New for May 2026 By Miss K L Slomczynski
Over the next few months I am going to help my children by learning some life skills now that my health is failing me.
I have helped them all to look at what they love to do and are intrested in and use this to their advantage.
So I have set them all up a blog, ebay account and youtube channel.
BUT due to the age og my children none of these can be in their name(s) until they are over the age of 18.
This is something that I fully surport and until then these will be over seen by myslef and their dad.
Due to self employment we are looking at ways that the boys can work partime and learn the family business.
It is amazing how you can work in media when you are a child under the age of 18, but not really another line of work until you are 13 and over.
So yes at times we have inclused some photos of hour children in my art work, but with their permission and also not facing the camera.
Once they are older they will get 100% ownership of the photos that I have taken and can choise what they wish to do with them.

2021 Happy New Year I Hope You Dance By Lee Ann Womack
With 2025 now drawing to a close I am taking this time to wish you a Happy New Year for 2026.
Usually I am to do a you tube video to welcoming in the new year and to show case the year I have had.
Sadly I have not been able to do this for 2025, due to my illness, disabilities and once again facing homelessness.
These are things that I would like to talk about more in 2026, also to showcase thought out 2026 to promote information and awareness about these.
I know that the say “A picture paints a thousand words.” So I will aim to do this though my art.
Anyone who would like to know more about this or to take part can do so by getting in touch with me or following me on social media.
So Happy New Year for 2026.
I will leave you with a link to an old New Year video that I did with my children.

Saturnalia Explained
Saturnalia is an ancient Roman festival and holiday in honour of the god Saturn, held on 17 December in the Julian calendar and later expanded with festivities until 19 December.
By the 1st century BC, the celebration had been extended until 23 December, for a total of seven days of festivities. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social norms: gambling was permitted, and masters provided table service for their slaves as it was seen as a time of liberty for both slaves and freedmen alike.
A common custom was the election of a "King of the Saturnalia", who gave orders to people, which were followed and presided over the merrymaking. The gifts exchanged were usually gag gifts or small figurines made of wax or pottery known as sigillaria. The poet Catullus called it "the best of days".

17th July 2025 how to make you money go futher during summer 2025
For a number of years now I have been following Nomadic Matt, but when it come to traveling and visiting places of intrest their is not much about the UK.
So this blog is going to include information about the UK and will spider web for their when it comes to traveling and trying to make your money go futher during the Summer Holidays of 2025.
So with all of the schools breaking up on 18th July in Nuneaton and Bedworth, alot of parents and guardians are going to be in the same ituation.
I am sure that alot of you are going to be thinking "OMG!" "Six weeks of no school, how much will this cost me."
With a £1.00 no longer being worth a £1.00 any more You could easly be looking at speanding any where between £10.00 to £20.00 person and that may only get you a packet of crisps, per pack sandwiche, a bottle of water and a piece of fruit and a chocolate bar.
So speanding about £10.00-£20.00 per head before you have even put fule in the car or paid for public transport is a lot of money to pay out over 6 weeks. coyld quite easly work out at about £70.00 per week and then could work at about £420.00 per person in the space of 6 weeks.
So who would yu maker your money go futher during Summer 2025?
Their are anumber ways that this may beable able to be achived if you have been able to some of the following before the Summer holidays.
Claimed HAF Codes application information.
Looked on you local Council website for what is on (Nuneaton and Bedworth Borugh Council.)
Looked on the GOV.UK Website of futher information.
Pupil Premium application information.
Summer play schemes/ after school clubs.
Then you still have time to plan how you are going to survive the next 6 weeks and make your money go futher to do so; by clicking on some of the link(s) that I have listed below that you may find useful.
To be continued....
