I am trying to compile a directory of useful resources that are recommended by parents for parents.

Parenting Directory now has voting enabled so if you think a site listed on there is really useful you can vote for it or add a comment.

But I need your input on what sites you think are helpful to parents. You can fill in as many or as few as you want below so that they can be added to Parenting Directory.

For example if you always go to a certain site for maths homework, let me know.

BBC Three and Renegade Pictures are making a new documentary with Cherry Healey about women and their opinions on money.

Can money buy you happiness? Or is it the cause of arguments and tension in your home? We are looking for women to share their stories.

Are you a single mum struggling to pay for the daily basics?

Are money troubles constantly weighing heavy on your mind?

Would you say that your children go without so that bills can get paid?

Whatever your views and situation we’d love to hear from you! If you’re interested in finding out more, please email: money@renegadepictures.co.uk or call 020 7449 3279 but please note that email is preferential at this stage.

BBC3 Cherry Healey Documentary is looking for struggling single mums to share their stories.

BBC Three and Renegade Pictures are making a new documentary with Cherry Healey about women and their opinions on money.

This series on Money follows the recent success of the documentary series Cherry Has a Baby, Cherry gets Married, and Cherry Goes Dating.

The new programme on money will be a thoughtful and insightful documentary about how women in Britain view money today. As with all of Cherry’s films this will be an open exploration of different women’s opinions and the decisions that they make where money is concerned.

We are currently looking for women to get in touch and share their views and opinions and want to hear from women from all walks of life and all backgrounds.

We are particularly hoping to speak to a British woman who may be struggling to look after their family with the money they are earning or have been given.

 

We look forward to hearing from you!

They are filming a question and answer debate to discuss issues relating to debt, pay, how banks work, the credit crunch and money matters. It will be a more update version of Question Time with Robert Peston ( BBC Business Correspondent ) hosing the show with a guest. They are looking for people to be part of the audience to raise issues and ask questions about anything money related. Ideally they will be aged between 18 and 32 years old and would be free to go to the BBC Television Centre at 17:30 on Thursday 27th May.

If you are interested get in touch and I will forward your details.

Both were strangled by a long looped cord used in blinds. Harrison’s family said they want to prevent this kind of accident happening to other young children. So here at Confessions we are doing our bit by getting the word out so that more people can sign the petition.

The full story can be read here.

There is also a Facebook page, the family website and a petition available.

Hi there,
 
I’m writing to you from Renegade Pictures regarding a programme we’re making
for the BBC about pregnancy. The documentary will be a warm, thoughtful look
at pregnancy today, in which our expectant presenter will meet 7 women
having a baby at different times of their lives – and with equally diverse
lifestyles. We’re really keen that this documentary will explore the wide
range of options that are available to women, providing a fascinating
insight into this very special time.
 
We’re looking to contact women in the UK who are having their first baby and
are particularly keen to feature women who are in their late 30′s, 40′s or
50′s who are currently pregnant and have been successful through IVF or
alternative fertility treatments. We hope this will be a positive
opportunity for them to talk about their experiences, choices, and outlooks,
and really want to offer them the opportunity to put their opinions across -
perhaps challenging stereotypes if they are passionate about that.
 
If you’re interested in finding out more you can call me on: 07548 948 995
or email: baby(at)renegadepictures(dot)co(dot)uk.
 

Many thanks and best wishes,
 
Paula
