Glastonbury festival: 'My stoma won't stop me enjoying myself'
Outfits picked, backpack packed, tickets at the ready - like anyone else heading for Glastonbury this week, Lucy Smith-Butler is gearing up for one of the biggest events in the festival she has one other consideration - packing the essentials for her stoma 26-year-old had surgery to get the stoma bag fitted when she was 19, two years after being diagnosed with a bowel disease called ulcerative colitis, a long-term condition which causes inflammation of parts of the digestive stoma, a small hole in her abdomen, removes the waste from her body into the fitted bag, which Lucy has to regularly empty. Over the past few days, she has been sharing her festival prep with her 21,000 TikTok followers."I'm just excited to see it," she says, referencing what will be her first Glastonbury experience."I love festivals because you just disappear from reality for a while." This may be Lucy's first experience of Glastonbury, but she has been a festival enthusiast since she was 13 years she says attending events before she had her surgery was difficult."I just didn't know what the facilities would be like," she says."But then as soon as I had my stoma bag, I was like, 'Oh, right well, let's make this work again.'"Lucy's condition means she has additional access needs and requires a clean space to change her stoma bag, as well as access to disabled toilets. She says it's not always been a pleasant experience, recalling one instance where she says she had to physically show a steward her stoma bag before she was allowed to use an accessible of the biggest problems Lucy says she faces is dirty festival toilets - even the accessible ones which are used less."I just changed my stoma bag in my tent most of the time, just because I know who's been in there, and it feels like the cleanest place," she says."There should be places for us that are clean and are up to these standards."Lucy is hoping that will be the case this week, and has so far been impressed with her experience of arranging her accessibility needs at Glastonbury. She says she booked her tickets as normal and then contacted the festival to arrange access to the areas says there are no separate weekend tickets for festival-goers with access requirements, but they are committed to being an event which is accessible to all. Anyone needing to use any of the access facilities must complete the festival's online access application form, and have either a valid access card or the digital Glastonbury access access card translates a person's disability or impairment into symbols, to communicate their access needs to the venues and service providers."The process for Glastonbury was a lot more thorough than any other festival that I've ever been to," Lucy of the festival, she was sent a wristband with a code number on to be able to get into the accessible toilets - something she says she has never seen at a festival her large social media following, Lucy says she is determined to raise awareness of what it's like to go to festivals and other big events with a stoma bag, or other accessibility needs. Her followers often reach out to her for advice, she says, adding that her top tips are to:Contact the festival as soon as you have booked your tickets"Prepare, prepare, prepare" – prepare for everything that might happenCarry all your supplies with you all the timeGo with friends who are supportive and understand your needsAnd most importantly: don't forget to enjoy yourself As well as being able to share her experiences and advice online, Lucy says her social media presence has helped her to make friends at festivals too."I was literally bawling my eyes out," she says as she remembers a chance meeting with someone who had decided to attend their very first festival after finding Lucy's social media page."When you know you've helped someone, it just feels really nice."Ultimately, Lucy says the best thing to do as someone feeling nervous about going to a festival, but wanting to see what it's like, is just to give it a the difficulties she has experienced both before and after her surgery, Lucy says she now "can't imagine a world where I wouldn't go"."The worst that can happen is that I might have a leak, and then I'll just sort it out," she says."You've just got to try it."

I wasn't going to fork out for a professional birthday cake for my son, so made a Minecraft one myself with M&S bargains
WE all want to give our kids a magical birthday, no matter the budget. And one mum has shared how she created a personalised Minecraft cake for her son's birthday without paying a professional. Taking to TikTok, Cara, a mum-of-five, made her own delicious cake for her son's birthday using M&S and Amazon buys. In the clip, she said: "Come DIY my son's Minecraft birthday cake using two cakes from M&S. "I feel absolutely awful but I left it way too last minute to order Noah a birthday cake, then I couldn't get one booked in anywhere so thought I'd go to M&S and do it myself." She said her son was a big chocolate lover so grabbed the M&S chocolate Mini Bite Cake for £20 and the Cookies and Cream cake. She used the cookie flavour cake as the bottom tier and removed the chocolate decorations and moved them to the chocolate cake that would suit on top. To make sure the two cakes were secure, she stuck a few cocktail sticks into the bottom one before placing the other on top. Next, the savvy mum had some Amazon bits to complete the cake and turn it into a Minecraft bonanza that Noah would love. She was able to find a Minecraft logo and happy birthday sign made out of edible rice paper, so cut them out and placed them on top of the cake. Cara also found some Minecraft figurines made of icing and stuck those on top as well. "These are amazing," she said, "And I just popped them all over the cake. 3 You can make school cake in the air fryer with just 6 ingredients - it's ready in minutes & perfect for an after-school snack "Noah is Minecraft obsessed and Steve is his absolute favourite character, so I know he's gonna absolutely love this. The final cake was perfect for her son and the rest of her family to enjoy while celebrating his birthday. Cara added: "I mean it's not the best cake in the world but I know he's gonna absolutely love it and it was literally on a budget." The clip of her DIY cake was shared on her TikTok account @ cara_mamato5 and soon went viral with over 170k views and 2,800 likes. The cost of a professional birthday cake can vary massively depending on how big you want it and what decor you want. A basic sponge or character cake from the supermarket can cost between £10 to £20. A small personalised custom cake from a bakery or cake maker can set you back up to £60. While medium cakes, with multiple tiers like what Cara made can be an eye-watering £100. How much do experts advise spending on a child's birthday? A study by major toy retailer TK Maxx revealed that one in three parents admit to spending less on presents for their own children and their children's friends compared to five years ago. Average Spend: Parents spend an average of £175 on birthday gifts for their kids, while presents for their children's friends can cost up to £95 a year, adding extra strain on household finances. Gifts and Parties: Children receive around 12 presents per birthday, and parents take their kids to an average of four birthday parties annually. Top Five Gifts Parents Buy for Children: Clothes: 49% Books: 46% Technology: 39% Traditional Board Games: 38% Remote Controlled Toys: 26% Dolls: 25% How Much Should You Spend on a Child's Birthday? Experts generally suggest keeping birthday spending reasonable and within the family's budget. A common guideline is to spend around £10 to £20 per year of the child's age. For example: 5-year-old: £50 to £100 Remember, the focus should be on creating memorable experiences rather than adhering strictly to a spending rule. Simple, thoughtful, and creative celebrations can often be just as enjoyable and meaningful for the child.
