How to create privacy in your garden
CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden:
1. Fencing
Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy.
2. Hedges and Plants
Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier.
3. Outdoor Curtains
Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution.
4. Sound Barriers
A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.
Social media users react
The video - which many said they could relate to - has since taken the platform by storm, amassing close to a whopping 300k views and 294k likes in just two days.
More than 130 people also flooded to comments, where many suggested their solutions - some more hilarious and bizarre than others.
One joked: ''You should take the sheets away, turn your chairs round to face them....and sit there and watch them watching you all evening.''
Another chimed in: ''I can relate!''

Someone else chuckled: ''you should start doing random things in your back garden like wear black robes with a hood and start doing pretend satanic rituals with candles and freak them out lol.''
A fourth advised: ''get rid of the concrete, plant some trees nobody overlooks you then.''

Croke Park under fire for selling cans of Smirnoff Ice for a tenner
Music and sporting venues are under fire for the extortionate prices they are charging for alcoholic beverages, with Croke Park recently adding cans of Smirnoff Ice to their menu. A four-pack of the 250ml cans of the alco-pop are sold in off-licenses for €8, with Croke Park charging more than that for one single can. TikTok creator Dave Duke took to the video sharing platform to have his say on the new addition to Croke Park menu with punters being charged €9.50 for a can. Music and sporting venues are under fire for the extortionate prices they are charging for alcoholic beverages, with Croke Park recently adding cans of Smirnoff Ice to their menu. Pic: TikTok/ Dave Duke The radio presenter hit out, saying it was 'the biggest robbery in Croke Park since Louth versus Meath in the 2010 Leinster final.' ''Oh young people are boring; they won't go out anymore.' No, they just can't f*****g afford almost €10 for a can that's 250ml. You're talking nearly €40 per litre of Smirnoff Ice which is taking the solid p**s,' Dave hit out. 'Save the environment, drink pints.' @mrdaveduke Lads, will someone shout stop? It's completely out of hand. #crokepark #inflation #concerts ♬ original sound – Dave Duke Social media users took to the comments to have their say, with many agreeing with Dave and sharing other shocking music venue prices. 'I was in the Aviva last night and two Smirnoff Ice and a bottle of water cost me €21,' one revealed, with another sharing: 'It was €9 at the Zach Bryan concert as well, but so were the plastic cups of beer.' A third offered: 'Malahide is €10.50.' A fourth person had the perfect solution, however, stating: 'You're at a match, sit down and watch it. Bring in a bottle of water with you. The reason they are expensive is because ye buy them.' It's a fair point, but others responded noting 'they're expensive because of greed.' Another person wrote: 'Don't buy it. Simple.'

And in a post on the Supernanny Prepare for intense feelings "For a new blended family to be formed, a breakdown of an original family must happen, so it's normal for children to experience intense and sometimes overwhelming feelings: anger, disappointment, sadness, grief, guilt, worry and insecurity," she said. "When parents remarry or move in with a new partner who has children from a pre-existing marriage, a child faces further threats to his sense of stability." To help this process, ensure you accept and listen to all your children's feelings "without judgement or suggesting immediate solutions", and "convey an acceptance of their experiences with concern and empathy". Agree parenting roles "It's absolutely crucial to show a united front," Dr Victoria said. "The younger family members need to know that rules will be consistently and fairly applied, by both adults, to all children in the family." In a bid to put across a "consistent approach", take the time to "openly discuss your parenting values with your new partner". "Talk about those taken-for-granted beliefs you have about family life: what behaviour you expect and what you won't tolerate," she added. Push a problem-solving approach "A great way of avoiding simmering resentment is to arrange regular family meetings," Dr Victoria suggested. "Take it in turns to chair the meeting and avoid interruptions and shouting with the pass the stone technique: to be allowed to talk at the meeting, the 'stone' (a pen or apple or whatever you have to hand!) has to be in the speaker's hands. "There is only one stone, so only one person talks at once."

I'm a mum and I judge anyone who puts their children in a kids club – I was horrified by what I saw when I dropped in
IT was supposed to be a fun-filled holiday activity - a chance for her son to enjoy some supervised play.

'There's no kids playing. Kids are just literally bundled up on these tables. "They're not even being naughty. They're literally just sat there, with no one's talking.' This was particularly shocking to Charlotte since the session had been marketed as a superhero arts and crafts event.

Charlotte could tell her son wasn't keen on going in, but she reassured him that she wouldn't be long.
