Nationwide has issued a £300 warning to certain parents
During this cost-of-living crisis, mums and dads will reportedly have to spend over £300 on a back-to-school shop this year. Parents are expecting to spend £329 per child on back-to-school items, up £137 (70%) compared to last year. Over a third of parents (36%) claim that social media is to blame for influencing the list of 'must-haves' for schoolchildren, such as designer bags and insulated water bottles. To help parents ease the financial pressure of back-to-school shopping, money-saving expert Sue Hayward shares her tips. Whether you want to speak to a real person in branch, or do your banking online, there are many ways you can bank with us. If you need support, get in touch: — Nationwide (@AskNationwide) January 2, 2025 One parent, Sophie Wilson, who has one child aged five, told the building society: 'This year we'll be spending around £200 on back-to-school items, with school trainers and shoes topping the list. 'We're very fortunate that our school has a great second-hand clothing shop, run by the Parents' Association, so I tend to buy all my daughter's school-branded items from there and then supplement them with additional t-shirts and tights bought during the high-street sales. 'I've also found reselling apps such as Vinted to be a way to save. I've often bought school shoes from Vinted because they tend to be hardly worn. "Usually, a parent has just bought the wrong size or the child has suddenly had a growth spurt, and they come in at about 50% of the cost!' Sue said: 'Back to school is an expensive time of year as research shows some parents spend over £300 kitting their children out for the new school term. Recommended reading: "Pester power caused by social media trends can bring an added financial headache for families with one in three saying they feel under pressure to spend beyond their means. "Cash strapped parents can save by stocking up on basics like polo tops, jumpers and stationery with supermarket deals, and it's also worth looking for 'nearly new' uniform on sites such as Vinted and eBay. "With branded uniform, buying 'outgrown' items through the school or your local Facebook group can also help save money. And local councils may offer financial help with school uniform costs, depending on where you live.'

Faked news articles appear online promoting cryptocurrency schemes
Faked news articles appear online promoting cryptocurrency schemes People urged not to be taken in by counterfeit 'investment opportunities' which appear to be news articles but are hosted on phony platforms and include fake quotes from the Welsh Government (Image: PA) Fake news articles are appearing online which promote cryptocurrency schemes - some of which are designed to look like genuine WalesOnline articles and featuring phony BBC footage. Links for the articles have surfaced on Facebook to readers with headlines such as 'Online platforms allow investing in stocks and cryptocurrencies' and 'Now anyone can become an investor'. One article, made to look like a genuine WalesOnline article but with the url ending with even had a picture of First Minister Eluned Morgan and a made-up 'interview' between her and journalists. The quote 'this is a special investment system, supported by the state and designed for the earnings of ordinary Welsh citizens' is attributed to her, but the First Minister has not said this and the interview is fake. Another fake article made to look like it was published on WalesOnline, complete with the website's usual logo at the top of the page, had the headline 'Welsh Government launches state investment platform', inviting people to 'safely invest and multiply their capital threshold'. This is categorically a fake advertisement and people who see such items or articles on Facebook or on any other social media platform are advised not to click on the link, and certainly not to sign up to any investments offered within it. Article continues below A spokesman for the Welsh Government said: 'This is a fake advert. We notified the Advertising Standards Authority last month and they had it taken down immediately. "We would never ask people to invest money, and we ask anyone who spots similar fake adverts to report them to us or the Advertising Standards Authority.' WalesOnline Editor David James said: 'There are fake articles circulating which appear to be news pieces encouraging people to invest in cryptocurrency schemes. "One of these articles has been designed to look as if it is on WalesOnline. It is being promoted on Facebook and claims that the scheme is backed by the Welsh Government.

Clydebank pub Glenhead Tavern teases £290k transformation
The Glenhead Tavern, soon to be renamed The Duntocher, shut its doors in January 2025. However, the boozer is being undertaken by Heineken-owned Star Pubs and new licensee, Clydebank resident Brian Carnochan, who also runs The Grant Arms in Glasgow.

Sharing the images on the social media platform, a spokesperson said: "The journey to remake the Glenhead Tavern is nearly complete. "The builders should be fully off-site this week.
