Girlfriend shows OTT way her man keeps their belongings safe at the beach & people beg him to try the ‘Balkan method'
SHORE THING Girlfriend shows OTT way her man keeps their belongings safe at the beach & people beg him to try the 'Balkan method' A DAY out at the beach always sounds like a good idea when the sun is out. But when you get there, you realise it isn't as relaxing as you imagined, from trying to dust off sand to making sure your personal belongings are safe. Advertisement 2 Fjona shared the OTT measures her boyfriend took to keep their items safe on the beach Credit: TikTok/@fjona_04 2 But many recommended the 'Balkan method' instead Credit: TikTok/@fjona_04 Taking to social media, Fjona revealed she was at the beach with her boyfriend when he came up with a holiday hack to keep their belongings safe so they could go for a swim together. Rather than taking on the usual tactic of asking someone to keep an eye out he decided to bring their items into the ocean. Fjona wrote: "Your boyfriend is an overthinker so you have to put all your stuff in a plastic bag and take it with you while swimming." In the video, we saw them taking a dip in the crowded sea. Advertisement Next to the couple was a pool float bobbing along, which was holding up the plastic bag with their items. The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @fjona_04 with over 400k likes. But people were quick to offer the pair an easier solution. One commented: "Teach him the Balkan method." Advertisement The user went on to explain that the 'Balkan method' was to put your items in a bag, dig a hole in the sand and place them there. You then want to cover them slightly before putting your beach towel on top. Shoppers 'need' new suitcase from Primark - it's perfect for EasyJet and there's even a matching £7 flight essential too Another agreed: "What? Everybody knows that the safest place for your money, car keys and other important belongings is under your clothes and/or towel." "Much better than the people that ask others to look after their belongings!! Advertisement "Imagine going to the beach for a relaxing day and being given a job to do so you can't even have a nap on your sun lounger because you have to be a security guard for someone you don't know," penned a third. Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it." Meanwhile a fourth said: "This is such a good idea because this is what puts me off going to the beach as an adult as there's no parent to watch my stuff." "That's genius for solo travellers,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "Wait that's actually a good idea."

I work in a charity shop & there's a gift nobody wants but people keep buying – please stop, we get hundreds donated
Read on for our top tips to find a bargain at the charity shop QUIT IT I work in a charity shop & there's a gift nobody wants but people keep buying – please stop, we get hundreds donated A CHARITY shop worker has released a public announcement begging people to stop buying items that always land in their stores. Meg, from the UK, took to social media to let people know what gifts you shouldn't bother buying for your friend. Advertisement 4 Meg shared the two gifts nobody wants that end up in her charity shop Credit: tiktok/@alottameg 4 Cheese boards and cheese knives were constantly being donated Credit: Card Factory In the clip, the young woman said: "Your friends don't want a f**king miniature cheese board set for Christmas. "And do you know how I know that? "Because we get donated about 500 of them. Every year." Meg said it wasn't just during the festive period either, the circulation of unused cheese boards and fancy cheese knives was constant all year. Advertisement And to make it worse, the shops can't even sell them "We can't even put them out because we can't have sharps in the shop," she explained. She also shared another item charity shops were sick of seeing - elephant trousers. "Those stupid f**king elephant trousers that everyone wears when they go travelling around Asia," she said. Advertisement "I don't want to see them anymore. Okay? I understand it's fun when you're out there, but why are you bringing them home?" Meg asked what was the point in buying something you know you won't wear when you get home, warning people to 'stop frivolously buying s**t." 4 And these printed trousers always ended up in the store Credit: I hit the jackpot with a random £2 charity shop buy worth £115 The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @alottameg with over 1.2 million views and 133k likes. Advertisement People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments. One person wrote: "Me watching this in my gifted elephant trousers." Another commented: "I appreciate you putting this out there, I'm sick of pointless gifts that the earth doesn't want." "Lol I work in a charity shop & the influx of teacher gifts we've had in the last couple of weeks is crazy!" penned a third. Advertisement 4 She warned people to stop buying stuff just for the sake of it Credit: tiktok/@alottameg Top charity shop tips for bagging a bargain Ross Dutton has been a manager for Crisis's charity shops for four years and currently runs the charity's Finsbury Park shop in London. Choose your area - As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated. Don't hang around - If you see something you like, buy it, as it'll likely be gone when you come back Look out for cut-off labels - Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn't sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes. Stay at home - While some charities have their own site, like Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell from dedicated eBay stores, such as British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won't get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you're looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Ignore her… I want a mini cheese board set for Christmas." "I'll happily accept a mini cheese board set,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "This now makes sense why I can never find cheese knives in the charity shop."
