Hi all,


I'm doing a project at the moment and it is focussed on juggling mums (i.e. full time/part time work plus look after kids). As I am not a mum, I wondered if anyone out there would be willing to share some info on their 'lifestyle'?


I need to find out in what kind of social situations you would crack open a bottle of wine, for example is it with a group of friends? What makes you sometimes buy something special? When you go shopping do you 'stick a bottle in the trolley' or is it a conscious choice? If someone offered to let you try something new, would you take them up on the offer? What would it take to make you buy it?


Finally, as a busy mum, when do you get time to yourself and what do you do when you get it?


Thanks everyone. I know that I am being nosey, however I can't afford to sling a few grand to a research company so all thoughts welcome.


Beazo

well spotted Ted Max, Bounty2009 has certainly been busy http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bounty2009&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enGB261GB261


It seems she works for an agency in London called Pass it on Media that "specialise in social media: from word-of-mouth / buzz / guerilla marketing to viral content creation and seeding."


Some call it creating a buzz, I call it spamming the forum and so she has been banned.

    • Hi all, just jumping in to help clear up some confusion around CityHive London C.I.C. CityHive is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that supports food banks, soup kitchens, and community hubs across London and surrounding areas. It operates in the same space as respected organisations like The Felix Project, City Harvest, and Fareshare. The key difference? Those larger organisations often receive big grants and corporate funding — but they’re able to do that because they pay professional bid writers to apply for those grants. And guess what? Bid writers aren't free. They’re often paid staff or consultants, which smaller groups like CityHive simply can’t afford. Instead, CityHive runs on the kindness and generosity of individual people — everyday donors, volunteers, and fundraisers who believe in what they do. Some have asked why a food-related group would need money. It’s important to understand: Money is essential for things like: Fuel and van hire to deliver food Buying fresh ingredients and shelf-stable items Renting storage space Basic admin to keep things organised and running smoothly If you’re ever unsure about someone fundraising for CityHive, you can always contact their office to verify. They’re happy to provide reassurance. If you want to see the impact of their work, check out their Instagram: @cityhivemedia. You’ll see the real organisations and people who benefit, showing their appreciation publicly. Not everyone can give money — and that’s totally fine. But even a like or a share goes further than criticism. Sadly, it feels like there are more haters than helpers out there right now. If you’re genuinely curious or concerned, ask for proof — and when it’s shown, help spread the good. Don’t just assume the worst about people trying to make a difference. Let’s be louder with love than we are with doubt. 💛
