I need £90k or me & my kids'll be evicted & I'm begging strangers to help -I may be deluded, but what choice do I have?

Taking to TikTok, Rhiannon admitted that her plan does seem "delusional" and "far fetched".
"But I feel like if I don't even try to raise the money then I'm letting my boys down", she said.
The mum does not give further details as to why she believes she will be evicted
Rhiannon's plan is to post a TikTok video every day until September 1st 2027, when the 806 days is up.
As well as documenting her journey, she hopes to make money from the TikTok Creator Fund, which pays TikTokers for the content they create, dependent on how many likes and views they get.
This means that if strangers help her out by interacting with her TikTok videos, they can help her to make cash.
"I would never ask for any money, but I am going to ask for your engagement", she said.
To reach her goal, Rhiannon needs to make £111.66 every day.
"And yes that does sound impossible, even for me", the ambitious mum said.
As well as using the Creator Fund, Rhiannon also plans to sell some of her belongings, and look for some "side hustles."
"I know this is unrealistic and probably not going to happen, but I at least have to try", she said.
Rhiannon is now on day 53 of her journey, and has set up a donation page where people can "buy a brick" which has had 454 supporters so far.
Her video, posted to the account (alittlebitofrhi) has gone viral, racking up over 959,000 views on the video sharing platform.
One person said: "Selling on Vinted has made me loads!
"Commenting to help."
A second person said: "Commenting so you can get paid."

Woman shocked to see what she looks like before and after climbing Yr Wyddfa

Woman shocked to see what she looks like before and after climbing Yr Wyddfa Vivien recently shared a video of what she looked like before and after she climbed Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon), and she couldn't believe the difference. The hike really was an experience She couldn't believe what she looked like after the hike (stock image) (Image: Getty Images) Life is all about going on adventures, and there's arguably no better place to explore than Welsh mountains. One woman recently learnt that hiking in Wales can be fun, but full of surprises, after climbing Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon) recently, and the story will likely make you chuckle. ‌ Vivien, known as on TikTok, recently shared what she looked like before and after climbing the famous peak in North Wales, and the results left her pretty shocked. It's fair to say her outdoor adventure was unique, and she had more than a few surprises in store when she was exploring what our beautiful country has to offer. ‌ Alongside a clip of the video, Vivien wrote: "Lol, my smile in the beginning to my shocked face at the end." When you watch the video, you get to see that Vivien's hike got off to a bit of a foggy start, and it's not the first time this has happened. ‌ As well as this, she said the weather was also super windy and it started to rain. Vivien admitted she nearly got lost, and then she showed what she looked like at the end of the journey. In a nutshell, she was drenched, with soaking wet hair and quite a glum expression. It just goes to show how quickly the weather can change when you're out and about. Content cannot be displayed without consent ‌ Over the video, she also wrote: "Did someone say climb Snowdon and get lost and almost die in 70mph wind and rain?" She was fine in the end, and she made light of the situation. None the less, it's always important to be careful when exploring nature. It looks as though Vivien walked the mountain with others, so she wasn't on her own at the time. Yr Wyddfa is a mountain in Snowdonia in North Wales. It is the highest mountain in Wales, with an elevation of 1,085 metres above sea level. It's also the highest in the British Isles, south of the Scottish Highlands. ‌ Snowdon is also a designated national nature reserve for its rare flora and fauna. If you want to visit, you'll find it situated in Snowdonia National Park. There are various lakes on the mountain, with the largest being Llyn Lydaw, which is situated on the eastern flank. In the past, the mountain has been dubbed the "busiest in the United Kingdom." Back in 2022 it was recorded to have been climbed by 543,541 walkers. There are six main paths to the summit, and the most popular starts in the town of Llanberis to the north. Article continues below You can also reach the summit via the Snowdon Mountain Railway, which managed to carry 98,567 passengers in 2021. It's a super popular mountain that's visited by thousands of people every year. During super busy periods, such as summer weekends, people have been known to queue at the summit of Yr Wyddfa in order to gain access to the summit pillar. This usually takes place at the steps leading to the trig point; however, it's still possible to enjoy the summit area without joining the queue.

I visited a British nudist beach for the first time and it was hilarious – now I'm hooked on being naked on holiday

DURING our recent heatwave, when UK temperatures hit a sizzling 34 degrees, I must have caught a touch of heatstroke, as I had this mad idea... I wanted to get naked. Publicly. In the throes of post-divorce life, I'm having, what I like to call, a midlife renaissance –not crisis! 6 6 6 This is presenting itself in the form of tattoos, endless trips abroad, and, ahem, a foray into naturism. Nude sunbathing is not just about thrill-seeking, it's also about reclaiming my body. Now in its 53rd year, my beautiful sack of sausage skin has housed three children – two at the same time, in fact – it has run marathons, climbed mountains, and suffered more than its fair share of debilitating hangovers, but so far (touch wood) it has never let me down. Nakedness is just one of the many things I'm enjoying about getting older. I grew up in seventies suburbia, when our bits and bobs were largely kept under wraps. I was twenty before I exposed my body publicly. It was a girls' holiday in Majorca '92 and still tipsy from the night before, my friends and I decided to go topless and I can remember how liberating and natural it felt. While thirty years later my pups aren't as pert as they used to be, but it doesn't mean that they don't deserve their time in the sun. Brigitte Bardot started the trend for topless sunbathing in 1958 on Pampelonne Beach in St Tropez. Lorraine presenter strips completely naked as she heads to UK's 'biggest naturist festival' Presumably ending up golden bronzed with no tan lines - seems like a great idea to me. A few years ago, I visited the same beach in France and topless bathing was still very much the norm, particularly amongst Gallic women my age. I was tempted to let the girls hang loose too, but my teenage son threatened to call the authorities. Since getting divorced, I have travelled around the world on my own and with friends. My kids are older now and prefer going to the beach with their mates. Luckily, I didn't have to travel as far to find my local nudist beach. As a Brighton girl, the naturist beach, which opened in August 1979 and was the first public nudist beach in the UK, was the butt ('scuse the pun) of many jokes growing up. 6 6 6 Naturism in Britain became popular in the seventies but British people still a bit stiff upper lip about flashing your bits in public. However, according to British Naturism, there are now 6.7 million naturists in the UK today. I keep this figure in mind when I take myself down to our nudey beach on a sunny afternoon. Walking towards the clothing-free zone, I start to feel a little nervous. What if I know someone? Or someone recognises me? Sandwiched between two 'normal' beaches, where children squeal and splash in the shallows, the clothing-free area is shielded by a bank of pebbles and has signposts warning bathers they're entering Brighton Naturist Beach. Peeking over the top of bank, I could see forty maybe fifty men and women of all ages sunbathing naked, bar the odd couple of ladies who were just topless. I take a furtive look around and casually wander over to a quiet spot and fling down my towel. I unclip the clasp of my bikini top, fling my arms in the manner of Barbara Windso r in Carry On Camping, and it drops on to the pebbles. I look around again, take a deep breath and then shimmy out of the bottoms. Of course, nobody bats an eyelid at this now naked, middle-aged, woman grinning like a Cheshire cat. Naturist etiquette means no staring, no pointing and certainly no photography. At first, I lie on my front and look around at everyone minding their own business, and enjoy the sun beating down on my bare bottom. It felt like I had joined a secret club. With no dress code. Being naked around other people is a strange but exciting sensation. I'm very aware of the cool pebbles imprinting their shapes on my bum cheeks the fresh salty air blowing around my lady parts –a blessing in this heat. Far from feeling vulnerable, I feel safe, relaxed and I'm only sorry I haven't tried it out sooner. Relaxing further, I start reading my book and soon forget that I'm lying stark naked on my local beach. Now feeling cocky – again, do excuse the pun – I saunter down to the waters edge for a little dip in the briny sea. This is the moment when I became a fully committed nudist. Swimming in sea as nature intended is easily the most fun you can have with your clothes off. Well, almost... I have never felt more free. In fact, even when the summer is over and I can't tan with my top off, I am planning to come back for more naked dips. Just me and the sea, there is nothing like it. Turns out, my new appreciation for social nudity has arrived just in time. This summer, thousands of people across the the UK will be dropping trow for the Great British Skinny Dip, a campaign by British Naturism to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. There are 500 or so events happening all summer and all over the country, so beware, a certain naked divorcee could be coming to a city or beach near you soon. Five of the best beaches in the UK to get starkers on the sand Go natural with the naturists. The UK beaches to bare all without blushing this summer Studland Bay, Dorset Officially, Britain's most popular naturist beach with wide sandy plains and lots of space to spread out. Park at the Knoll Beach car park before an easy hike along the half-mile beach until you reach the National Trust boundary informing visitors that 'naturists may be seen beyond this point'. The Strangles, Cornwall This naturist beach is perhaps the most beautiful in the UK. It's so secluded it was once used by smugglers, making it ideal for shy first-time nudists. The shoreline has large rock pools to cool off in, but open-water swimming is not recommended due to the strong tide. Park near the National Trust farm of Trevigue. Then, it's a walk down to the well-signed beach. Brighton beach, Brighton One of Britain's oldest and most popular nude beaches is also the most accessible, only a mile walk east of the famous Brighton Palace Pier. Brighton made a little bit of seaside history on 1 April 1980 when it opened its naturist beach - the first public naturist beach in the UK. Signs are provided to indicate where the naturist beach commences and large banks of pebbles shield you from the general public. Druridge Bay, Northumberland Each autumn equinox, Druridge Bay hosts the annual North East Skinny Dip, with more than 100 participants. The dune-backed sands are beautiful and offer privacy, so are well-loved by naturists. Park at the National Trust car park then hike towards Chevington Burn, a shallow waterway that crosses the broad beach. Dyffryn, Gwynedd This is a long sandy beach with easy access but can get windy on a blustery day, so many sunbathers bring a windbreaker for added protection and privacy. Linked to the Morfa Dyffryn National Nature Reserve, the sea here is clean and safe, so a popular spot for naked swimming.

Love Squared's deputy safeguarding lead, Essi Pentti, told BBC Radio Bristol: "There is so much stigma around talking about mental health, particularly with young people, and we are trying to break down that stigma by having a very visible platform there." The charity provides education and mentoring to children and young people across Bristol and the South West, at schools and in the Pentti said: "There are such huge waiting lists for services, so we're trying to help children achieve the best they can and support them with their mental health through mentoring." They continued: "The pressures on children today are so huge. School is tricky, social media is so big, there is a lot of stress when it comes to academic performance. "Particularly post-Covid we've seen such a rise in young people struggling with their mental health." A 250-mile static bike ride will also be held in the charity's tent at the are invited to pedal a few miles towards the total to help raise money for the charity's services.
