London bus baby ads

A 54-year-old woman is so desperate for a baby that she's advertising on London buses for an egg donor.

Linda Weeks, a librarian of Maidstone, Kent, says the £2,000 ads are her last chance of becoming a mum.

She and husband Richard, 48, have been trying to start a family for 14 years, reports the Mirror.

They have spent £10,000 on unsuccessful IVF treatment and suffered the heartache of a miscarriage.

The advert shows the couple of their wedding day, in 1993, and says "Don't we look happy!"

But it goes on: "We'll never be Mummy and Daddy unless a wonderful woman aged 36 or under can help us by donating some of her eggs. You are our only chance of happiness."

Linda said: "I'm hoping somebody reads it and takes pity on us. I'm hoping it's third time lucky. The fertility clinic can only keep us on their list for another year - we have to give it one final go."
