and low-cost fly prevention and repellents available, all-natural, humane and pesticide free. Feel free to let me know in the comments if I'm missing any brilliant ideas, we need all the help we can get! <br>

Here's how I got on and I hope I haven't left it too late to pass on these ideas to anyone who could use them. The best part is, you can make this advent calendar for any age from toddlers to grown-ups who are probably too old for this nonsense, but why let details spoil the fun? <p></p><span></span><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2022/11/how-to-make-cheap-sustainable-book.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-20123715825976407472022-11-25T16:40:00.002+00:002022-11-28T01:02:43.884+00:00Small Business Christmas Gift Guide<br><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVBFyBh3e30GIujIJyFbAayIYuUO7CdKLaTncNf4kBF1G2GpTM7litBu6lu2x8zXwNGO5r-6Acjnp3KfN98pcgE4LuAWF4D-dpCwiTelBvAzsW9Fki5hbpC0QsznavDhkVVs2LvpOJ0lp2KfufNDGqBIHCz27bShYqhlIIBPWY5c5IBtX2JDgDX_m/s1080/Small%20Business.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPVBFyBh3e30GIujIJyFbAayIYuUO7CdKLaTncNf4kBF1G2GpTM7litBu6lu2x8zXwNGO5r-6Acjnp3KfN98pcgE4LuAWF4D-dpCwiTelBvAzsW9Fki5hbpC0QsznavDhkVVs2LvpOJ0lp2KfufNDGqBIHCz27bShYqhlIIBPWY5c5IBtX2JDgDX_m/w200-h200/Small%20Business.png" width="200"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Somehow the year has once again flown by and our attention is turning to Christmas. This is likely to be a tough one for many and I thought it would be nice to produce a guide to some of the small businesses and sole traders who are fighting against huge brands to be seen and heard in the marketplace. Many of us would like to support more small businesses, but it's not always easy to find them, so I'm hoping this will be a good place to start. I can update this guide at any time so if you know of a great small business that you have used or think could benefit from a shout-out, drop me a comment or email me via my contact page and I will add as many as I can. </div><p></p><span></span><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2022/11/small-business-christmas-gift-guide.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-74942807281858812562022-08-17T16:22:00.007+01:002022-11-25T16:43:03.832+00:00Hotel Deloix Review - Large Groups, Small Dupes, Stray Poop<br><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZpAtJscnYxGWQ88q5ZWW05ApWEYHZzln-B3LampO7IEjGllZ3emLABJg7x0ujMH9ldmzJ-y3FG4rKnP_tg29Rzu0QZxI2iR1InC0l8_tJaVQvPLBdme-VroWZd4KgHil9uKX8vgP9QGu4bpmoV2JiDh9aBT71X_BW1Hz_LLJob93_rIWQiDPxv93-/s1080/Review%20(1).png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Hotel Deloix Pool lit up at night" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZpAtJscnYxGWQ88q5ZWW05ApWEYHZzln-B3LampO7IEjGllZ3emLABJg7x0ujMH9ldmzJ-y3FG4rKnP_tg29Rzu0QZxI2iR1InC0l8_tJaVQvPLBdme-VroWZd4KgHil9uKX8vgP9QGu4bpmoV2JiDh9aBT71X_BW1Hz_LLJob93_rIWQiDPxv93-/w200-h200/Review%20(1).png" title="Deloix Aqua Center Review" width="200"></a></div>For our family holiday this year, we stayed at the Hotel Deloix Aqua Center in Benidorm. The hotel is about a mile from the beach, situated in a pleasant area that isn't noisy or busy but does benefit from a few shops and entertainment venues a short walk away. I had not intended to write a review, however, when I got home, I realised that I had quite a lot to say and an unsponsored review might be of benefit to anyone thinking of booking a break in Benidorm. This is why the photos are a bit more haphazard than I'd like, but I hope you can still get a feel of what you get for your money here. The hotel was booked as part of a package holiday, so I can't tell you the exact cost of our stay, but the hotel advertises rates of £157.49 per night for full board in June at the time of writing. </div><span></span><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2022/08/hotel-deloix-review-large-groups-small.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-90375345107169047332021-12-17T09:00:00.003+00:002021-12-20T12:13:34.731+00:0010 Ways To Survive Christmas without Gaining Weight<br>

Anyone who <a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2017/05/how-to-support-someone-who-is-unhappy.html">struggles with their weight</a> will know how hard it is to stay on track over Christmas. Temptation is everywhere; special offers in the shops, gifts from well-meaning friends, offerings at the school fete, the list is endless! Christmas these days seems to centre predominantly around food and there are no end of tempting treats that we feel compelled to buy in the shops, because it's traditional. No one wants to undo all their hard work in just a couple of weeks, though, so I've put together a list, with some ideas to keep us all motivated. If something has worked for you, feel free to comment below!<br>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over Christmas, the UK population generates 25% more waste than normal. With waste collections becoming less frequent and rubbish bins getting smaller (in our county, anyway!), this can pose a real problem for households. Add to that, the strain on the environment, and this means it is even more important than ever to up our recycling and upcycling game to try to keep landfill to a minimum. This post aims to sort out the facts when it comes to recycling your Christmas packaging, as well as what you can do to ensure you don't end up with a lot more landfill waste this Christmas and some alternatives to traditional wrapping.<br>

I'd never really thought about it before, I didn't even realise they were still a thing, but I thought it was important we got some insight into potential careers since we won't be going to any events any time soon and I really learned a lot. Things have changed since I was at school and young people are required to stay in education even longer, which is great, but I'm glad there are options available for those who may not be that academically minded and would prefer something a bit more hands-on. <span></span></div><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2021/01/engineering-careers-school-leavers.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-89292085097290317512021-01-21T17:14:00.001+00:002021-01-21T17:14:14.636+00:00How to Declutter and Still Be Sentimental<p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ACym1RmgM7c/YAmx83tKyxI/AAAAAAAArQc/mvohtvWitF4ctp3Pc1cYnnlV3sm8s3wLQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/Add%2Ba%2Bsubheading%2B%25281%2529%2B%25281%2529.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="|A dressing table with a vase in the background and a basket containing assorted trinkets, including books, beads, and a model of the Eiffel Tower" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ACym1RmgM7c/YAmx83tKyxI/AAAAAAAArQc/mvohtvWitF4ctp3Pc1cYnnlV3sm8s3wLQCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/Add%2Ba%2Bsubheading%2B%25281%2529%2B%25281%2529.png" title="How to Declutter and Still be Sentimental" width="200"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> I've never considered myself to be a hoarder, but I do like to hang onto things.

I look after things and keep them in good condition, so why not just let it all stay? Like most people, though, my house is not huge, and recently I've found myself dreaming of a bigger place even more than usual. Something had to give and it was time to either buy an awful lot of lottery tickets or get tough. I started with my dressing table, which I talked about in Creating my Small Space Home Office and I've carried on from there.

These days it's worse, because they are mostly involved with tablets and smartphones, so what do you buy for them that won't last five minutes before they get bored with it and it potentially ends up in landfill? To avoid having to resort to money or vouchers, this year I've used all my experience raising teens and tweens to come up with some great suggestions. I've got together some amazing gift ideas from Buzz Beauty and Buzz Retail to help you out this Christmas with some entertaining gifts that teens and tweens will love. I have not been paid for this post, but I did receive free products, chosen by me, so that I could review them properly and take photographs. <span></span></div><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2020/11/amazing-gift-ideas-for-teens-and-tweens.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-25246982061990951992020-11-21T17:00:00.004+00:002020-11-23T11:07:11.839+00:00Win a Christmas Prize Bundle Worth Nearly £1,000!!<!--wp:heading-->

We might have been home more, but educating children, working from home, and other new unforeseen demands all meant that for some, life never really slowed down. Now we're back in another lockdown, and it's worse because many are still at work, but the kids are getting sent home for isolation, so there's that, Christmas needs preparing for, with pressure to make this Christmas special to make up for the rubbish year (especially for me, because my son's birthday was the first day of the first lockdown and it sucked!) and it's all so stressful!!

My heart sank when I heard her answer, not for us, but for the couples who are just starting out, who might still be showing their best side only, not daring to fart in front of the other and now their very new, shiny relationship is about to hit a mountain size road bump, completely out of their control.</div><span></span><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2020/11/five-fun-long-distance-lockdown-date-ideas.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-46741018390579844902020-11-16T17:12:00.002+00:002020-11-19T12:38:14.814+00:00How to Make this Christmas Extra Special<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e8sS6V4YBxA/X7QAXU_Xc9I/AAAAAAAAqvc/KqaliMLb6VMZwVN7N0gBGeC2bQpVfZTeACLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/Cream%2Band%2BRed%2BChristmas%2BPersonal%2BInstagram%2BPost.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="The top half of a Christmas gift wrapped in gold paper with a bow" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e8sS6V4YBxA/X7QAXU_Xc9I/AAAAAAAAqvc/KqaliMLb6VMZwVN7N0gBGeC2bQpVfZTeACLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/Cream%2Band%2BRed%2BChristmas%2BPersonal%2BInstagram%2BPost.png" title="How to Make this Christmas Special" width="200"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This year more people than ever are finding themselves separated for long periods and long-distance relationships are becoming unavoidable. This means that Christmas shopping habits may be a little different, with the focus on items that are digital or easy to post. It's easy to think that Christmas will be less of an occasion this year, because of all the restrictions in place, but I hope it can be an opportunity to do things a little differently and embrace traditions that have been lost to commercialism over the years. If there's one thing this year has taught us, it's that we have a lot to be thankful for and we can often make the best of our situation and find joy in the small things. Here are some ideas to make Christmas extra special this year, despite what December has to throw at us! </div><span></span><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2020/11/how-to-make-this-christmas-extra-special.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-4257805728545400012020-11-16T00:02:00.001+00:002020-11-16T00:02:17.381+00:00Win a Samsung 50 Inch Smart TV in the Big Blog Giveaway<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2-ukkC7GAnw/X7GUzIVsX5I/AAAAAAAAqtM/cliH06M8BqUtHkoZUYVbAFbetVhsb9ALQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1440/win-a-samsung-50-inch-smart-tv.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1440" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2-ukkC7GAnw/X7GUzIVsX5I/AAAAAAAAqtM/cliH06M8BqUtHkoZUYVbAFbetVhsb9ALQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/win-a-samsung-50-inch-smart-tv.png" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><span></span><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2020/11/win-samsung-50-inch-smart-TV-giveaway.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-6089128238383565922020-11-13T14:30:00.001+00:002020-11-19T14:16:04.788+00:00Four Tips to Thrive with Chronic Illness<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w0WmQ9l6emw/X66WP_3oRsI/AAAAAAAAqtA/PgxhE_D-qR46XmQw8eIak6Rbfgs197BrACLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/Thriving%2Bwith%2BChronic%2BIllness.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="A silhouette of a lady with a ppony tail from the side, with dark trees behind the image" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w0WmQ9l6emw/X66WP_3oRsI/AAAAAAAAqtA/PgxhE_D-qR46XmQw8eIak6Rbfgs197BrACLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/Thriving%2Bwith%2BChronic%2BIllness.png" title="4 Tips to Thrive with Chronic Illness" width="200"></a></div>Today I am welcoming guest poster Patti Kaye to the blog, to talk about living with Chronic Illness. She has been a huge inspiration to me and is just an all-round lovely person, so I hope she can inspire you too, whether you live with a chronic illness yourself, or know someone who does and want to learn more about it. She lives in British Columbia, Canada and has lived with the effects of MS for twelve years. Whilst this caused her to have to give up her teaching job and was devasting at the time, she has resolved to approach life in as optimistic and high spirited way as she can, which I think is a brilliant outlook to have and something I really aspire to do myself. </span></div><span></span><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2020/11/four-tips-to-thrive-with-chronic-illness.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-85919366790223747292020-11-10T12:44:00.005+00:002020-11-19T14:16:15.649+00:00Review of the Mindscreen Experience for Children Part 2<br><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Haub_jdL_M/X6hSofGJGcI/AAAAAAAAqo0/BcCZCSSDQ_Mr7hPZ_R5SO7L2mv5ThojfACLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/Copy%2Bof%2BAdd%2Ba%2Bheading.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="A laptop with a plant in front of it, with the title overlaid" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Haub_jdL_M/X6hSofGJGcI/AAAAAAAAqo0/BcCZCSSDQ_Mr7hPZ_R5SO7L2mv5ThojfACLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/Copy%2Bof%2BAdd%2Ba%2Bheading.png" title="Review of the Mindscreen Experience Part 2" width="200"></a></div><span style="text-align: left;">In my first review of the <a href="https://www.mindscreen.com/full-mindscreen-experience/" target="_blank">Mindscreen Experience Toolkit</a>, I covered my first impressions of the site and my thoughts on the early stages of the Mindscreen process.

The lessons are not long, or difficult, but my son is 14 and generally allergic to anything that resembles learning or education, so he is not the most willing of subjects, but there is lots of guidance to help with keeping children motivated in the parent guides and I've included some tips to get your unwilling participants participating fully in the activities. </div><span></span><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2020/11/review-of-mindscreen-experience-children.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-32470285177204963842020-11-07T22:35:00.010+00:002020-11-19T09:23:08.020+00:00Inexpensive Chidren's Bedroom Ideas<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div style="text-align: left;"><div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BCkdACMpIW8/X6caZDEE0mI/AAAAAAAAqnQ/hLEUrjs9dIAVqoXFDS0kY0OJ86VTT96_QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/Creating%2Ba%2BLong-Lasting%2BChild%2527s%2BRoom.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BCkdACMpIW8/X6caZDEE0mI/AAAAAAAAqnQ/hLEUrjs9dIAVqoXFDS0kY0OJ86VTT96_QCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/Creating%2Ba%2BLong-Lasting%2BChild%2527s%2BRoom.png" width="200"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">A big financial challenge when raising children is keeping up with their interests and, dare I say it, 'fads'. It's not unreasonable to expect a child to go through their interests quite </span>quickly, as they change from being little children to almost-adults in a few short years. There's a lot of pressure from their peers, too, so subjects that were once everything to them can suddenly seem babyish and uncool. So how do you create a bedroom that will stand the test of time without needing completely revamping every time they go through a new phase? Having raised a couple of teenagers now, I've put together some inexpensive children's bedroom ideas to keep things current without breaking the budget or creating a lot of work for yourself. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span></span></div></div><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2020/11/inexpensive-childrens-bedroom-ideas.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-56698928903046223542020-11-05T00:27:00.004+00:002020-11-19T14:16:38.731+00:00The Best Family Video Games to Play Together<p><br></p><p></p><div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jSITIpJFKxs/X6M9UuxLyDI/AAAAAAAAqk8/O9E-LJcoPfYkdcsi_0oelEddp856NaIXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/Best%2BVideo%2BGames%2Bto%2BPlay%2Bas%2Ba%2BFamily.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Video game controller in the hands of a boy wearing a gaming tshirt, you can only see his torso" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jSITIpJFKxs/X6M9UuxLyDI/AAAAAAAAqk8/O9E-LJcoPfYkdcsi_0oelEddp856NaIXQCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/Best%2BVideo%2BGames%2Bto%2BPlay%2Bas%2Ba%2BFamily.png" title="Best Video Games to Play as a Family" width="200"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Video games were never a big deal when my daughter was small, she was never really interested, so I wasn't introduced to video games in any great abundance until my son was old enough to get involved.

I was very excited about this prospect, as it's no secret that mental health is a massive issue for children and young people today and, as parents, it can be really worrying. There are more outside influences than ever before in our children's lives and most are not easily accessible to us. Technology constantly advances and throws up new potential threats with each new app or chatroom and the pace of life and demands on our kids can seem relentless, so I am right behind any tool that helps parents navigate those tricky teenage years. </div><span></span><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2020/10/childrens-mental-health-mindscreen.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-7199598419684241722020-10-06T23:33:00.003+01:002020-11-09T16:57:33.861+00:00How I Cut My Bills by £130 a Month <p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div><br></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div style="text-align: right;"><div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TIua7HbsBP0/X3ztfm_qf0I/AAAAAAAAqD8/Ve4Oytlfj082aLT8j5VLkRt2xN_k-iiZwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/How%2BI%2Bsaved%2B%25C2%25A3130%2Ba%2Bmonth%2Bon%2Bmy%2Bbills.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TIua7HbsBP0/X3ztfm_qf0I/AAAAAAAAqD8/Ve4Oytlfj082aLT8j5VLkRt2xN_k-iiZwCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/How%2BI%2Bsaved%2B%25C2%25A3130%2Ba%2Bmonth%2Bon%2Bmy%2Bbills.png" width="200"></a></div><span style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Last year, I decided to overhaul my finances to see if I could save some money each month. I felt that I wasn't fully in control of what I was spending and it was too easy to use my debit card without really thinking about my outgoings overall. Along the way, I found out a lot about why my spending was higher than it should have been and some great ideas to get better control of the monthly bills. As times are hard for a lot of people right now, I thought I would share how I did it, in the hopes it helps someone else avoid the same traps I fell into and save some money too. The first and most important step I took towards getting better control of my spending, was to get a banking app on my phone. <span></span></div></span></div><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2020/10/how-i-cut-my-bills-by-130-month.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-52291488128072061012020-09-27T22:56:00.000+01:002020-09-27T22:56:17.128+01:0020 Ways to Personalise a Rental Home<p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P8edh2Zam6A/X3EE0J7kdxI/AAAAAAAAqDM/L5HgRBBKzfUCr6AnE4rtQIh7-rWRxHRZgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/Add%2Ba%2Bheading.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P8edh2Zam6A/X3EE0J7kdxI/AAAAAAAAqDM/L5HgRBBKzfUCr6AnE4rtQIh7-rWRxHRZgCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/Add%2Ba%2Bheading.png" width="200"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When my daughter was small, I lived in private rental properties for six years. During that time, three landlords wanted to change the use of the property, so I had to move, which threw up a couple of problems. When you rent privately in the UK, you quickly learn that everything you buy has to be removable, as you could have to leave with a couple of months notice. You also find out that it takes a lot of imagination to make your house a home, as landlords don't like you drilling holes or messing with the decor. Here are 20 ways to personalise your rental space, without spending a fortune or annoying the property owner when it comes time to <a href="https://www.cia-landlords.co.uk/ " target="_blank">compare landlord insurance</a>.<span></span></div><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2020/09/20-ways-to-personalise-rental-home.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-5480187663503499592020-09-23T23:23:00.003+01:002020-09-24T09:23:34.370+01:00Understanding the History and Basics of Reverse Mortgage<div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-

However, do you knowwhat this term is and how it works? Not everyone has access to in-depth research on this subject matter. You may or may not find this area useful at the moment, depending on how close you are to retirement. Nevertheless, it is worth understanding this financial opportunity as it may come in handy for you or a close relative. A reverse mortgage is the financial safety net any retiree, who is also a homeowner, needs. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br></span></div><div class="separator"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Guest Post Collaboration with All Reverse Mortgage Inc.</span><span></span></i></div><a href="https://www.theparentgameblog.co.uk/2020/09/Understanding Reverse Mortgage.html#more"></a>Lucy Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13705990765642609964noreply@blogger.com0
