Hello there and welcome to Wednesdays edition of the Levy Letter. Are you enjoying the sunshine today? The weather seems to have brightened up as we have gone into the week so lets hope it will last!
School Finances Ive been reading today that primary and secondary school children will be receiving lessons on how to manage their finances. The My Money scheme is part of a £11.5 million government scheme and will cover topics such as how money is used and debt. The Personal Finance Education Group charity is leading the programme and commissioned a survey to mark the launch. The survey suggests that children are more aware of the credit crunch especially as parents may be discussing finances more openly. What do you think to this one? Do you think it is a good idea? Id love to hear your thoughts. You can contact me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Remember you can use this address for anything else you would like to discuss. Billies Baby Former Doctor Who actress Billie Piper has given birth to a baby boy. Her husband Laurence Fox confirmed that the baby was born on Tuesday morning at 0100 BST by emergency Caesarean. The couple have named the baby Winston James Fox and weighed 6lbs and 11oz. Congratulations! Britney Spears Im not sure if you are a fan but it seems that Britneys rise and fall has been documented by everybody. However she does seem to be making a good comeback but a court case in America could have seen her facing six months in jail due for driving without a valid driving license. The charge related to an incident in Los Angeles last August, when the pop star was photographed hitting a parked car and leaving the scene. The jury were unable to come to a decision and the judge has declared a mistrial. Prosecutors will not be pursuing the matter so Britney will not face a retrial. So things seem to be looking up for Ms Spears. Naked Burglar This might give you a giggle. Ive read that a naked man was found wedged in the chimney of supermarket in Wigan and was arrested on suspicion of burglary. Police officers found him trapped in a chimney breast and fire-fighters were called out to rescue him. He became trapped as he tried to get out. A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police has said "It is believed some of his clothes came off as a result of him struggling to get out of the chimney." How embarrassing! That is all for todays Levy Letter. I hope you will join me for tonights Look North at 6.30pm on BBC One.
