“I couldn’t believe it, I nearly skipped out of the shop I was that pleased.“I’ve actually kept the price tag on to remind me what a bargain it is,” she beams.

This Christmas, Charlotte, who started her online journey after a period of homelessness and the traumatic birth of Maeve, now aged four, has set herself a £5 budget for new festive decorations.“I got a little toadstool bauble for 50p, a rocking horse one which I will give to my mum," she says."My nana and grandad, who have passed away, used to have a rocking horse so I thought that would be a lovely memory for her tree."

She has also picked up a bag of Playmobil characters for a few pounds to replicate the firm’s more costly Advent calendar for Maeve.“There was no way I was paying £25.

“I’ve created my own which looks great. I’ve stuck all the numbers on the wrapped-up figures so she has to pick it out and find the numbers herself so it all helps with her maths too which is a bonus.”

Charlotte says she finds it quicker to get around charity shops rather than a traditional high street search and cites them as a “win-win”, adding: “You’re donating to charity and saving money, so everyone benefits."According to a report, more than 1,600 AV1 devices are now being used to help pupils in other areas of the UK stay connected to their education and friends.

Details of the scheme were discussed at a meeting of the council's children and young people scrutiny committee.Jacqui Dundas, the council's head of inclusion, strategy and performance, said: "If you've broken your leg and can't get to school, this robot will sit in your classroom with your peers and you will be able to communicate with the robot.

"The teacher can ask you questions and you can also answer as well, so it's very interactive."She said schools were "very nervous" around safeguarding issues but that the device had security measures in place and could not record anything.
