 Many mums who’ve endured the horrors of morning sickness (and what a misnomer THAT one is) know about the trick with the acupressure and the points on your wrist. If you haven’t strapped an entire stationery cupboard’s worth to your wrist in desperation, then you’ve likely tried out the professional products. And one such product is the Sea-Band.
These acupressure wrist bands have been designed to ease nausea, including travel sickness, and they come in sizes to fit both kids and parents. Now we got sent a bunch of these to review as a part of our travelling theme this month and I winged them across to our Mum in Waiting, Rosalind.
Poor Rosalind has been suffering from some hideous morning sickness and so she grabbed these bands with glee.
“Useful, yes, I do think that they offer some relief but the best effect I had was combining them and a drink of ginger root in boiling water,” she said.
 “They do not take the feeling away completely, but I noticed a difference when I took them off to have a bath. This meant that I really did not want to take them off to get in the water. It might actually be worth having two pairs so that I can get one wet.”
The Sea-Band works by exerting a constant, gentle pressure on a point on the inner wrist called the Pericardium 6 acupressure point. Which makes me feel nauseous as I hate anything touching my inner wrist, obviously the Sea-Bands are not for me…
“They are comfortable to wear and the instructions are easy to follow,” continued Rosalind, “I did find they slipped quite a bit over the course of wearing them so I spent a fair amount of time adjusting them. “
Rosalind was also suffering from another pregnancy symptom – clean, clean, clean – so she was rather pleased that the Sea-Bands had clear washing instructions on them. She did, however, feel that it would be nice to have different colours to make them more interesting, but not luminous ones (you’ll see why in a minute).
 “The only thing is that you look a bit like an 80s dancer when you wear them,” she said, “They are not very discreet. I found that I did feel much less self conscious when I was wearing long sleeves. I think, because it is such early days, I did not like to draw attention to why I was wearing them on my wrists.”
I was hugely amused by the 80s dancer remark myself. Visions of pregnant 80s styled dancing women made me laugh out loud.
“I am definitely going to keep wearing them,” Rosalind concluded, “Anything to ease the symptoms a bit. All in all, definitely worth trying. I think that it has eased a bit and I would say that the bands have helped. It’s also nice to have something that I can keep after the pregnancy and use on holiday as well.”
And Finally
 While we were unable to find a child suffering from travel sickness about to go on a boat/long car trip in time for this review, it is entirely possible that they will be just as effective. As a mum of a very fussy toddler, I reckon that the hard bit would be persuading them to keep wearing them.
For the pregnant mum who’s tum is at war I love Rosalind’s final comment…
“If I was going to be pregnant again (which I am not), I would get some it stock so I could wear them from the word go!”
The Sea-Bands retail from £7.99 at Lloyds, Superdrug, Tesco and other such useful places.

 I am constantly amazed at how much Peppa Pig merchandise there is, I mean, you can probably get a Peppa Pig car if you so desired. All these gadgets and gizmos smothered in Peppa Pigness and all from a show that lasts all of five minutes a time. I don’t get it. Anyway here you can nab some Peppa Pig headphones from The Hut, including free delivery, for only £4.93.
These headphones have been designed with kids in mind so they will protect their hearing while they listen to music, engage in learning, or do things that are noisy and demand headphones. They are suitable for children aged three and up.
They will fit into most DVD car entertainment systems, iPods, iPhones, MP3 players, laptops, PCs (including Apple)  and portable gaming systems. Actually, with or without the Peppa Pig branding, a set of headphones like these are brilliant for when you go on your December holidays.
Kids will be able to hear their movies/games above the sound of the engine and you don’t have to listen to their shows for hours on end and can actually squeeze in some of your own music.

One day last year I walked into the most stunning kitchen, belonging to a friend of mine. In a Victorian house, the room had massively high ceilings, and a wall almost entirely of glass at one end. And at the other was a free standing kitchen from John Lewis.
Or so I thought. I knew the units fairly well as I’d been drooling over them online myself since our kitchen desperately needed re-doing. But I was wrong. The units were newly fitted but from Ikea not John Lewis. The transformation had come from re-painting the doors. It looked utterly amazing and I was very impressed. A John Lewis kitchen for the price of an Ikea one? Brilliant.
 Then there are people who are just simply amazing at decorating their own homes in the sort of style you normally only see in Interiors magazine. And every piece you admire has its orgins being found on the side of the footpath or in a junk shop.
So this is it. I’ve been inspired in no small part by Tamsin in her feature last week – Transform Your Home On A Budget.She has pretty much covered it on finding cheap as chips accessories, materials, and decorating.
I am now on a mission to spend absolutely nothing at all on MDF and melamine furniture, and a pittance on stuff that’s made of proper, solid wood.
Shabby Chic
 If you love this style, and distressed furniture, then don’t fork out cash on ready made stuff. Give it a go yourself. OK you’re probably like me and don’t have the foggiest idea where to start. So I turned to PlayPennies mum of one Donatella for help. The interior design of her end of terrace two bedroom cottage is simply breathtaking, and with added layers of lego and models, a truely comfortable family home.
Donatella explains that “I’ve bought loads at charity shops and boot sales. All wood and old. I hoover it, wipe it down, sand a bit and add loose, long stokes of lo-gloss or matt paint – uneven is preferable. I apply it as if it were a wash, and I’ve even used normal wall paint. The metal trunk under my TV table is the last thing I painted. I picked it up in a skip. I always change the knobs, too. “
The metal trunk is the picture above (right-hand side), in situ with the TV table. How did she paint it and did she use ordinary paint or metal paint? “I found the small metal trunk in a skip. It was quite rusty, painted black. I covered it with magnolia lo-gloss for doors. I used it like a wash and only gave it one coat. You can see brush strokes and edges!“
 Her dressing table is particularly striking (pictured above). “I bought it in a charity shop. Apparently it’s from the 1920s. Bought Victorian handles on eBay – that’s why they’re all different. Chest was £35. Knobs were £8 in total.” Including the paint then, that’s a piece of beautifully designed furniture in solid (very solid!) wood for less than £50. I don’t think you could get something that feels as well built as this dresser for that price in a shop selling flat packed self assembly furniture.
 Some pre-loved furniture has been a bit more ‘loved’ than others. And that can require a little more elbow grease to change. The sideboard pictured right was a little bit more of a challenge for Donatella. “I bought this from a charity shop for £20. The top had lining paper glued on to it. Scraped it off, sanded, washed, painted and bought glass knobs. The lining paper in the drawers was much easier to remove. It just peeled right off.“
Melamine Gold Mine
Next, repainting melamine. For my ‘guinea pig’, to practice my renovating skills, I got an old set of drawers for free from Freecycle. I can’t over stress what a state they were in. Think really really bad student bedsit circa 1990. It took me two afternoons to get it done. And no it isn’t, unfortunately, the drawers pictured below!
Step one is to clean the surfaces you’re going to paint, thoroughly. I washed it down, then went over it all with turpentine. You can also use sugar soap. Then sandpaper. Here I wasn’t too sure what to do, so looked online for advice and followed the information given on DIY Doctor. Namely to simply sand until the gloss is gone. Not any further as you may remove the plastic surface entirely.
 After that I painted it with a coat of primer, and when that was dry I painted it with eggshell matt white paint. For the painting I used a roller, and a small brush for finishing the edges. I found I really had to watch out for dripping. It was too easy to put on too much paint without intending to.
I painted it earlier this year as a half term project with my son. We had a blast! I can’t say it wasn’t messy, because it was. I made sure I put down lots of newspaper, and explained what he needed to do. Overall he did really well and was very responsible with the paint. However, I forgot about the cleaning up afterwards part. He very helpfully rinsed his brush under the tap in the kitchen then shook it dry. Sending watery paint splatters everywhere. It looked CSI had conducted a blood splatter simulation with white paint.
And Finally
I couldn’t really find much in the way of websites that will help you with finding and renovating on the cheap. This book, Flea Market Style, certainly looks helpful though!
Would love to hear about all your experiences. Especially any links you might have to photos. Have you upcycled some furniture? And if you did, how did it go?

 I couldn’t be more excited about a freebie! I am desperate to learn more about photography as I’ve not had time to go to lessons or put what I’ve learned so far into practise, so an online course that can be done in my own time is rather perfect. Here, at PhotographyCourse.net you can learn all the secrets of digital photography for no cost at all.
The site is really easy to navigate and you can start your lessons from wherever your skill levels are today. You can learn how to work with the light you are given, how to get people to post for you, focal length and so much more.
Each course comes with images and clear instructions to help you learn about each element of digital photography so you can quietly figure stuff out at your own pace. I really think that this is quite brilliant as courses are very  expensive in the UK.
If you get stuck, you can always ask a friend or do a YouTube search for a video walkthrough, otherwise you can carry on, learn what you need, and walk away as a pro. What an ace freebie!

I love the items on this website. They’re quirky, fun but very useful. I think my favourite is the Puppy Doggie Doorstop in the Union Jack colours. We’ve got no need for anything like this now, but it would make a lovely gift for a new parent. There’s lots of other items in the nursery section that are highly desirable.
 The site also has a games and crafts section. I can highly recommend the Build It Space Rocket Kit, which my son received as a birthday present when he was 3. He absolutely loved putting it together and painting it. And, he still plays with it now two years later (although the nose cone has long gone). Strangely though, although the section is full of lovely craft and gift ideas, it isn’t easy to find! It wasn’t on the front page, and I only saw it when I clicked on the Nursery section.

I recently bought a house. It’s our very first time as home owners and it’s been a pretty interesting (and rocky) ride. I have to admit that one of the biggest problems has been decorating the house on a very limited budget. There’s always something that needs fixing or replacing that’s far more important than making a room look pretty. I don’t know about you, but it has driven me slightly mad.
This weekend was the breaking point for me; I decided to stop rocking back and forth in a corner, crying over how boring my lounge looked, and to find a way of turning my house into a home on little to no budget.
 If you want to brighten up your walls, why not make some wall hangings of your own. You can do this without spending a fortune on fabrics or materials, and there are plenty of free ideas available on the net.
To start with, try knitting a wall hanging. Sound strange to you? Well, it’s no different than ye olde tapestries that hung in castles back in the day but this time you can create something that’s entirely your own. Whether you’re an avid knitter or have never picked up sticks before, there are patterns that you can use. And many of these are for free.
Start out by visiting sites like Ravelry, and searching for wall hangings. You’ll be amazed at what you can find. Patterns range from completely free, to an online purchase of only £2, to an entire book that will cost you £10 but has so many ideas that it will change your home. I am particularly impressed with the knitted wall hanging from Patons, this can be made by a beginner knitter with ease, and can be customised to suit your home perfectly.
 Some knitted wall decorations consist of mini items of clothes or kitchenware that you then peg onto a line and string along the wall. This can transform a nursery into something really special, or give a beautiful country feel to your kitchen.
And they won’t take you very long to make. Other ideas include Advent calendars (tis almost The Season), anigurami ornaments, plain cable-knit fabric stretched across a frame and mounted on the wall, and knitted bunting flags. My personal favourite are these knitted ceramic pots.
As you can see, there is a lot to choose from.
Some yarns cost quite a lot of money but you can get some of these for free or at massively reduced prices. Hunt around for yarn sales, especially now that the end of season stocks are going out, and visit knitting forums. I’ve landed several bags of gorgeous wool just because I happened to pop in on the yarn swap pages from time to time.  You can either swap yarn you don’t want, sell yarn, buy yarn at greatly reduced prices, or perhaps land some for free!
Another great place to nab discount yarn is at charity shops. It’s well worth trawling your area for these and you’ll likely get your knitting or crochet needles very cheaply from these shops too.
If knitting isn’t your thing and you want a new colour scheme, then get some paint for free. Difficult? Well, a little. Call around to all your friends and family and ask them to haul old tins of paint out for you. Once you’ve weeded out the dead from the useful, you can blend them, or just use one or two of them, to add spice to your house. You don’t need to paint all your walls either, one vivid and exciting colour on one wall is definitely de rigour at the moment.
 While this idea is quite brilliant in theory, you may not find enough paint to make a difference so your next step could be to consider making your own fabric wall art. Get discounted fabric by searching online, visiting sites like Gumtree, or hounding your local charity shops (there’s no rule that says you can’t shred a dress or a coat to get the fabric you want!).
It’s a good idea to aim for a fabric with a large scale pattern. Geometric shapes, plain colours with a splash of design, interesting (but not too busy) patterns and cute designs are ideal for these. Then pop into your nearest B&Q or art store (or even just visit the tip) to get yourself four lengths of wood. You’ll need to whip out your inner handyman when it comes to attaching the corners and the fabric but it isn’t a steep learning curve.
 Iron your fabric before you attach it to your frame, and cut more than you need so you have plenty to wrap around the back and sides. Then staple (or hammer) the fabric into the frame and, voila! Now you have a gorgeous fabric painting that’s utterly unique.
These are just a few simple ideas on how you can change a room, a wall, or even a mood in your home without getting an angry call from your bank manager. Since I started my mission, I’ve knitted some cushion covers to replace our old tatty ones, and a Patons wall hanging organiser that stores our house keys, spare change and important bills.
Happy home renovating! And please do share any of your own inventions, I’d love to see them.

The Mosaic Mad Romans sell a series of mosaic kits for children, as well as running Roman themed events. The mosaic kits are divided into two ranges. Roman, and Modern. With the modern range you can make a mini Stonehenge, a church window, medieval coin coaster or more modern designs like a rainbow mirror or an England shield.
However, it was the Roman range that I was most interested in. I’ve always had a fascination with the Romans, and in particular the influence the Empire had on Britain. It was the Roman Coin Mosaic Coaster kit that caught my eye. A small project that might be quite doable for a five year old, and it came with a Roman coin to add that little bit of extra interest to the coaster. A great way, I thought, to introduce a small boy to that period of history.
 Plus, my son is tile mad. I don’t know why, but it is impossible for him to walk past a Topps Tiles without going in to examine every single tile in the store. How, I thought, would he react to a mosaic?
Really a bit too well as it turned out. The kit arrived, and it was smaller than I expected. I don’t know why I thought there would be more to it, given that I knew it was a coaster! The kit includes 32 marble tiles, glue, a stick, a coin, the coaster and Roman ‘dust’. It does cost £6, so I thought, as I opened the package that it had better be darn good quality.
 And it was. The tiny tile squares are quite thick, and made of good quality materials. My son immediately took a shine to these and I had to wait until he’d spent a little while playing a game that seemed to entail putting them in a small pile, then into another small pile on the other side of the table. When I could tear him away from the tiles, I attempted to read him through the instructions. I showed him the picture that came with the tiles, and did my best to explain what needed to be done but he was simply beside himself with excitement and wouldn’t listen.
Making A Mosaic
First we laid a large sheet of paper down on the table. Now, you are supposed to draw a square and use it to plan out your design, but my son was too impatient for that. Instead it was straight on with the glue onto the supplied board. This applies thickly and surprisingly evenly with very little effort. I was hugely surprised here as I thought that my son would simply make a big mess with it but that wasn’t the case. He did get some on his hands but this peeled off easily when it dried.
 Next he quite gleefully pushed the coin in. I gently moved this to the centre for him, which did not go down particularly well. After that I let him put the tiles on, which as you can see from the photos, were placed in a variety of positions. With no real attention paid to where the colours went! By this stage he’d understood that the sand was sprinkled on at the end and just wanted to get to that part of the proceedings.
I have to say that things did get quite messy by that point. I think I’ll be hoovering up little grains of black sand for some time to come. But finally it was done, and we placed it on the window ledge to dry.
The ’sand’, or dust as the site calls it, is coarse, quite large sized grains that you sprinkle onto the glue or grouting, to give it that authentic Roman look. I’m not quite sure why this is particularly Roman – there wasn’t any information in the enclosed pamphlet.
 The instructions said to leave it for 30 minutes, before shaking off the dust or sand, and voila! You have a coaster. In reality it actually took about three hours before it was solid. After 30 minutes the glue was still quite soft, and it was easy to move the tiles around.
Drying Off
Once it had gone hard however, it really did go very hard indeed. My son was hugely proud of his work. Unfortunately at that moment he finally took a proper look at the picture supplied with the kit, and wailed that his didn’t look like that.
Well no it doesn’t but you see that’s why we read instructions … I think that was more of the lesson learned than any sort of connection with Roman history.
This was a fun wee project to occupy a rainy summer holiday morning. I’m still not entirely convinced of its value given how much the kit costs, but I can’t deny the high quality of the materials. And this shows in the end product, which doesn’t look at all like a child’s version of an adult item, as you normally get with child-oriented craft kits. I have to say that this is what I liked the most about it, that there’s no ‘dumbing down’ for the child. They’ve put in the same amount of effort as an adult, they should get the same result!
And Finally
 As a lesson in history I think it did make a big difference. For a small child it is really hard to look at a mosaic and understand what it is. But now that he’s made one up, my son has a new appreciation of the art form. And when he is shown one, like the ones lining the staircase at the British Museum, he gets quite excited and pays more attention than he would have done before. I think I will definitely consider buying some of the other kits, but perhaps for Christmas or birthday!

I have no idea how to patch and mend clothes. Nor can I sew a hem, or work a sewing machine. None of which bothered me at all, until I became a parent. Now I look at my son’s favourite t-shirt, with the little hole that’s appeared near the shoulder, and I feel deficient. It came from the Disney store and cost a (to me) whopping £16. Sure he’s got his money’s worth out of it, wearing the t-shirt constantly. But I’m faced with two options – throw it out, or buy a replacement. Neither of which makes sense considering the money involved!
Darn it!
 So, with a hazy memory of my darning badge earned in Girl Guides at the age of 11, I got the needle and thread out. My clumsy effort did the job, and while I was there I spotted that the seam under the arm was coming loose too so tidied that up. I felt pretty good, and it got me wondering. What about all those pairs of trousers worn at the knee but otherwise OK? Or the expensive cut off’s I bought to go on holiday with, and ripped at shin by walking into a concrete plant pot? Then there’s the blouse that came out of the washing machine with an inexplicable tear in the arm. These both sit at the bottom of my laundry basket. I spent too much money on them to simply throw them out, but have no idea how to fix them.
First stop was, of course, to ask all the PlayPennies parents I know. The answer was either a resounding silence, or the not so helpful explanation that it was something they were taught growing up by their mum. As mum of two daughters, Sho, says “I learned it at my mother’s and grandmother’s knee.” That doesn’t help me very much as my mother was never good at the whole teaching thing. We weren’t even allowed in the kitchen when she was cooking.
Sho went on to explain that “anything knitted is pretty easy. Jeans are easy with a machine (easier with my spiffy old one which could sew sideways“. Eeek enough with the jargon! Sewing sideways? I think that maybe I need to learn at a far more basic level than that.
Video Lessons
Ideally perhaps, an inexpensive course at the local college in sewing would probably be best. But I have no time in the evenings, and working full time in the day eliminates that option too. So I looked for the next best thing – lessons on the internet.
This video on How to repair a rip was a HUGE eye opener for me. So that’s what that extra square of spare material you get with many items of clothes (particularly delicates like silk, and boys trousers) is for! I had absolutely no idea although I have dutifully kept every square. They’re in a box with all the spare buttons you get, and the little sewing kits they leave out for you in hotel rooms.
If you don’t have a spare bit of material, you can use some from a pocket or the extra bit if the trousers were taken up. Boys trousers are often made extra material at the bottom, so they can be let down as the child grows. Might as well use it to patch a hole in the knee if the only other alternative is to throw them out.
 Mending can in fact often make the trousers even more attractive for boys! Pictured here are a pair of my step son’s favourite trousers from when he was 11 years old. I should point out that his grandmother mended them, and what an amazing job she did of it too. Plus, the overall effect was such that my step son and his friends thought they were ‘totally cool’.
Patches
If you’ve no material to hand, or the hole is beyond your skills to mend, the simple option is to put a patch over it. Something that’s been pre-made specifically for the purpose. I seem to remember these being in abundance when I was a kid. We all had patched up clothes, especially on the bum of our jeans! It was fashionable to do. This option seemed easy enough even for me to do. So out I went to buy some. And couldn’t find any!
 I tried every Google search I could think of. I went into every haberdashery I could find (and was sad to find there’s not too many of these left. Even the one in our local Alders deparment store seemed to have disappeared). No-one could help me. Eventually I found a small packet of assorted patches in various colours aimed at children. They’re a bit baby-ish though, and I haven’t as yet found any that will suit children aged over 5. If anyone can point me in the right direction, please let me know!
Glue And Wonderweb
For sticking the patches on, I tried the quick fix of fabric glue. This works, to a certain extent. I have found it starts to wash out after about three or four washes. Sho recommends Wonderweb, which you should find in stores like Morrisons. I’m told that it is also the same as Vilene. Personally I’ve no idea and am relying on the advice of others. Yet one more item that I need to get familiar with!
Our sewing expert Sho recommends that “for T-shirts etc, it’s sometimes easier to put a small piece of material behind the hole and use something like Wondaweb to hold it together.“
And Finally
At this time of the year, it makes sense to turn trousers with worn out knees into shorts. I ran out of time to include that here, so look out of it in a couple  of weeks. Next week we’ll look at what you can do to prolong the life of school uniforms.
As you can see, my knowledge of how to patch and mend is pretty basic. I expect I’m not alone. If more knowledgeable PlayPennies parents would like to share their tips and expertise, please post in the comments here!

 You’ve got to hand it to Poundland, they really understand the meaning of the word ‘bargain’. These gym bags for boys and girls are adorable, stylish and, you guessed it, very cheap. Only £1 at Poundland gets you one delightful bag that can get sweaty socks and shoes shoved in without you wincing in pain.
The two different gym bags are not the only fabulously discounted goodies that will help out as you prepare for the next year of school. Socks, knee highs, polo shirts, and other such necessities, are all sitting at the lovely price of £1. So, before you gallop off to those expensive stores with their three for two deals, why not get those hardy essentials from Poundland instead.
 It always makes my Scottish genes shrivel up and cry whenever I see the clothes (read: socks) change colour after only two wears. Now I don’t even bother with high quality socks for my tot anymore. A couple of white ones from Poundland for £1 so that way, when they die, I don’t sob little miserly tears when I bin them.
Thanks to lucerysmum at HUKD!
