Feminism made me ashamed to be a mother. Now my children are teenagers, I bitterly regret wasting their baby years: JULIE COOK
There are times I look at my children and feel so proud I could burst. Alex, 16, has just taken his GCSEs and Adriana, 11, is a keen little actress and loves performing. They're smart, bright, kind and funny. As they grow older, I feel closer to them than ever.
But that pride is tinged with a bitter sadness. I wish I could turn back time and have them as toddlers again.

Popular kitchen gadget sold on Amazon is urgently recalled over ‘serious risk of fire & EXPLODING'
A KITCHEN gadget from Amazon has been recalled over a "serious" risk of exploding. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has now banned all imports of the Moongiantgo Food Dehydrator. 2 The entire product appeared to be riddled with issues, including faults with its fuse. On the OPSS website, it states: "The product is a serious risk of fire as the fuse has insufficient granular filler to ensure safe operation under fault conditions. "If the product experiences an electrical fault whilst in use, it may catch fire or explode." According to the body, it does not meet the requirements of Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and Sockets Safety Regulations 1994. The product was used to dehydrate various food items such as fruits, herbs, vegetables and meats. A similar item listed on Amazon, which meets the regulation standards, says it is fitted with a high-powered rear fan which delivers "consistent airflow throughout". The description reads: "A sleek digital control panel gives you full command of the dehydration process. "Set the temperature anywhere between 30°C and 90°C, and use the programmable timer for up to 24 hours of continuous drying." Another Amazon product was recalled over serious risk of injuries. The Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons have been removed from the online marketplace following the safety concern. Amazon's Affordable Foldable Tiny Home: Space-Saving Design and Features Revealed The toy was available in a pack of six on Amazon for £18. "The product presents a serious risk of injuries because it contains accessible magnets with a magnetic flux index that exceeds the acceptable level," the product's risk description reads. "Small, high-powered magnetic products can easily be swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. "The product also requires improvement to marking, labelling and documentation." Another children's toy was removed from the website over fears it could cause serious injury. The swimming float was also urgently recalled over fears it could cause serious injury or even drowning. The Joycat Baby Float, sold on Amazon, has been flagged as a safety risk. Authorities found that its attachable canopy could lift the float from the water in windy conditions, putting children in danger. The alert was issued in the UK following a border inspection. The blue and yellow sea-themed swim seat, intended for babies and toddlers, poses a 'serious risk of injuries', according to the Product Safety Report. If the float becomes airborne, a child could be thrown out and suffer an impact injury or drown. 2

Aldi launches £2.49 buy that will banish flies, wasps and mosquitoes from your home this summer – it works ‘instantly'
IF you've noticed an army of flies and wasps entering your home, fear not, you've come to the right place. There's nothing more annoying than relaxing on your sofa or enjoying a freshly-cooked dinner, only to have an irritating insect that won't leave you alone. 4 4 Flies tend to thrive in the warmer weather and reproduce quickly - and while this is great for them, it may not be so positive for us. The hotter weather also let's them seek out cool moist spots, like inside your home, to escape from the sweltering heat and to lay their eggs. But fear not, luckily for you, Aldi has now launched an incredibly effective solution that will banish the annoying pests from your pad in no time. Not only is it said to work 'instantly', but it also gets rid of mosquitoes too. And if you're on a budget, then you'll be pleased to know that this supermarket buy is incredibly affordable. So if your purse is feeling the pinch and you're searching for a solution that won't break the bank, you'll need to get your shoes ready and move quickly. Thanks to Aldi's latest drop of Specialbuys, shoppers can now get their hands on the Zero In Fly & Wasp Spray. It's priced at just £2.49, making it great for those looking to pocket pennies where possible. It's been described as a 'fast acting killer' that works to 'instantly stop wasps and flies'. This 'fast action formula' will 'kill flies, wasps and mosquitoes' and is intended for indoor use. How to Keep Wasps, Bees, and Flies Out of Your Home with a 5p Onion Hack This affordable spray works to banish insects on contact and you must make sure to thoroughly shake it before use. Spray directly at insects from a distance of 60cm to 90cm. Shoppers should note that this bargain buy contains Permethrin, Tetramethrin and PBO. Why do flies come out in summer? Flies are present all year round, but all of a sudden when summer comes, they are just EVERYWHERE! The main contributing factors are the breeding cycle of flies and the soaring temperatures. Insects are cold blooded and in summer, when their body temperature rises from the external heat, they become more active. The hotter weather also let's them seek out cool moist spots, like inside your home, to escape from the sweltering heat and to lay their eggs. House Fly eggs take around 20 hours to hatch, but when the temperature rises above 37 degrees, can hatch within 8 hours! In extreme hot weather the eggs can mature from larvae to adult fly in as little as four days. The average lifespan of a housefly is 21 days, so each female can lay up to 900 eggs during the summer months! It's important that users avoid direct contact with soft furnishings, carpets and polished areas. It is also not for use on clothing or bedding. It is available to buy from Aldi stores nationwide, while stocks last. But you'll need to get to your nearest Aldi fast if you want to nab it, as like all middle aisle finds, it is sure to sell out incredibly fast. Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff. Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals. It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers. Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process. It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.

‘There are so many rental hacks': meet the small-space interior influencers
The dance pole bang in the middle of Georgie Webster's living room is one of its less eye-catching features. The lounge has striking pink and peach walls, a sideboard painted in cubes of purple and orange, and an olive-green sofa, all of which come together to create a kaleidoscope of colour. On paper, it really shouldn't work, but the 36-year-old artist and interior designer has more than pulled it off. Thousands of other people seemingly agree. Webster is one of a growing number of small-space interior influencers who has had a boom in interest from young renters and first-time buyers looking to spruce up their compact homes. 'People think interior design is just for rich people but it's very much not. Everyone deserves to have a nice house and you can do things on a much cheaper budget,' said Webster, who runs TikTok and Instagram accounts under the name GeorgieWebArt. For many young people, the dream of home ownership is an increasingly fleeting one. Recent analysis by the estate agent Hamptons found that 3.4 million under-45s were renters, a figure that has risen by 149,000 in the past two years. In the same period, this cohort has experienced a collective £3.5bn rent increase, which has made saving up for a house deposit even harder. Webster is one of the lucky few young homeowners, having bought her flat in Bristol in 2022. Before that, she had rented numerous properties in the city for almost a decade. 'I've done all the house shares, from chaotic housemates to amazing ones,' she said. Having a place to call her own has allowed her to express herself with no limitations. Her kitchen is decked from cupboards to floor in peach and her bathroom ceiling is painted sky-blue with white clouds. 'Not many landlords would be happy with that,' she said. Her audience, which she said are mostly aged between 24 and 34, comprises of those living in small homes, including renters who face stricter rules on doing up their properties. 'There are so many good rental hacks now. You can put peel-back tiles and floors down and you can paint if you're willing to paint it back after,' she said. Some creators have been particularly creative, with one using double-sided tape to easily install boutique wallpaper that can be taken down and put up again in another home. For those who would not dare touch their walls for fear of losing their deposit, Webster has a top tip: 'Focus on adding colourful accessories and artwork. Rugs make a massive difference to a room. Go for the biggest rug you can afford because that makes a huge difference.' Webster's embrace of colour comes amid a shift away from 'millennial grey', a neutral style that was all the rage until the early 2020s. She believes style is not the only reason behind this change. 'I partly think this is because the world is quite sad at the moment so if your space is happy, then you feel happier. Plus, everyone is struggling a bit for money, people are spending more time at home,' she said. Other are still stuck with the creative limitations that being a renter brings. Alice Redfearn, 27, has long looked at the high-end interior design featured on Architectural Digest and House & Garden, but living in London, hunkering down in such grand, stately places remains a dream. Nevertheless, the marketing officer, who runs a TikTok account called MerakialInteriors, has found a way to bridge the gap. 'I think you can have an appreciation for a good taste in interior design but also not be there physically and financially,' she said. 'I thought other people must also be struggling with this, so I kind of started making videos to give advice.' Originally from County Durham, Redfearn has lived in four properties since moving to the capital. 'I've always gone for houses that have good bones, ideally with big windows and tall ceilings,' she said. 'Of course, you can only be so picky when you're looking with friends and you have a small budget.' For Redfearn, patience is key to making your compact space feel homely and unique. 'A lot of the furniture that I have is stuff that was free on Facebook Marketplace or found on the street in good condition that could be cleaned and reused. 'It's not a fast process either. The house is not going to look exactly how you want it to look immediately, but eventually it will through slowly accumulating furniture, artwork and other things over time,' she said. She has some foolproof tips to make your temporary abode feel more stately: swap out the curtains – which are often cheap and ill-fitted – for some fancy ones; mix patterns and colours using trinkets and furnishings; and make some clever choices to add some scale. 'If you want your deposit back, you probably aren't going to be hammering nails into walls,' she said. 'You can split the space in two halves by having furniture of all the same height – your table, sofa, and TV. Then, you can have a very large blank space on your wall.' Redfearn said it was understandable why some rented properties lack colour and personality. 'People are quite hesitant to inject time, resource and money into spaces they may not be staying in long-term because of reasons beyond their control,' she said. But for those who want to turn their homes into havens, despite the limitations, it can be done. 'Young people deserve to have a nice home,' says Redfearn.
