0 Миття вікон сприяє не тільки естетичному ефекту, воно також очищає від плівки, яка ховає під собою небезпечні речовини. Вчені, які представляють Університет Бірмінгема, встановили, що немите вікна можуть бути небезпечними для здоров’я, оскільки на них утворюється шар, що є укриттям для багатьох потенційних патогенів. Ці речовини осідають на вікнах із забрудненої атмосфери. Якщо їх […]

SUMMER is nearly here and many people are looking to get their gardens looking beautiful in time for BBQs and sitting out in the sun.
One woman shared how she got rid of her bland concrete tiles and replaced them with a gorgeous £6 Wickes buy.
Instead of forking out for expensive decking, she decided to lay decking planks down in her back garden, and then she added stones around it for a pretty effect.
Rachel Clutterham told Fabulous: “My garden was worn, unlevel and a trip hazard.
“I looked around for ideas and inspiration for what could be achieved on a small budget and could find nothing.
“The idea came about when Wickes delivered the decking planks and they were just laid on the ground!
“It all came from there, and so I came up with a design I liked and simply glued them down and added shingle to fill in the gaps!
“It had brightened up the garden no end.
“And the plus side of using the Easihold is that it leaves them with a lovely shine.”
She then spent a further £60.60 on one more decking plank which was sawn to make stepping for garden gate end.
She also added four more bags of shingle to lay over the slabs and then £35.00 on Easihold to seal it all.
She added: “Just a few little bits to complete at the end of it and it’s all done for £300.
“Not everyone’s style but it’s cheap, tidy and manageable for me.
“Apart from that, the dogs and myself are happy.”
Rachel said she was “fed up” of seeing “budget garden posts that weren’t realistic for a lot of people”, and decided to share her idea on Facebook, where it has racked up nearly 5,000 likes.
One person praised her saying: “This looks fabulous, do-able and affordable.”
Another added: “Very unique, I love it.”
And a third commented: “It’s just lovely, well done and a bonus that was done on a tight budget.”
Rachel replied, saying: “Thank you everyone for all of your lovely comments.
“Even if it helps one person with an idea for their garden I am thrilled.
“It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely a budget garden and I’m happy with it.”
Total cost: £238.00
LOUIS VAN GAAL has launched a stunning broadside on former club Manchester United.
The Dutchman was in the Old Trafford hot seat between 2014 and 2016.
Van Gaal, 73, won a solitary FA Cup during his tenure as United boss.
And he’s been watching their horror 2024/25 season from afar.
The Red Devils finished without silverware last term, languishing 15th in the Premier League.
INEOS owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe employed Ruben Amorim midway through the season to stop the rot.
But results continued to slide under the former Sporting Lisbon chief.
Van Gaal told Sky Sports: “It is still a commercial club.
“It is not a football club. I have said that before – and that’s always difficult.”
The 73-year-old believes the club will never find success unless Amorim is given the chance to choose his own players.

He continued: “When [it’s] not the manager deciding which player has to come, it’s very difficult.
“I think that is the way it should be.
“Because then you can fire the manager because he’s not getting results.
“When other people buy the players, then you have a problem.
“You need to have the knowledge [of the manager] because he has to train them.”
Van Gaal also begged United chiefs to “pay attention” to the way Premier League champions Liverpool are operating under Arne Slot.
He added: “Arne Slot is the man who says to his technical manager, you need to buy this player.
“Pay attention to [that].”
Van Gaal won 54 of his 103 games in charge at Old Trafford.
His overall win percentage with the club stands at 52.43 per cent.
That figure is lower than three United managers who have followed him through the door at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Erik ten Hag all boast higher win percentages.
But current boss Amorim has the lowest of all five.
The Portuguese manager has won just 16 of his 42 games in charge – a paltry win percentage of 38.10 per cent.
That’s the worst of any permanent United manager since Frank O’Farrell in 1971.
A DEAD body has been found in a car outside Asda.
Cops rushed to the supermarket in Abbey Lane, Leicester, at 7.10am on Saturday.
A man in his 70s was found dead – though police have not released further details about the circumstances.
A spokesperson said: “Shortly after 7.10am on Saturday police were called after a man was found unresponsive in his car in Exploration Drive, Leicester.
“Officers attended, along with the ambulance service, and the man, who is in his 70s, was declared deceased at the scene.
“There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and a file will be prepared for HM Coroner.”
STEPHEN Mulhern made the ultimate slip-up during the latest episode of Celebrity Catchphrase.
The TV host was seen on Saturday in the latest episode of the gameshow favourite, joined by Jeremy Vine, Charlie Hedges and comedian Luke Kempner.
As the group got to grips with the latest game – which shows famous sayings turned into cartoons for contestants to guess – Stephen found himself slipping up.
Encouraging the gang to make a guess, the encouragement resulted in him accidentally spilling the answer himself.
As the clip showed a man going into a coffee shop with rapidly increasing price tags until they burst through the ceiling, Stephen declared: “Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!”
The contestants then stood in silence for a second as an embarrassed Stephen clocked what he had said.
Jeremy Vine eventually broke the silence, pressing his buzzer and asking: “Sorry, what? Was that the answer?”
Stephen then embarrassingly nodded and burst into fits of laughter alongside the cast and studio audience.
“I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!” he admitted.
Luke Kempner then joked: “I was just thinking ‘this is a very tricky one, if it’s not that!” before declaring Stephen had won himself £200.
“We’ve got a bit of Catchphrase history here!” added Jeremy, poking fun and adding: “Roy Walker never did that.”
Stephen was soon crying with laughter before eventually regaining his composure and continuing with the game.
Hopefully Stephen has learned his lesson – considering the show has already been given the go-ahead for an 11th series.
If the three celebrities can ‘say what they see’ they could get the chance to win £50,000 for their chosen charity.
ITV commissioner Gemma John-Lewis said: “We’re delighted to announce a further series of the much loved family favourite, Celebrity Catchphrase.
“The only show where you say what you see, the hugely popular series continues to win legions of fans and with Stephen’s infectious and playful humour it’s a firm favourite with our viewers.”
It is good news for the star after his other ITV programme, In For A Penny, was shelved after six years.
JOE McCARTHY sent a pointed message to Leinster critics after they booked their place in the URC Grand Final.

It gives them the chance to end the season with silverware after losing to Northampton Saints in the Champions Cup semi-finals.
Leinster last won the competition in 2021 – when it was still called the Pro14 – and Joe McCarthy is looking forward to getting a chance to end the four-year wait.
He told RTE: “Definitely needed that.
“It is our first URC final so it is massive for us.
“We need fans behind us now. We are into Croke Park so it is exactly where we want to be.
“There is always pressure.
“We have never reached a URC final, disappointment this year already so we want to finish strong want the fans backing the side.
“I think the fans were great today. We need more of that next week.”
McCarthy could not resist aiming a dig at critics of the province when asked by Jamie Heaslip what the team’s motivation was.
He said: “We know everyone loves to hate Leinster. That definitely drives us on.
“We have a great fanbase and don’t really care about the outside noise – what you guys say, what other fans say.”
Saturday’s game was played in front of 15,762 people – a slight improvement on the 12,879 that attended their quarter-final win over Scarlets in the Aviva last weekend.
There is sure to be a bigger attendance at Croke Park for the final against the Bulls on June 14.
And the Ireland international deemed the occasion as the stuff of dreams.
He beamed: “It is unbelievable.
“To play in Croke Park in a URC final is the stuff you dream of as a kid. It is why you play the game.
“We want a huge crowd out at the game.
“It will be a great day hopefully and we will rip into this week.”
