Career mother teenagers

I try not to be political in this blog. I actually believe that most politicians mean well, whatever angle they're coming from. Despite my a-political stance, I had to comment on something from the recent oarty conferences.

You may or may not like Chancellor George Osborne (and most vocal people, it seems, do not), but it is surely hard to disagree with one thing he said at the recent Conservative Party Conference.

He said: "How can we justify giving flats to young people who have never worked, when working people twice their age are still living with their parents because they can't afford their first home?"

And how can we?

I know personally two teenage girls who deliberately got themselves pregnant so that, with a baby, they would be on the list (and be given) accommodation and would not have to work.

These girls may not end up having a great life, but they made their choice - based on not wanting to work - and will have to live with the consequences.

But why should they be given accommodation while other hard-working youngsters are striving to make a living for themselves and save anough money to be able to move out of the family home - whether that's to rented accommodation to a property financed by a mortgage?

It makes no sense to me.

Sand ceremony

Never heard of a sand ceremony? Then prepare to be enlightened!

A unity sand ceremony is a celebration that enhances a wedding, where the bride and groom both pour sand to bring it together into a single vase.

That’s the simple explanation, but of course sand ceremonies can be carried out with different colours of sand and your choice of vase – entirely to your own tastes and to fit in with your styles.  

Weddingstar provide all you need for a sand ceremony, with their unity sand ceremony sets designed for customer satisfaction.

Vases can be engraved too – with names or the date – to make them an even more memorable keepsake.
