3 Year old boy waits for sleeping mummy to wake up over Christmas

A 3 year old French boy is thought to have spent days over the Christmas period waiting for his young mother to wake up. It is not known how long he spent sitting by the body of is dead mother waiting for her to wake up. At one point his grandfather called but the young boy said that mummy was sleeping. No one knows what he did for food and drink over that period. He is now being looked after by his grandparents.

Recycle Your Christmas Cards

Last year (yes I know it doesn’t sound right yet does it) we sent nearly 1bn Christmas card over the festive period, and now many of us are wondering what to do with them. They are several things you can do at home, cut them to use as gift tags or cards for next Christmas, have a creative craft session with the kids.

Alternatively there are several places you can take them to for recycling, one such scheme in the UK is run by the Woodland Trust in association with TK Maxx and M&S and HomeSense, by placing your cards in special bins at these retailers the cards are recycled and the stores make a donation to the Woodland Trust for planting trees through their More Trees, More Good campaign.

Recycle you real Christmas Tree

As the festive period come to an end many people are wondering what to do with that real tree, if the tree cam with it roots you could try and plant it in your garden. Also many local authorities have arrangements to either collect you tree with your normal green recycling rubbish or have special collection point where yu can take the tree for recycling.
