Hi ,

It's June, the month summer finally arrives, so we've put together this list of 25 wonderful ways to make and save money in the summer.

Speaking of summer, now we should be getting more sunshine it's the perfect time to check out the FREE solar panels offer if you missed it before.

We also show you how you can get paid to help a new mum - oh, and don't forget our doula course competition is still open if it's something you're interested in.

Plus, we discuss the top 5 unspoken objections to hiring job seekers over 50 so you know what to look out for.

On top of all that we've got a Father's Day Competition Bonanza! Every day this week there'll be a new prize to win perfect for Father's Day, so keep coming back to check the competition page.

Oh, and we've got a brand new blog you'll love if you're a creative person - Kamal's Crafty Living. This week Kamal shows you how you can make your own DIY whiteboard.

Check your inbox next week for more great money makers, money savers and subscriber-only offers.

Love,
Jasmine

PS. We've got two competition winners to announce this week. 

Firstly, congratulations to Shreya Bundel, you're the winner of the tickets to the BBC Good Food Show and Gardeners' World Live.

Secondly, congratulations to Gwen Fletcher Maynard, you're the winner of our Kopi coffee competition.

Well done to both - your prizes are on their way!

PPS. If you have childcare experience there are a lot of good jobs around right now with not enough nannies to fill them.

For example, a film director needs a nanny in Marble Arch, there's a full-time live-in job in a country estate in Oxfordshire and well-paid positions in Chelsea and Belgravia still empty.

Check them out at the Top Notch Nannies website or give the agency a call on +44 (0)20 7824 8209.
