If you're sick of tripping over your vacuum cleaner cord as you race to hoover up piles of glitter and crumbs, it might be an idea to think about switching to a cordless model.
Bosch Readyy'y
Landing in stores on Sunday, August 24th, the Bosch Readyy'y cordless vacuum cleaner is an absolute bargain at just £99.99.
In fact, it's £100 cheaper than the exact same model on the Bosch website, where you currently have to fork out £199.99 for the vacuum.
The series two model is "perfect for quick cleaning jobs around the home", and features a floor brush that can tackle all types of flooring.
It can be used as either an upright or handheld vacuum, making it perfect for tackling both floors and kitchen surfaces.
The handy gadget folds completely flat, allowing you to clean underneath furniture without having to do any heavy lifting.
Plus, at just 2.4kg, it's super lightweight, making it easy to transport throughout the home.
With a 40-minute run time, the nifty bit of kit can easily tackle the whole house on just one battery charge.
And once you plug it in, it takes just four to five hours before it's fully charged up again.
Arriving in stores as part of Lidl 's bi-weekly Middle of Lidl offerings, the bargain gadget will be located in the middle aisle of Lidl stores.
However, as with all middle aisle buys, once they're gone, they're gone, so you better be quick to snap up the bargain.
Customers have taken to the Bosch website to rave about the cordless vacuum, with many rating it five stars.
One satisfied shopper said: "Excellent machine. It does the whole of our 3 bed house, and hard floors, before I have to recharge it.
"Its kept tidily away in a cupboard with a plug. It's easy to open and empty the dust."
Stacey Solomon's cleaning tips
IF you want a home that gleams like Stacey's, you'll need to listen up!
Label Everything: Stacey swears by the power of labelling. From pantry jars to storage bins, clear labels help keep everything organised and easy to find.
Daily Tidy Routine: Dedicate 15-20 minutes each day to tidying up. This prevents clutter from building up and makes weekly deep cleaning less daunting.
Baking Soda Magic: Stacey uses baking soda for a variety of cleaning tasks. It's great for deodorising carpets, cleaning grout, and even freshening up mattresses.
Upcycle Containers: Repurpose old jars, tins, and containers to store cleaning supplies, craft materials, or kitchen ingredients. It's both eco-friendly and cost-effective.
Shine with Vinegar: White vinegar is a staple in Stacey's cleaning arsenal. It works wonders on windows, mirrors, and even limescale build-up in kettles.
Make It Fun: Turn on your favourite music or podcast to make cleaning less of a chore and more of a fun, productive activity.
Use a Toothbrush: For those hard-to-reach spots, a toothbrush can be an excellent tool. Use it to scrub grout lines, around taps, and in other small crevices.
Declutter Regularly: Stacey advises a regular declutter session to get rid of items you no longer need. This keeps your home neat and creates more space for the things you love.
Air Fresheners: Create your own natural air fresheners using essential oils. Stacey loves using lavender or citrus oils to keep her home smelling fresh.
Microfibre Cloths: These are essential for dusting and cleaning surfaces without leaving streaks. They are reusable and can be easily washed.
Incorporate these tips into your routine for a cleaner, more organised home, just like Stacey Solomon's!

JLR opens new energy farm that is the size of 36 football pitches!
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has opened a solar farm the size of 36 football pitches at its Gaydon headquarters as part of efforts to increase its energy independence. The 26-hectare, 18MW site can generate enough electricity to power a third of the British firm's base. The site is home to JLR's design, engineering and R&D teams. It is part of a move from JLR to source at least 30% of its global energy use from on-site renewables, while also reducing its reliance on grid energy – and therefore fluctuating energy costs – and improving its environmental impact. A similar project is being completed at its Wolverhampton Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre. There, one of the UK's largest rooftop arrays, featuring more than 18,000 panels, will open in the coming months. This will be able to generate around 9500 MWh of energy each year, meeting 40% of the site's needs. Next year, the marque will install 10MW of solar car ports at its Merseyside site. These include canopies and solar walkways – structures like these are quite common in hotter countries, such as Spain. They will mostly provide energy for EV charging. JLR's chief sustainability officer Andrea Debbane said the steps were 'important'. She added: 'They directly reduce our global operational emissions and help move us closer to our net zero goal, whilst delivering tangible value today and for the long-term.'

Vauxhall reveals 789bhp Corsa – it's faster than a Bugatti Chiron
The brand's 'Vizor' fascia has also been redesigned. While current models feature a gloss black panel, on the concept it's transparent with daytime-running lights behind. The griffin motif now also lights up. Adams said this is an element that Vauxhall is exploring for production: 'We've got a clear philosophy, but you want to find fresh new ways to refresh it, revive it, but that is still anchored in good core DNA. So we're not throwing everything away every time we want to refresh it. And that's just an example where we're exploring.' While the interior is a stripped-out affair, it still houses potential production elements, said Adams. The bucket seats, for example, are split in two, with the backrest hung from the roll-cage and the seat attached to the floor. This makes 'one of the heaviest parts of the car much lighter' than in today's EVs – 'a fundamental rethink'. In an effort to reduce the driver's mental load, the concept doesn't contain any screens. Only a handful of physical buttons are present for key functions. Future of GSE In July, Vauxhall relaunched the GSE sub-brand as a badge for performance-honed EVs with the 276bhp Mokka GSE. This Corsa concept, however, moves the dial even further and shows where Vauxhall wants to take GSE, said Adams. It gets 789bhp and 590lb ft of torque from a dual-motor powertrain, weighs just 1170kg and is claimed to hit 62mph in 2.0sec – faster than a Bugatti Chiron. Top speed is capped at 199mph. These figures are hypothetical, however, given that the car can be driven only in the Gran Turismo video game. However, Adams argued that the figures are 'realistic' and could 'in theory' make it to a production model, saying: 'If you were going to get a max but be on the realistic end of max, then they are believable figures.'

Fears new Labour property tax will hit the hardest workers, as Rachel Reeves's minister refuses to rule out controversial new levy to replace stamp duty
faced a furious backlash yesterday over a possible and highly controversial shake-up of property levies. The Chancellor was warned that proposals to replace stamp duty with an annual charge on homes worth more than £500,000 would damage the market as well as punish people who have worked hard to own their houses. And one of her Treasury ministers refused to rule out the possibility of her introducing the radical change in the Budget as she seeks to fill a £50 billion black hole in the public finances. Labour vowed before the last election that it would 'not increase taxes on working people', ruling out rises in National Insurance, income tax or VAT. But that language seemed to soften yesterday. Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride said: 'Labour can equivocate all they like, but we know they are drawing up plans to raise taxes yet again at the Autumn Budget. ' Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves promised not to raise taxes on working people, then introduced a £25 billion Jobs Tax – which will leave the average working household £3,500 worse off. 'Now, after their botched welfare reforms and economic mismanagement, they are clearly gearing up to do it all over again this autumn. 'The British public simply cannot afford Labour. Only the Conservatives believe in sound money and low taxes.' As part of her efforts to fill the Government's coffers and boost economic growth, Ms Reeves is understood to have asked officials to look at a potential overhaul of property taxes. She has already been called on by economists to scrap the current system in which buyers having to pay thousands of pounds in stamp duty on house sales, which they say deters people from moving. The Guardian reported that owners of houses worth more than £500,000 could have to pay a 'proportional property tax' based on the value of their properties when they sell up. However, sources played down the claims that Treasury officials are looking at this proposal or threshold. Sources also moved away from suggestions that civil servants are drawing on the findings of a report published last year by think-tank Onward, which proposed that only future owners could pay an annual tax based on the value of the property instead of stamp duty. Under the plan put forward by economist Professor Tim Leunig, current homeowners would not be hit by the charge but if they do sell up in future, their buyers would pay the levy each year instead of stamp duty at the point of purchase. Kirstie Allsopp, the TV presenter who fronts Location, Location, Location, led a furious backlash over the reported plans It is intended to open up the property market by making it less expensive to move and encouraging those in large homes to downsize. TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp warned the Chancellor not to risk destabilising the market by 'flying kites' about potential new property taxes, telling Times Radio: 'It's not Rachel's to go after because it's their homes. 'It's the roof over their head. And this Government seems to want to punish people for making the sacrifices they've made to buy their own homes.' James Browne, senior economic policy adviser at the Tony Blair Institute, said: 'While replacing stamp duty with a new annual property levy on homes worth more than £500,000 is economically sensible, it would be politically challenging. 'Either long-standing homeowners who are asset-rich but cash-poor would be hit with much larger bills or, if it only applied after a property changed hands, would discourage moving just as much as stamp duty does at the moment.' Treasury minister Torsten Bell told Sky News: 'Tax decisions are made by the Chancellor. I'm not going to start speculating on individual taxes.' Last night a Treasury spokesman said: 'We are protecting payslips for working people by keeping our promise to not raise the basic, higher or additional rates of income tax, employee National Insurance or VAT.' What are the plans for a 'national property tax'? What is being proposed? The Treasury is said to be considering plans for a national property tax on the sale of homes worth more than £500,000. What would this replace? This tax would replace stamp duty on owner-occupied homes. Buyers pay stamp duty under the existing framework, if they purchase property worth more than £125,000. How would the new tax work? The new levy would be paid by owner-occupiers on houses worth more than £500,000 when they sell their home, with the amount due determined by the value of the property and a rate set by the Government. What figures could be involved? This has not been confirmed. But a report by think tank Onward last year suggested replacing stamp duty with an annual 'national proportional property tax' levied on homeowners of houses with a value above £500,000, at a rate of 0.54% - plus a 0.278% supplement on values over £1million. A separate local property tax set at 0.44% of the house value up to £500,000 and with a minimum of £800 per household per year could replace council tax. What are current stamp duty rates? Stamp duty rates for buying a single property are currently 2% from £125,000; 5% from £250,001; 10% from £925,001; and 12% from £1.5million.
