Are you bringing up a baby in unusual accommodation?

Hello,

Are you bringing up a baby or toddler in potentially difficult accommodation - maybe up five flights of stairs, or in an open-plan loft apartment, or in a yurt?

I'm looking for very short case studies for Practical Parenting magazine, which could be handled by email or by phone. I'd simply like to ask about the best and worst points about living where you do. A pictures of your family would appear in the magazine.

Other possibilities would be commune, substandard housing, squat, windmill, pristine minimalist pad, place with no road access - or anything else unusual. If your friends have ever asked 'How do you manage, living there?' then you'd be great for this piece.

Please contact me at emmawoollacott@googlemail.com if you're interested in taking part.

Thanks,

Emma

I'd like to bump this up, as my deadline is approaching!

Please do get in touch if you think you might be at all suitable - we'd just need to talk on the phone for five minutes or so about the positives and negatives of living where you do. Alternatively, you could email me.

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]
For a sceptical face,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
