Stopping smoking does wonders for your health & your pocket!🚭

Once you stop smoking your body starts to feel the benefits, after just 48 hours of being cigarette free your lungs will start clearing out mucus, and your sense of taste and smell will start improving.

Saving Money:
The average smoker has 13 ci******es a day, which works out as 364 ci******es a month. That's £141 a month and £1,696 a year that you could be saving by not smoking. If you're looking to quit this year there's lots of support available for you:

Toilet Training Tips 🚽
Check out these helpful tips from ERIC UK to support your little one on their toilet training journey:

🚻 Get them involved: Start by letting your child help with changing their nappy. Change them standing up, let them assist with clothing, and wash hands together afterward.
🚻 Talk about potty time: Use the right words for wee and poo. Let your child know if their nappy is wet or dry and talk about what’s inside.
🚻 Use a reward system: Create a fun reward system like a sticker chart or lucky dip. Celebrate each milestone, like getting dressed or washing hands!
🚻 Read potty training books: Find picture books about potty training and enjoy them together!
🚻 Reach out for support: Talk to your health visitor or children's centre for additional advice.

🌟Brush last thing at night before bed and on 1 other occasion.
🌟Use only a smear of toothpaste.
