5 reasons you should take out a funeral plan

Collaborative Post¦ It’s a sombre thought, but unfortunately death is part of life. In fact, it’s the only guaranteed thing in life. As such, it is important that we do briefly ponder it from time to time. This allows us to make sure that things are put into place for when that time comes. Of course, it is important to make a will and ensure that you keep what you want to leave to who up to date. Life insurance is another thing to consider. It is also a good idea to get a prepaid funeral care plan. Here are 5 reasons why.

Starting University as a Parent

Collaborative Post¦ Most people start their undergraduate degree when they’re around 18 or a little later. By this time, some may already be parents, but the majority of people aren’t. However, the older you get, the more likely it is that you’re going to have children. So if you’re contemplating university a little later in life, or you’re already a parent in your late teens, you might need to consider how you would fit studying around being a parent. Juggling going to university and parenting responsibilities is no easy feat, but it could be well worth the effort to boost your education and your earning potential.

Reopening of Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater

Collaborative Post (Gifted)¦ What was the last ‘normal’ thing you did before the lockdown at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic? For us, it was going to see Zog  and The Highway Rat at Showcase Cinemas de Lux Bluewater last March! It seems a lifetime ago now. Although cinemas opened again for a while last year, I was heavily pregnant with Reuben and largely self-isolating. Therefore, with the re-opening of cinemas this week it almost felt like we’d come full circle when we went to see Peter Rabbit 2 yesterday.

Pandemic Ponderings: Ex Friends

I recently wrote about how the pandemic has had me thinking about things that have happened in my life a lot more. I think it’s partially down to the increase in time that my brain has available to ponder. However, I think it’s perhaps also my brain’s way of trying to compartmentalise and put things into perspective in these odd times. I’ll also be hitting the big 3-0 next year (eek!) so maybe that’s why I seem to be continually dissecting my youth. Anyway, other than my failed relationships, I’ve also been thinking about failed friendships. While looking back at my ex-boyfriends was quite funny in hindsight, looking at ex-friendships is actually rather sad. This weighs on my mind quite often, despite years passing. I’m hoping that getting it off of my chest will be quite cathartic for me.
