Helsinki Circular 2 Seater Bistro Set £50
As many households are utilising their gardens to escape the heat indoors this summer, bistro sets are a popular investment.
If you're still due a garden glow-up, Dunelm is on hand with budget options, so you don't have to spend hundreds to improve your outdoor space.
The Helsinki Circular 2 Seater Bistro Set includes two chairs, made from waterproof fabric which keeps them from getting damaged if left outside.
They also fold up, so you can neatly store them away in a shed or even take them with you to family gatherings or BBQs when extra seating is needed.
The table is topped with glass, so it should be easy to wipe clean if you spill food or drink.
For those with a tiny balcony who've given up hope of fitting in a dining table and chairs, this could be the perfect option.
Or, if you have a bigger garden but a small patio and are lacking somewhere informal to enjoy a drink outside, you could invest in the £50 set without splurging.
Unlike many of Dunelm's deals that become reasonable once they drop into the sale, this set is affordable even at its full price.
Many of the retailer's cheapest deals sell out - especially garden products during the current heatwave.
Shoppers are leaving their reviews on the outdoor deal, with one saying: ''Fantastic compact chairs and table, looks great for my small garden and a space saver.''
Another commented: ''Good value for money, stylish and very practical as the chairs fold for easy storage.''
''Only dropped a star as the bar at the rear of the seat is a little uncomfortable if you sit too far back.''
While a third praised the low price, adding: ''Absolutely delighted with this set! ''
Great value for money and easy to put together.''

Or, if you need somewhere to store your new garden chairs, the Keter Store It Out Midi 880L Garden Storage Box is currently on sale, reduced from £130 to £100 at Argos.
Argos also has a charcoal BBQ slashed to just £11.20, which is handy for garden gatherings on a budget.

Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.

Inside Reese Witherspoon's intense diet and fitness regime amid summer romance with boyfriend Oliver Haarmann
Reese Witherspoon is loved up and looking better than ever. The Legally Blonde actress, 49, was recently papped appearing completely smitten with her financier boyfriend, Oliver Haarmann, 57, during a sun-kissed holiday in Saint-Tropez. The Hollywood star looked sensational in a white swimsuit in photos obtained by Daily Mail as she kissed her boyfriend and frolicked in the sea. While the couple packed on the PDA as they embraced on their lavish yacht break, fans couldn't help but ogle and applaud Reese's enviable physique – and it's clear that a disciplined exercise routine and diet has played an integral part. Here, Femail takes a closer look into how Reese manages to achieve her radiating skin and trim figure. First things first, the mom-of-three has maintained that her diet is 'all about balance.' In a social media post on July 14, she noted how she enjoyed eating pizza, pasta and gelato for seven days during her whirlwind vacation in the south of France. Following the holiday, Reese jumped on a health kick and whipped up a healthy green smoothie in a video shared on Instagram, which consisted of two heads of romaine lettuce, spinach, a banana, celery, one pear, one apple, and an entire lemon. The Legally Blonde actress was recently papped looking sensational - and completely smitten - with her financier boyfriend Oliver Haarmann in Saint-Tropez She added in coconut water for the base. Reese previously shared the same recipe five years earlier on her official Hello Sunshine YouTube page. Discussing the green juice, she said: 'I have this instead of breakfast. I have it around 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning and then I'm not hungry at all until 1 o'clock.' Reese credited Django Unchained actress Kerry Washington for telling her about the recipe. She said: 'I sat next to her at an awards show, and I didn't really know her, and I said your skin is so beautiful, what do you do?' 'And she said, I think it's from this drink that I drink, it's just really changed my skin and it's made my hair and nails really strong. So, thank you Kerry for sharing the recipe.' In another post, Reese maintained her quest for a balanced diet as she revealed some of the items she can't live without. Among the items included in her list was fresh peaches in the summer, real yogurt soft serve, homemade chocolate, and tacos. In 2019 Reese told Radio Times in the UK that she typically starts her day with no food. 'I just have a green juice and a coffee in the morning,' she shared in an interview with UsWeekly. 'I don't believe in crash dieting or anything like that... I work out all the time anyway just to stay healthy.' As for her exercise routine, Reese is nothing but disciplined and ensures she works out every single day. 'I exercise every day and eat right every day, no matter what is going on,' she told the 2023 Australian Real Estate Conference, per Marie Claire Australia. 'If I'm working way into the night, I eat with frequency and I take care of my mind and spirit.' In 2020, Reese's personal trainer Kirschen Katz revealed her grueling pre-Golden Globes fitness regime in an interview with PopSugar. According to Kirschen, she would begin her workout with a gentle run spanning between three to five miles. After her run, Reese would do an upper-body weights workout before a 30-minute yoga session. To end her workout, Reese would finish with some breath work. In January 2023, she proudly displayed her toned tummy in a blue bra top and leggings from her very own clothing brand Draper James as she showed fans some of her yoga positions. Reese was working out on a patio while listening to a song from Lizzo. Her moves included lunges and side bends. Besides yoga, Reese likes to keep fit by playing pickleball and hiking.

Jamie Oliver's ‘simple sausage pasta' makes a speedy midweek family dinner – it's packed with hidden veggies & serves 6
PASTA is a firm favourite for millions of families, perfect when finances are stretched. But for inspiration to take you beyond the usual spag bol or lasagne, check out this delicious recipe by the one and only Jamie Oliver. 2 The celebrity chef, 50, regularly arms us with scrumptious meals that don't take ages to prepare and call for a handful of ingredients which don't cost a fortune. His simple sausage pasta is one of them - ready in under an hour, this hearty dish is packed with hidden veggies and serves six. ''Sausage pasta is a firm favourite in the Oliver household,'' the dad-of-five said on his website. ''I've got this easy recipe for a quick sausage ragù, where we stretch the meat further by squeezing the sausagemeat out of the skins, and bump it up with River's favourite, chickpeas.'' For the recipe, you will need: four pork sausages or veggie sausages, four sprigs of rosemary or two teaspoons fennel seeds, two cloves of garlic, olive oil, 320g fresh or frozen chopped mixed onion, carrot and celery, 400g tin of chickpeas, two x 400g tins of quality plum tomatoes, 450g pasta shells, optional: Parmesan cheese, for grating. Method Place a large shallow casserole pan on a medium-high heat. Once hot, squeeze the sausage meat out of the skins into the pan and break it up with a wooden spoon. Sit regularly and dry until the meat becomes lightly golden, stirring regularly. The simple chocolate cake recipe using only TWO ingredients - it's sweet and you won't even need to put it in the oven If you're using veggie sausages for the recipe, roughly slice and fry in one tablespoon of olive oil until golden and crispy. When the sausage meat is nice and crispy, roughly chop the rosemary leaves and finely slice the peeled garlic. Drizzle one tablespoon of oil into the pan, then add the chopped mixed vegetables, rosemary and garlic for a flavour bomb. Season to taste, then combine everything with a masher and cook for an extra ten minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients have softened. Jamie Oliver's career history 1999 - Jamie Oliver's first television series, The Naked Chef, premiered on BBC Two. It quickly gained popularity and lead to his first cookbook. 2000 - The Naked Chef won a BAFTA Award. 2002 - He launched the Fifteen restaurant in London, providing opportunities for disadvantaged young people to train as chefs. 2005 - Began the Jamie's School Dinners campaign to improve the quality of school meals in the UK, leading to significant changes in government policy. 2008 - He received the TED Prize for his efforts to improve unhealthy diets and food practices. 2015 - Campaigned for a tax on sugary drinks, which was then introduced in the UK in 2018. 2023 - Announced plans for new restaurant ventures and still works on campaigns for better food education and sustainability practices. Pour in the chickpeas for an extra protein kick and scrunch in the tomatoes along with one tin filled with water, mashing everything up until fine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a medium-low heat and simmer for 30 minutes. By then, everything should become thick and delicious, and it's time to give it all a mash with a potato masher. When the sauce has around 12 minutes remaining, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water and drain - but don't forget to reserve a mugful of the cooking water full of starch to make the dish thicker. When the pasta is ready, toss the carb goodness into the sauce, adding splashes of the water to loosen the dish if needed. Grate over Parmesan to your liking and drizzle with a little olive oil, if you like, and voila, a hearty pasta dish in less than an hour. According to the foodie, this creamy sauce is also a great one to keep in the fridge or freezer for busy weeknights.
