We live in a caravan in our parents' garden – it's questionable & most of it doesn't work… but we've saved thousands
WHEEL GOOD We live in a caravan in our parents' garden – it's questionable & most of it doesn't work… but we've saved thousands Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A COUPLE have saved thousands by living in a tiny caravan in one of their mum's gardens. Freya Gill, 29, and her partner, Charlie Thackwray, 29, were living with their parents when they decided they needed their own space. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Freya Gil and her partner have bought a caravan to save cash Credit: SWNS 4 The caravan is located in her mum's garden Credit: SWNS Unable to get on the property ladder straight away, the couple moved into Charlie's mum's caravan. She got the caravan for free as it already came with her mum's home. Shortly after, they moved it to the plot of land they are currently living on in North Allerton, North Yorkshire. The pair remained in the two-berth caravan for a year, saving £2000 for the deposit to buy their next caravan. They upgraded their caravan three times, forking out £16k for a newer model with controllable heating, towel radiators in the shower, and an onboard water pump. Freya and Charlie say that they will continue living in it for another year while they save to buy land to build their own home and to keep chickens, goats, and alpacas. Freya said: "We are saving up to buy a plot of land as we want to do a field to farm, and anyone who knows that when buying land, you need a much larger deposit. "We are looking at a 25% deposit - money is a massive problem for everyone now, and this is a good alternative to save money. "The rental market is mental, but money aside, people have said they would like to live this way because of your freedom. "If we'd rented a property around here, it would cost £750 a month, and that would just not have been achievable for us. It's so hard to find a rental when you've got a dog." I bought a £26k caravan, trolls say it's a mistake but my bank account disagrees Before moving into their caravan, Freya lived in a three-bedroom house with her parents in North Allerton for £250 a month. The couple always dreamed of owning some land but realised that to do that, they would need savings, so they thought a cost-effective option was living in a caravan which they say is £500 cheaper than renting in the local area. Freya said: "The living conditions were questionable in the first caravan. "When Charlie's mum bought the house, the caravan came with the house from the 90s, and it had been there for quite a while. "Charlie renovated it, spending £200 by ripping out the floor and painting the interior, but because it was so old and a lot of the caravan didn't work, we decided to move." After a year, the pair moved out of their first caravan and lived in an Eldest Crusader bought from a local dealership for £4K for a year. Then in June 2025, the couple upgraded to an Adria Adora caravan for £16k - and they plan to live in it until they're in a position to buy their own farmland. Freya said: "It's a small space, so the bills are going to be lower anyway. We have set up our solar power system, and that has been a huge help to our savings. "The gas bills are low, and when we run low, it is £80 to get a new gas bottle. "We don't have to pay council tax or water bills, which is helpful. 4 The couple moved to North Allerton Credit: SWNS "We collect water and have a filtration system; we just have to pay for a new filter every month. "My friends always say to me that it is not the typical life in their twenties, but we are quite introverted people, so we like the fact that it is just us and we are in our own space." Currently, Freya and Charlie, a caravan dealer, pay £150 rent for the land they use, £55 on gas, £130 on finance, and £350 on food a month. Previously, they spent £250 a month on bills, but they now say they've saved a whopping £20k. Freya said: "We have saved so much money from living in a caravan - it is an excellent alternative to renting. "It has taken us three years to get to this stage, and we are both pleased with how much we have saved. "We are genuinely enjoying our time. I love that it is peaceful, and the sound of the rain is relaxing and helps me sleep. "Sometimes, people living in a caravan receive a common misconception, which is simply false. We want this lifestyle, and we like living this lifestyle. Freya added: "Charlie loves animals, but I have always been animal mad. I was raised on a small holding and want to return to that life. "I've always wanted to improve our place and make it our own. We have plans to build our farmhouse, and Charlie wants to build his lake. We can't wait for the future."

Six home improvements you can make WITHOUT planning permission as experts reveal top loopholes
A homeowner shares how she did an extension without planning permission HOUSE THAT Six home improvements you can make WITHOUT planning permission as experts reveal top loopholes Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GETTING planning permission for home improvements is notoriously long winded but it is possible to bypass red tape using loopholes. There are close to 350 sections of UK planning law, while each council has its own local plans and policies too. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 You can do several changes to your home without planning permission The result is a patchwork of rules that are a nightmare to navigate. Read our guide on improvements you can make without planning permission - as well as the loopholes to guarantee success for your project. Key phrase that could be a way around planning permission There is one key phrase that it could pay to know - permitted development rights. It might sound like planning permission jargon and you are right, it is. Read more on transformations TICKLED PINK I transformed my bathroom into a pink palace on a budget using £11.99 buy But it's also how you can make certain changes to your property without formal planning consent. The rules, which don't apply to flats or maisonettes, spell out exactly what you can build or convert, its size and how it must look to make it easy for homeowners to follow. The main benefit is certainty. If your project meets the national rules, it will be approved. The same cannot be said for planning permission which is open to each council's interpretation and can be rejected by one local authority but approved by another. It can be quicker but that's often down to the rules being simpler to follow so homeowners make less mistakes when filling in their application. Like a full planning application, you still need to submit drawings, plans and the correct fee for your project with all its measurements using the government's planning portal. Before your application is assessed for approval, it is checked to make sure it is complete. If it is incomplete or there is an error, which is more likely in full planning permission applications due their complexity, the planning officer will write to you to let you know, which creates delays. Create a paper trail Even if your improvements were approved without planning permission, Lisa Raynes, owner and architect of Pride Road Architects in the North West, recommends applying for a Certificate of Lawful Development from the council. 'It's about creating a paper trail so that when you come to sell your house you can prove to the solicitors that your extension met the correct rules at the time,' she said. Improvements you can make without planning permission 1. Rear extensions could add up to £27k You can build out from the back of your home up to three metres for terraced and semi-detached houses, or four metres for detached homes, without planning permission unless you live in a conservation area. You may be able to go even further without planning permission to six metres and eight metres respectively using another loophole - prior notification of a larger extension with neighbour consent. Your local authority contacts your neighbours about your plans giving them 21 days to object. You must stay within the height limit of four metres, use materials that match the main building and it cannot exceed 50% of your garden space. 2. Loft conversions and dormers could add upto £68k Loft conversions with a dormer are allowed without planning permission if you don't go beyond 40 cubic metres for terraces or 50 for detached and semis, and you're not raising the main roof height. But there a few restrictions, says Andrew Boast. 'You can't place a dormer on the front slope if it faces the road as that will usually need planning permission.' Roof lights are fine if they don't stick out more than 15cm from the roof slope. 3. Garden rooms and outbuildings could add up to £22k Garden offices have exploded in popularity. You can usually build a detached garden building without planning permission. It cannot be more than 2.5 metres high if it's close to a boundary, not in front of the house, and can't take up more than 50% of the garden area. There is a snag though. It must be for a side use, like an office or gym, not used as a bedroom or living area. A sneaky work around exists though which states if the building was already there and being used as an office, for example, you can later convert it to living space. 4. Granny annex (on wheels) could add up to £81k Under a little-known piece of law, the Caravan Act – it's possible to install a granny annex in your garden without full planning permission, explains Chris Willis, manager at modular builder OffPod. 'Often referred to as the caravan loophole,' he says, 'it must be moveable, not used as a self-contained home and comply with the size limits of a mobile home.' 5. Porches, garage conversions, and paving could add up to £54k You can build a porch without planning permission if it's under three metres squared and three metres high. It cannot be within two metres of a boundary with the road. Garage conversions are usually fine if you're not extending the building although it's always wise to check if your council has removed permitted rights on your road because it doesn't want more on-street parking. There is, however, another loophole says architect Lisa. 'A sneaky workaround would be to keep the garage door, leave the front as external storage and convert the back of the garage into something else separated by a partition wall. "Then you wouldn't even need to use permitted development rules.' If you're redoing a driveway, you can lay paving that allows water to soak through up to five metres squared in front of your house without planning, and more if you manage water runoff properly. 6. Solar panels could add up to £38k You can fit solar panels on your roof if they don't stick up more than 20cm above the roof line and aren't facing the road on a flat roof. I did a small extension WITHOUT planning permission SHARON O'Connor wanted more space in her two-bedroom semi-detached house in East London without losing too much of her garden. 'I have a slim, galley kitchen which opens into the main living area at the back of the house,' says Sharon, 50, a change and communications manager. 'It's long and skinny rather than a square space so I wondered if I could extend it to have more room.' After exploring smaller options, her dad, a retired builder, said she could avoid planning permission by using Permitted Development Rights. She chose a modern, steel framed extension from OffPod because they are quick to build, not having traditional concrete foundations, and stay warm in winter, costing £47,755. 'A small extension has really changed my house,' she said. 'I have a separate cosy living room where I spent most of my time. It's made a real difference.' Tricks to make your extension look bigger Hannah Soulsby, interior designer and educator, @anima_and_amare, says just because you are planning a small extension, it does not have to feel pokey. 'There's lot of tricks you can use to dramatically improve how large and airy your room feels,' she said. 'Even one skylight can brighten up a north-facing or narrow room. 'Use mirrors to bounce light around and visually double the space. High-gloss finishes on cabinet doors or light-toned flooring also help.' Don't forget building regulations Just because your work falls under permitted rights, it does not mean building regulations can be ignored. They must still be met and progress on the work must be checked and signed off by building control. Tell your home insurer Matt Durrant, insurance expert and MD of specialist property insurers i4me, says: 'When homeowners decide to create an extra bedroom, for example, either by converting a loft or using a partition wall in a larger bedroom they may not need planning permission but you must tell your insurer.' Home insurance is typically priced on the number of rooms in a property. If a home exceeds a provider's bedroom limit, even unknowingly, the policy could be void from the outset.

We're one of the world's tallest family, everyone is over 6ft – people stare but it earns us over £7m a year
Their fans are interested in one body part in particular SKY HIGH We're one of the world's tallest family, everyone is over 6ft – people stare but it earns us over £7m a year Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ENTIRE family – ranging between 6ft 3in and 6ft 10 in height – have revealed how they are now making millions together as the 'tallest family' online. Marie Temara is known for her impressive frame, which sees her pull in $10m (£7.4m) a year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Marie Temara with her parents Christine and Michael, and her tall brothers, Troy and Shane Credit: Jam Press/@MarieTemara 6 The family ranges between 6ft 3in and 6ft 10 in height and make millions off their tall stature Credit: Jam Press/@MarieTemara But the influencer is not the only one in her family capitalising on the unique trait – nor is she the tallest. Marie's mum, 63-year-old Christine (6ft 5in), used to work as an emergency operator but now spends her days taking snaps of her UK men's size 13 trotters to sell online. Meanwhile, basketball brothers Troy, 27, and Shane, 29 – who are the tallest at 6ft 10in and 6ft 9in – are in competition with each other to see who can bank the most bucks. Right now, Troy is in the lead with $100,000 (£74k) annual earnings compared to Sean's $50,000 (£37k) a year. Dad, and former electrician, Michael, 65 (6ft 3in), quit his job after making $50,000 (£37k) sharing behind-the-scenes content with his family 'It's been my dream to live and work with my family and see them every day – I love it,' said Marie, who has three million Instagram followers, @marietemara. 'There's a bit of rivalry between my brothers, but because I'm a woman, I'm expected to make the most money – since short kings love a tall girl. 'They're just grateful to benefit from their height in any way they can. 'We definitely didn't have that much money growing up. 'It was pretty hard, but my parents did a really good job of giving us everything that we needed. I used to hate my height but now it's a niche that rakes me in £100k a year 'They just never had any money to buy anything for themselves and always put us first. 'That's why I love to see them doing so well now – and having so much fun with it!' Although Marie's content is on the saucier side, she makes family-friendly videos with her parents and brothers. The model was the inspiration for the family's success, having first signed up to OnlyFans four years ago after quitting her $100,000 a year accounting job. Christine and Michael were both making $35,000 (£26k) a year in their respective 9-to-5 jobs when they signed up to the site. She said: 'My parents both hated their jobs. 'They were overworked and underpaid. 'My mom was always stressed out with the long shift work hours, and my dad was sick of driving over two hours to work every day for minimum wage. 6 Marie is actually the shortest in her family with her mum Christine 6ft 5in and has size 13 feet Credit: Jam Press/@MarieTemara 6 Marie makes over £7 million a year by posting photos online Credit: Jam Press/@MarieTemara 'I'm really lucky that they have all been supportive since day one. 'At first, it was just me filming by myself, but I was living at home and my parents were always around, so they would pop into the background or help me set up shots. 'Eventually, I started asking them to join in little skits, and they were such naturals; it just made sense to keep going. 'I thought they'd say no or be embarrassed, but honestly, they were all up for it straight away. 'My mum was excited, my dad thought it was hilarious, and my brothers saw it as a fun challenge. 'One of the first videos we did together was a height comparison where we all stood in a line, tallest to shortest – which is still pretty tall 'We also did a skit where we pretended to struggle to fit into regular-sized furniture, and people went crazy for it.

'That's when we realised, 'Okay, this could be something big'. 'We're now known as the tallest family online.' Known as the 'tallest family online', Marie and the others usually make videos to show off their height – such as reaching for items, bumping their heads on door frames or trying to fit into tiny cars. They also do other pranks, dances and skits about everyday struggles that tall people face. Marie, from Florida, US, likes spending time with her parents so much that they've recently purchased two properties next door to each other. The model's mansion set her back $2m (£1.5m), while the neighbouring house where Christine and Mike live cost $700,000 (£520k). Marie added: 'Earning this much is something we never thought would happen. 'So we're very grateful and happy. 'It's all light-hearted and relatable, and our followers seem to love the family content too. 'Sometimes it doesn't feel real – but it's a great feeling to be able to provide for my family, retire them and financially set up my future for myself and generations to come.' 6 The family have a lot of interest in their oversized feet Credit: Jam Press/@MarieTemara
