I made my own built-in outdoor pool using old palettes and a cheap paddling pool, everyone says it looks like a pro job

A DAD has shared how he built an outdoor pool using cheap buys. Pete Elliot took to social media to show off his DIY skills and people were left seriously impressed. 2 The dad said he made the pool for his son but was also reaping the benefits after slaving away on the build. He said: "Finally done. Not bad for around £315. Pretty much all the money went on the framework with £64 on varnish and a few quid on screws. "So glad I had a pallet load of timber from years ago that cost me £45, as that's the wood you see. "I didn't even scratch the surface with that wood either so the main bit you see cost under a fiver. "It is now my new favorite part of my garden." The pool looked lavish with its wooden frame and steps leading up to the decking and people were stunned by his crafting skills. He first varnished the wood before putting up the paddling pool and building the frame around it. Once it was done, he gave the wood a final varnish to ensure it didn't get spoilt by the water. Pete continued: "Hopefully many summers will be enjoyed sitting on it with my feet dangling in the pool with a beer in my hand." He later revealed that the pool was kept warm with a heated topper that also keeps it clean. Parents are scrambling to The Range to nab new kids' toys - there's inflatables, swimming pools and up to 40% off To keep the pool clean, he used a net to fish out any debris as well as chlorine tables and pool algae cleaner. The chuffed dad also said he would only keep the paddling pool up for summer and put it away when it gets cold again. The post was shared on the Facebook group, Garden Makeover Ideas On A Budget, and people were quick to praise the dad for his DIY skills. One person wrote: "Absolutely awesome, and the fact you built it probably gives you a sense of achievement, congrats." Swimming safety advice Experts have revealed some of their top advice for both adults and kids heading to the water this summer: How to stay safe at the beach Gareth Morrison, Head of Water Safety at the RNLI said: "If you find yourself being swept out to sea in a rip, try to relax and float until you are free from the rip and you can then swim to safety. "If you see someone else in danger, alert a lifeguard or call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard." How to stay safe at the swimming pool Tiny Hearts Education, former paramedic and CEO Nikki Jurcutz said: "Always put your little one in bright or contrasting colours that would be easy to find in an emergency. "It only takes 20 seconds to drown, little tips like this could save a life". An Auqabliss spokesperson added: ' Swimming toys such as noodles, dive rings, floaties and beach balls can be dangerous if left in the pool. ' Children may try to grab these from the pool's edge and fall in." How to stay safe at a waterpark Ali Beckman, Puddle Ducks Technical Director, said: "Never send a child down the slide on their own, not only are they going to be entering the slide pool area independently, they then have to exit the pool and wait for an adult. "And wave pools should be avoided until your child is really confident with water going over their faces and you know they are able to regain their feet independently. ' Waterparks are often very busy places and it's easy to lose sight of a child in a split second." "Brilliant, looks amazing," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Stunning." "I love this,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'Looks great I could do with one of those in my garden."

Yvette Cooper ‘on resignation watch' after spending row with Reeves

Yvette Cooper's rows with the Treasury over spending have been so heated that officials fear she will resign. The Home Secretary is understood to have warned Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, that Labour election promises were at risk from a lack of investment in policing. In one meeting last week, Ms Reeves is said to have abruptly brought talks with Ms Cooper to a close. There are also claims a senior Home Office official stopped taking calls from the Treasury. Sir Keir Starmer has had to directly intervene to end the stand-off over the spending review. Downing Street on Monday said Ms Cooper had agreed to accept the Treasury offer, which includes a real-terms increase in policing budgets. Multiple well-placed government insiders told The Telegraph that the negotiations between Ms Cooper and the Treasury became so fraught that there was discussion about whether she would quit. An ally of Ms Cooper on Monday evening denied that she might resign, noting she had been talking to aides about her diary engagements for the rest of the month earlier in the day. But the fact that some figures in Downing Street and the Treasury have considered her departure a distinct possibility underscores how tense the talks became. Labour promised in its 2024 general election manifesto to halve violence against women and girls, reduce knife crime and establish 13,000 more community police officers. As Home Secretary, Ms Cooper is responsible for delivering those promises but it is the Treasury that decides how much money can go into policing. Treasury insiders are framing the police as a winner in Wednesday's spending review, which sets departmental spending for the next three years, as the policing budget will rise in real terms. But the degree to which police chiefs have launched into a public lobbying campaign against the Treasury – one still running over the weekend – suggests they fear it will not be enough. The Tories believe that, even with real-term police spending rises, it is likely that total officer headcount in England and Wales will fall from its peak of 149,000 in 2024 in the years ahead. Ms Cooper was the last cabinet minister left standing when Angela Rayner, the Communities Secretary, who has also battled with the Treasury, settled her budget on Sunday evening. The Home Secretary finally agreed a deal with less than 48 hours to go until Ms Reeves announces her spending plans. One ally of Ms Cooper said of her tough negotiating approach: 'Yvette's been chief secretary of the Treasury. She knows all the best ideas in the book.' A senior Whitehall figure acknowledged that the talks between Ms Cooper and No 11 had been fraught and prompted discussion among aides and officials that she could resign. However any decision to go would likely mean the end of Ms Cooper's front-line political career, since she would not be expected to be welcomed back into the cabinet under Sir Keir. The details of the policing budget, when they are published on Wednesday, will be closely scrutinised for their impact on officer numbers and the delivery of flagship pledges. In a series of interventions in the last few weeks, police chiefs and associations representing officers have been publicly challenging Ms Reeves to go further on police pay. In an article for The Telegraph on Monday, the heads of the Police Superintendents' Association and Police Federation of England and Wales warned that police forces were 'broken' and had been forced to shed officers because of cuts. As an unprotected department, the Home Office has been in Treasury cross-hairs as spending is squeezed from an annual real-term increase of 2.5 per cent to 1.2 per cent. Above-inflation rises for the NHS, extra money for schools and a marked increase in defence spending means other Whitehall budgets have been facing real-term cuts. On Monday, Ms Reeves announced that nine million pensioners will now get the winter fuel payments – a major reversal in policy after all but the poorest lost them last summer. Now pensioners in England and Wales with an income of £35,000 or less will get the annual payment of between £200 and £300 per household. Around two million pensioners whose incomes are above that threshold will get the money but then have it clawed back through the tax system, meaning they will lose out.
