Just a couple of months ago, Rae, a mum-of-two from the UK, was working in a care home, where she had been employed for five years.
But now, she is self-employed and is attempting to earn a living through social media.
In one of her recent clips, she filmed herself preparing her partner's lunch, as she said: 'I charge my partner £10 a day to make his lunch for work.'
Following this, she added: 'If he's gonna go and spend £10 at McDonald's, Greggs, wherever it may be, and put money in a stranger's pocket, why not put money in my pocket instead?'
Rae recognised that not everyone will agree, but she isn't bothered, as she continued: 'It does seem to be a bit of a controversial topic, but it makes sense to me.
'Let's be honest, nothing in life comes free anymore, not even a paper bag - so if you're happy to go and pay the woman in Greggs for your lunch, then pay the woman that you love for your lunch, that way everyone's happy.'
Not only this, but she also set the record straight and confirmed: 'He's fed and happy, and I'm paid and happy.'
For Rae's partner's most recent lunch, she made him a peri peri chicken salad, which she served alongside cheesy coleslaw and two boiled eggs.
She also gave her 'fuss pot' partner a cereal bar, a chocolate bar and two cans of Tango.
Later in the clip, Rae confirmed that her man 'approved' of his packed lunch.
I'm a 'bad mum' but people are reporting me to welfare for feeding my kids junk - they mostly get fed at school anyway
Not only was he impressed, but he even described the tasty meal as 'absolutely beautiful.'
Big divide
But Rae's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @raeroberts.x, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 229,800 views in just two days.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 7,444 likes, 65 comments and 474 saves.
Social media users were left totally divided by Rae's actions - while some thought it was a fabulous idea to make an extra income off of her partner, others thought it was 'cheeky' and 'backwards.'
Charging him?! He should kick you out
TikTok user
One user shared: 'Great idea.'
A second chimed in: 'Love this.'
Whilst someone else penned: 'From today onwards I'll be charging.'
But at the same time, not everyone was as complimentary, as one person said: 'But if you love your man, you wouldn't charge him £10.'
Another added: 'Backwards mentality.'

To this, Rae wrote back and claimed: 'Backwards mentality is men expecting everything done for them when they're grown.'
A third commented: 'Charging him?! He should kick you out.'
Eager to clap back and prove the hater wrong, the savvy mum responded: 'Kick me out of a house that's equally both of ours, yeahhhh.'
Meanwhile, another gasped: 'I think that's a bit cheeky, £10 a day, a joke.'

We ditched the UK for Cyprus & now get year-long sun, bills are so cheap, we work half as much & have even bought a home
EXPAT ESCAPE We ditched the UK for Cyprus & now get year-long sun, bills are so cheap, we work half as much & have even bought a home A MUM has revealed why she packed up her life in the UK for sunny Cyprus. The mum-of-two took to social media to share how they moved to the country after Brexit. Advertisement 3 The Manns family ditched the UK for sunny Cyprus Credit: tiktok/@themannsofficial 3 The pair say life is much easier now and it's cheap too Credit: tiktok/@themannsofficial 3 The couple spend their time off exploring the island and don't plan to leave Credit: Getty In one clip, shared on The Mann's TikTok account, she and her partner said their plan A was to stay in England. Describing her life pre-Cyprus, she said it was a comfortable life and they could go on one to two holidays a year. But she said the limited hot weather and 'overworked' culture was something they wanted to ditch. They then decided they wanted more and headed to the sunny island to live out their dream. Advertisement Now, they get hot weather all year round and no longer need to go on holiday abroad as there's so much to do on the island. She said they also had a better quality of life out there which was more slow-paced. The mum was also happy to say that her two children, who are in primary school, are now going to a local Greek school and have become bilingual. The mum revealed that they rent out properties in the UK to make income and she also works as a wedding planner in Cyprus. Advertisement She revealed you need to earn £36,000 a year to live in Cyprus and you can work in the country if you are self-employed. The family have gone on to buy a house there to make it their forever home, and she says bills are super cheap too. All the free activities Cyprus has to offer For electricity, they spend around £87 a month, £17 on water, £13 on gas and £100 on council tax in a single year. Before buying their own property, she said rent for a two-bed villa with a pool was around £1,300 a month. Advertisement The mum said that their 'plan B' for life has been going very well for them, and they don't see themselves heading back to the UK anytime soon. She said: "It's such a massive decision to leave your 'normal', weighing up all the options, writing down lists of pros and cons (we actually did this). "But we didn't want to live with any regrets and we always knew that the UK isn't going anywhere. If it didn't work out, at least we tried! Luckily it has!" The clip was posted to their TikTok account @themannsofficial and went viral with over 138k views and 3,200 likes. Advertisement Moving house hacks 1. Declutter Before You Pack Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load. 2. Create an Inventory Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move. 3. Use Quality Packing Materials Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move. 4. Label Everything Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized. 5. Pack a 'First Day' Box Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day. 6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place. 7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury. 8. Colour-Code Your Boxes Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home. People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments. One person wrote: "This is so helpful! The price on council tax, water and gas, pennies compared to the UK!" Another commented: "I used to work in Rhodes and would love to go back! Since Brexit, I thought it would not be possible. This gives me hope, so thank you!" "Currently in the process of Plan B! Writing this from Cyprus on a house hunt," penned a third. Advertisement Meanwhile a fourth said: " ,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "

Couple's Victorian home renovation is nearly perfect but one detail 'ruins' it
A couple who decided to transform their semi-detached Victorian property have been praised for their "beautiful" renovation - but some social media users can't get past one "offensive" detail A couple nearing the end of their meticulous restoration of a 1901 semi-detached Victorian home have been lauded for their "beautiful" decor choices. However, a small aspect of their renovation has drawn criticism for marring the otherwise sympathetic and traditional aesthetic. Tackling a home renovation is no mean feat; it's often expensive, disruptive, and laborious. Yet, once the dust settles, the fruits of such labour are usually worth it, providing a stunning, safe haven that perfectly suits the owner's tastes. While some proud homeowners take to social media to share their home refurbishment, others prefer to watch these transformations from afar, in the comfort of a dust-free environment. The pair behind @a. have shared their home renovation journey on TikTok, attracting a number of views thanks to their step-by-step process. They've managed to retain original features like the classic Minton floor tiles in the entrance hall, while also updating the property to be more energy-efficient, all without sacrificing its inherent period charm. In a recent post on the video-sharing platform, they offered followers an updated house tour, revealing six completed rooms with just two left to finish. The caption of the video read: "Updated house tour! 6 rooms completed; 2 to go", followed by a rundown of the specific paint colours and brands they've chosen for each room. The calming palette of blues and neutrals in the ground floor space generates an ambience that feels fresh, crisp and inviting. Across the dwelling, there are numerous nods to the home's Victorian roots through ornate fireplaces and period wall panelling, expertly merged with contemporary touches like bold statement artwork and signage. Yet, one particular element has sparked quite the debate amongst interior design fans on TikTok. Positioned at the far end of the kitchen sits a handy downstairs loo, distinguished by a bold black and white plaque declaring 'the shi**er'. In the comments beneath the clip, one observer penned: "Everything was absolutely perfect except the toilet door sign". The original content creators and property owners hit back with: "Not everything is to everyone's taste! We love it". Another remark stated: "Your house is stunning I don't like that loo sign tho". However, another TikTok user seemed baffled by the fierce backlash over the signage. They commented: "People so pressed over a toilet sign". Other social media viewers found the cheeky lavatory label rather entertaining. One fan remarked: "Well done, it's beautiful, still laughing at the sign above the toilet door downstairs". Praise for the property extended well beyond the divisive door decoration. One TikTok user gushed: "Beautiful home". Fellow users voiced their appreciation, with remarks including: "Beautiful and very tasteful" and: "What a fabulous transformation well done!" Another user heaped on the accolades, exclaiming: "Absolutely beautiful! A renovation done sympathetically and well! Best I've seen!"

Chip shop's battered Aldi caterpillar cake has people 'horrified yet intrigued'
Fans of Aldi's Cuthbert the Caterpillar cake are desperate to try a battered version, but not everyone's convinved A fish and chip shop has divided the internet after deep frying a chocolate cake. Drawing inspiration from Scotland's deep-fried Mars Bars, a chippy in Telford deep-fried a Cuthbert the Caterpillar cake from Aldi, and social media users were astounded by the results. The Silver Fish regularly experiments with popular treats and viral snacks, creating everything from battered cheesecake to battered spaghetti on toast. While the unusual creations often go viral on TikTok, one recent experiment has captured more attention than most. The chippy's video of the battered Cuthbert the Caterpillar cake has received over one million views and hundreds of comments from viewers who couldn't believe their eyes. Testing the cake, an employee said: "Wow, this looks unreal." He was just as impressed after tasting the battered cake. "This is insanity. It's so good," he praised, ultimately rating the cake 12/10. While many viewers said they were desperate to taste the cake themselves, not everyone was so impressed by the idea. One fan wrote: "Couple slices of that, add a scoop of ice cream onto it, I'd happily pay like £7.50 for that." A second said: "That's disgusting but why do I want it so much." A third viewer joked: "My arteries clogged with just a yet I want a slice so bad." Another response read: "I mean, I wanna be outraged and sickened by this, but damn, I'm hungry now!" A fan added: "This looks UNREAL," and someone agreed: "That looks amazing!" More praise came from a commenter who said: "Need." A foodie agreed: "Looks delightful." On the other hand, a different response read: "Just because you can doesn't mean you should." A commenter claimed: "Nothing is safe from the chip shops." Someone else asked: "Am I the only one devastated that Cuthbert got frazzled to death?" Another viewer joked: " Scotland called, they want their national dish back." A foodie added: "Sacrilege... not even a Colin... where's my pearls, they need clutching." A similar response said: "Justice for Colin." Thankfully, Colin fans didn't have long to wait. In a follow-up video, the Silver Fish battered one of Marks and Spencer's Colin the Caterpillar cakes, prompting another debate. The post said: "You asked, we delivered," and it has amassed over 80,000 views. When it was time for "the moment of truth", the cake passed the taste test. The reviewer said: "This is so good. This is nice and warm. This is exceptional. I'm going to give it a 12.1 out of ten." Once more, viewers' responses were divided. One unimpressed commenter said: "I feel like I've witnessed a crime against humanity." However, someone else said: "Years on this earth and i have never wanted anything more than I want this." While this isn't the first time Colin the Caterpillar has received the chippy treatment, based on the response from excited fans, more adventurous foodies will likely give it a try.
