How to do your council house up on the cheap
Take inspiration from pricier shops and head to B&M, Home Bargains for interior decorations.
Head to YouTube for easy to follow tutorials on how to decorate rather than paying for professionals.
For a quick glow-up for your floors or anywhere with tiles, opt for stick-on vinyl to save on costs.
A lick of paint does wonders to make a room feel brand-new.
Switch out kitchen cupboard knobs for modern ones instead of buying brand-new cupboards
However, many had the same complaint, as one user begged: 'Please purchase a new shower head.'
A second chimed in and asked: 'Why didn't you replace your shower head?'
Whilst someone else wondered: 'Why didn't you do the shower head? It's still yellow.'

I dreamed of working in the City but couldn't read or write – I got a job most people never think of & now drive a Tesla
Read on to see how Nicole bagged her dream job LIFE LESSONS I dreamed of working in the City but couldn't read or write – I got a job most people never think of & now drive a Tesla A WOMAN has revealed how she got a job in the city without any qualifications. Nicole Collings, from the UK, took to social media to share her story and how she bagged her dream job despite not knowing how to read or write. 3 Nicole revealed she still landed her dream job despite not being able to read or write Credit: tiktok/@nicoleisthisme/ 3 She ended up working in the City of London like she always dreamed of Credit: Getty 3 Now she can even afford her own Tesla Credit: Getty The mum said: "When I started my first job in London in the city I couldn't read or write." Nicole said she struggled with learning growing up but her mum always reassured her that she had 'good looks and common sense' which would get her far. She added: "She'd say, 'As long as you keep your wits about you Nic, and you always look the part, you'll be fine, you'll be fine, don't worry about it.'" Nicole said she never really improved her reading or writing skills and 'winged it' her whole life. But Nicole was determined to work and earn money so decided to work as a waitress despite dreams of working in the City of London. Determined to change her life, she went into her mum's back room and used the computer to create a CV that was 'really badly spelled.' With her CV in tow, Nicole got the train to Canary Wharf, bought herself a new outfit and leather handbag and started handing out her CV. "And there was me, walking around like I really knew what I was doing, but I didn't have a clue," she explained. She ended up in a recruitment agency and sat down with the branch manager as he went through her CV. "He was a bit bewildered. He couldn't actually believe the confidence that I had matching with the CV that looked like a five-year-old had made it," she explained. She was then asked to do a test, but she was honest with the manager and said she wouldn't pass while letting him know she was good on the phone and was happy to learn on the go. By the time she got to the station, he had called and offered her a job. "And that is how I started working in the city with literally not being able to read or write," she explained. "Basically the moral of the story is don't worry about what you haven't got. You are unique and you have got something. So fake it until you make it." Now Nicole is able to afford a 2023 Tesla worth £35,000 and goes on lavish holidays each year. The clip went viral on her TikTok account @nicoleisthisme with over 97k views and 7,000 likes. People were quick to praise Nicole in the comments. One person wrote: "Do you know what, you should be so incredibly proud of yourself! Truly." Another commented: "I love your confidence, you haven't just got where you are because you are pretty, you have a great personality and come across as a very lovable person." "Honey, intelligence isn't all about academia, it comes in all forms. Well done for all of your achievements," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Well done. You should be super proud of yourself! Great video!" "What a story! You deserve every good thing that comes your way,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "This is so inspiring."
