MEMORIES FOR SALE
If
you could sell a memory, what would it worth? Not just to you but
your family, friends and love ones. Then how much would a stranger
pay for it?
Over
the last 40 Day and 40 nights of lent I have aimed to look at the
future and my children's future and where I can go from here?
Before
I was a mother I was daughter, sister, friend a lover, a rival and an
enemy to someone, but who will remember my in my time of need or
family when they need me but I am longer there for them?
I
remember reading an article about a family who all wrote a letter for
a baby that was born in there family so that she read them on her
21st birthday and know the people in her life. People who
she had loved and possible lost or may not even remember meeting but
may have met her. The family knowing that some of them knowing they
they may no longer their to celebrate her birthday. But they could
be there for her with words.
I
found this so moving so I have decided that I am going to sell my
memories on EBay with an item that I once owned. With the money that
I get fro each sale 10% will go to a local charity The Mary Ann Evans
Hospice. At the end of each month I will donate 10% to the
Alzheimer's and dementia Trust.
I
use to work with people with Alzheimer's and dementia and it was the
pain in there families eyes that I remember the most. Epically when
the person in front of them could not remember them. It was so heart
breaking to know how this disease effects every one.
With
the money I revive from each sale, I will used it to create New
memories with my children so that one day they can be shared with
their children and their children's children
That
is one thing that I love about the internet the ability to contact
with other and prove that humans really to care.
So
if you would like to buy any item of mine and a memory please view my
Ebay page and look for items that I have for sale that say memory
shared and the item.
You
will revive the item and a letter form me sharing a personalized
memory with the item that you have purchased.
Thank
you for reading.

Lent Blog Day 36
Lent Blog Day 36
Lent is almost over
and this year I have had a lot to think about and about the future.
It is very import for me that I can provide for my family and above
all that that are happy and heathy. I am really thinking about where
I want to be in a Years time from now and where I would like my
children to be? I am also thinking about work and becoming self
employed him an on line business mainly and how much time and money I
can invest in being self employed. I have also been looking at
building up my portfolio and what support I can get from the DWP.
I have had so many
ideas running thought my mind and I need to start looking at building
up a business plan and taking steps into where I am going to be by
September 2017.

Lent Blog Day 34/35
Lent Blog Day
34/35
It is day 33 of my
lent blog and a lot as changed over the last few weeks and days just
passed. One of the main things is the importance of family and your
love ones health. This week I have found out that my son now as
chickenpox! The spots came out today BUT I was carrying the virus
for 10 days prior. Due to my sister being with child I have not been
able to see her and by the time my child are well she will be a mum
for the first time. So I will get to see mother and baby with out
the risk of my children still having or likely having chickenpox.
During this time I
have had to call on reinforcement so their dad as stepped in to
support me mean that he once again like any parent would as put off
doing other things in life that needed doing or wanted to do.
“let me why I hate
Mondays.”
“The Man in the
mirror.”
The two songs going
though my head right now.
This is why I loved
living on a narrow boat so that I did not have to deal with people in
my life unless we were moored near people.
I have found being
back in house so stressful and so have my children. It is great that
they are in education and are local to the family all the time BUT
the cost of having these things is at times TO MUCH!
I was looking at
standing in the local election again this year BUT just have not been
able to do so with the children and myself being unwell.
So when it dose come
to voting on 4th May I will have to think long and had as
to who to vote for.
In the past I was
with a party UKIP! BUT like being with any party you have to follow
their political polices and that may not leave any room to follow and
support what you believe and want to change.
If I had stood for
election this year I would have stood alone. Some of the things that
I would have worked to achieve in Nuneaton and my chosen ward which
would have been probable Arbury due to where I am living now would
have been things like.
Supporting the
George Elliot Hospital and trying to keep A&E and Maternity Open.
This is something
that I have very passionate about and know that it would not just be
Nuneaton and Bedworth that would be effected if they were to close
down part of the hospital. With it being on the A444 Atherstone,
Hinckley, Coventry are also places that at time that use this
hospital depending on where you live.
I would have
also supported Family Planing
I believe that this
is very important and needs addressing, no one should have to wait up
to three months to see a family planning doctor or use a service that
is only available one to two evenings per week after 18.00 at night
epically when public transport is limited. This service should be
available during the day too.
Needing a new
grave site in Nuneaton!
This is a must! It
would be nice to have some where in Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough
Council where people if they chose can have a nice woodland burial if
they choose. This is something that is already viable in Coventry
and also Lemington.
Permit
parking,
Due to the amount of
car owners and the on going congestion on the roads I strongly feel
that curtain streets should be permit parking only. When new
properties are build, many now come with car parking for one car per
home. I know that car owners may not be happy with this But I feel
that it is important to safe guard pedestrians and home owners. In
many street in Nuneaton, there are on going issues with car parking
which as lead to double parking and people using foot paths to park
their cars on. In Stockingford on Nuneaton There are a few major
road which are always constricted due to road congestion of parked
cars. This as lead to Bus Services not being able to operate on time
especially in and around Westbury Road, Heath End Road, St Paul's and
Arbury Road.
It would these these
road that I would look at permit parking on! It is also these roads
and side roads that have become a prime target for “BUY TO LET”
LAND LORDS. I am all of people having some where to live and work
BUT at the same time people have to remember that the roads at not
really designed to cope with the amount of cars that use them to day.
I strongly feel that
if these roads where permit parking only it would make parking fro
those that live in the street able to do so. One of the main roads
that I know to be an issue is Grove Road. It as properties down
there that are Bedsits and up to 5 cars from one house due to each
person renting a room in one property being a car owner. This as
caused a lot of problems over the last year. It is also a road that
is used by people that work at the local schools and a bury road due
to lake of parking that is provide by the schools for there staff and
Arbury Road for its residents.
One way roads
ONLY!
In the town centrer
a few roads have become one way to help with road and traffic
congestion. In Stockingford I strongly feel that this also soul be
put into practice to avoid traffic congestion and to help improve the
safety to just to driver but also pedestrians. I would patio to make
Westbury road one way and also Grove Road too. The main reasons fro
this is due to Westbury Road being the main bus route for the number
nine bus service which is always unsafe and congested. If it was a
one way Semite it would make parking in the road safer and also
enable the bus to go from Arbury Road into Westbury Road with out the
risk of on coming traffic blocking the route.
With Grove Road it
should be one way due to having Nuneaton Academy at the top of the
street and Stockingford First and Middle School at he bottom. Being
a one way road would again avoid contention, make it safe for student
going to and from school, these are to the two main concerns due the
bottom of the road being a blind bend and the top of the road heading
onto Arbury Road. In the past people have mentioned reduced speeding
signs But I believe that making it one way would be more effective
and safer.
Bus Services
I would have applied
of funding to that all service ran seven days per week even is it was
only on an hourly basic or on a Sunday at 8.00 in the morning and
then again at 6.00 so that is people need to work on Sunday a service
was provide. I belie that this is a must for service like the 17,
18, 41 and 7. The bus service to the industrious estate tend to be
cut during the day BUT run to enable people to travel to and from
work, so there fore I believe that the 17, 18, 41, and 7 should do
the same.
It would also be
nice if on occlusion that a bus service even if it was “Private
hire” was provided when local event take place in the Bough or at
the NEC. The 717 use to run to the NEC and was well not well used
which is why the service got axed. I strongly feel that if the
service was promoted more then it could be reinstated in the future.
I feel that people
should be encouraged to use public transport more and that service
for children and students should be fare and stay at £2.50 all year.
Also Family passes should be promoted more and encouraged especially
during the weekends and holidays.
Promote
Tourism More!
We have a market! So promote it!
We are on the major link to the Coventry Canal especially during the
summer of hire boats and Holiday boaters encourage them to stop!
Offer pop up shops.
Promote the Heritage Centre and Craft Centre more!
Promote the Art Galley more!
WE have the opportunity to turn this town around if we can encourage
the boating community to stop in Nuneaton the word on the tow-path is
a powerful one and at the moment it is OMG! NEVER MOOR THERE!
I am hoping this year that will change this summer!
These are some of
the key things that if I had stood and was elected that I would have
aimed to have achieved. So may be next year,
So when I do vote
this year I will be looking at the following things from some one
that is wanting to represent Nuneaton and Bedworth in my area.
