Back-to-School Season – Scarily Close

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Today we have a guest writer from MoneySupermarket.com who has written an exclusive guide for Nipper News readers to some Back-to-School shopping tips…

The time has come upon all parents to seriously start thinking about going out to purchase new back-to-school equipment and uniforms for the kids. But the problem is where to start? This can be a particularly stressful time for parents, mainly down to the cost involved. If you have more than one child of a school age, you could easily rack up a bill of £100 per child, including school uniform, shoes, bags, P.E equipment and any resources they may need for the school year, such as books. This exclusive guide, brought to you by moneysupermarket.com will give you a few hints and tips on how to purchase these things without the stress and reducing the expense.

Are you a stay-at-home mum?

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Are you a ‘Stay At Home Mum’ and fancy making some money? If so, you may be interested in this message from Glenda over at http://www.precious-memories.co.uk/

It is with regret that my lovely 2D Impression lady Debbie has had to leave the company. Debbie will be missed by all of the team and we wish her well – especially for her pre-operation next week. This now leaves an opening for someone to come on board in the Midlands to create our 2d Impressions. Debbie’s territory was Derbyshire – so if you know anyone who lives in that area who is looking to work from home whilst enjoying their time with the children let get them to call me on 07779325160 or email glhickmott@gmail.com

Franchise Details (in a nutshell)
Fee is £1,000 plus VAT – and once you pay this you do not pay a penny more. Full training is given and all materials are provided by the company. There is a great support network within the team and we are planning to expand on our relationship with Boots where we currently hold monthly casting days in Meadowhall Sheffield.
