People say you'd 'never guess' £14 pyjamas were from Home Bargains
People are already preparing for cooler nights with cosy pyjamas from an unlikely place As autumn draws closer, people are getting excited at the thought of having cosy nights in and wearing a nice new set of pyjamas. There are many places to browse through for nightware, but one 'unexpected' retailer is proving popular—Home Bargains. Some have been blown away by the quality of the budget store's soft Disney -inspired set that has shoppers getting in the seasonal mood already - despite it still being August. Captioning her eight-second TikTok clip, savvy shopper Cassie (@misscassie.93) shared her bargain discovery and said: "Halloween has started in Home Bargains. Best believe that fleece has come home with us!" The video showed off the Minnie Mouse pyjamas that cost £14. The set, which is available to view on the Home Bargains website but not buy as it is in stores only, claims it is "perfect for comfy, magical nights in". The store adds: "Get cosy this Halloween with the Mickey and Friends Ladies Pyjamas, featuring a soft long-sleeve top and bottoms adorned with cute gold piping and a playful Minnie Mouse pumpkin design." The collection goes beyond just fashion, with shoppers quickly getting "obsessed" over throw blankets and a Minnie Mouse-themed pumpkin. There were also some non-Disney items, including a giant plush pumpkin stack, wicker baskets, and pumpkin spice-scented candles. Plenty were quick to head into the comments section and share their joy at the sight of what's coming to a store near them soon. One said: "Those PJs look lush, never guess they're a [Home Bargains] buy!" Another added: "I love everything. Can autumn hurry up already!" A third wrote: "I'm gonna be skint, need it all!" Someone else put: "I went to 2 stores to find any of these today!" And, another confirmed: "Same here, I need to keep looking as the PJs are a must!" And, someone else issued a 'complaint' to Home Bargains. They wrote: "Should be a law that you can't have one store with items and not another. If you want to sell something this fantastic, it should be in all stores at the same time!" In other Home Bargains news, shoppers have been getting ready for a cosy night in with the pleasant smell of a candle wafting through the house. One caught attention this week when the lamp-style candle was spotted for £6 in the discount shop. Facebook page Ashleigh Money Saver was among the many that shared a photo of the must-have product. The post was captioned: "The confetti glass candle from Home Bargains looks STUNNING when all lit up at night!" And, for whatever is left of summer, shoppers can grab a unique £6 bag that could pass for one worth £100. Despite what some might think about rocking a rubber bag, shoppers were thrilled to see the Originals bag, which was quickly compared to big brands like Crocs and Bogg, but without the price tag. People loved the thought of using them as beach bags, carrying essentials without the worry of sand clinging to them like typical fabric bags. Home Bargains recently shared a clip showcasing its new addition on its official Instagram page. The video was captioned: "New in and only £6—The only bag you'll need this summer!"

Edinburgh bar unveils Oasis ‘Supernova' makeover ahead of Murrayfield shows
Fans named Noel or Liam can enjoy a free pint. A popular Edinburgh bar has unveiled an Oasis-themed makeover. It comes ahead of the legendary band's three sell-out concerts in the Scottish capital on August 8, 9 and 12. Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium is set to welcome around 200,000 Oasis fans across the three nights of their reunion tour. To celebrate the historic occasion, Cold Town House in the heart of Edinburgh's historic Grassmarket has changed its name to 'Cold Town Supernova'. The temporary name change is a reference to Oasis' song 'Champagne Supernova'. The track was written by Noel Gallagher and is the closing song on the band's second studio album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, which was released 30 years ago in 1995. In addition to the name change, Cold Town House has installed a new Noel and Liam Gallagher-shaped sign. It can be found on the outside of the venue, which offers views of Edinburgh Castle. Meanwhile, the bar is also putting on a limited-time promotion in honour of the Oasis gigs. Any Oasis fans named Liam or Noel can get the chance to enjoy a free pint of Cold Town lager as part of the celebrations. Cold Town House will also be serving a lasagna pizza special this weekend from August 8 to 10. The speciality dish is a reference to Oasis' song 'Digsy's Dinner' from the band's iconic 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe. Cold Town Beer takes its name from Edinburgh's Calton Hill, which was originally called 'Caltoun'—meaning 'cold town'. The bar has become a popular destination amongst locals and visitors alike. Sitting in the shadow of Castle Rock, the volcanic plug in the heart of the capital upon which the castle sits, the bar is a perfect spot to enjoy a beer while looking out over one of the UK's most iconic landmarks. General Manager at Cold Town House Nikk Stevens commented: "Forget the champagne this weekend. As the home of Cold Town Beer, we've taken the bold move to temporarily change our name from 'Cold Town House' to 'Cold Town Supernova' in celebration of the Oasis reunion tour in Edinburgh and as a nod to the band's famous song. "Sometimes you've just got to 'roll with it'. For us, there's no better way to celebrate the Gallagher brothers coming to Edinburgh than by raising a glass of the city's own locally brewed craft lager. "Cold Town Beer has fast become a significant name on the craft beer scene in its Edinburgh hometown and beyond. "Any Oasis fans called Liam or Noel can also enjoy a pint of Cold Town lager on us in the Grassmarket from August 8 to 10." Stevens added: "Cold Town House offers one of Edinburgh's most popular rooftop bar experiences. It's the ultimate city-centre location to enjoy outdoor gatherings with friends and family with the stunning backdrop of Edinburgh Castle." The Daily Record recently rounded up some of the top pubs and restaurants on the tramline to Murrayfield Stadium for those looking for some pre-concert food and drink. Vittoria on the Walk in Leith and Dulse in the West End were among the venues singled out. We have also taken a look back at the . The once-in-a-lifetime concerts were part of the band's (What's the Story) Morning Glory? Tour in 1996. More information about Cold Town House can be found on its website.

Worrying scenes as footy star suffers sickening injury in the opening minute of AFL clash
Collingwood star Jeremy Howe suffered a sickening head injury during the opening minute of his side's clash against Hawthorn at the MCG on Thursday. As Hawks star Mitch Lewis cleared his side's lines, Howe, leapt up in the air to take the mark but collided with Jai Newcombe as the pair competed for the footy. The pair appeared to bump heads in the clash, with Howe's head also appearing to hit the ground as he fell to the floor. The Collingwood defender lay motionless on the ground as play continued, but medics on the touchline immediately sprinted onto the field. Newcombe got back to his feet but Howe lay motionless, with team doctors arriving to treat the footy star. 'Just a big head clash and he was out straight away, the umpires did the right thing and stopped play immediately. All care needs to go to that man,' Kane Cornes said on Channel 7's coverage of the match. He was later taken from the field on a stretcher and was moving his arms in a positive sign.
