Hello and welcome to that’s life!

This week we reveal the shameless mum, Pam, who's living a life of luxury on benefits. And even worse, she's proud of it! What drives women like her and why is she so certain she deserves every penny? Have a read and let us know what you think? Perhaps it's not Pam's fault but the state of the benefit system itself? 

 

We've also got a very honest account from one mum of how she admits she let her children down by not being able to show them the very thing all mothers normally have in abundance — love. What's most astonishing is she was nominated for our Single Mum of the Year competition by her adoring daughter!  So why was this mum bereft of such basic feelings and what makes her daughter think so highly of her. It's an interesting story that will certainly get you thinking.

 

With Valentine's Day coming up, we've also got some lovely gift and fashion ideas plus the chance to win a romantic weekend for two to London. If you don't fancy that, we've some terrific cash prizes. So get puzzling and good luck!

 

Wishing you all a great week,

Editor,

that's life!
