Debenhams £700 rattan sofa set discounted in half price sale
Debenhams customers can snag a bargain garden sofa set, ideal for making the most of the summer sunshine in style. Getting a deal just as the temperatures rise, and shoppers will likely be thinking about making a big garden purchase, is a rare opportunity.
The Alivio 5-Seater Rattan Corner Sofa Set, usually sold for £699.99, is currently available at half price. For a limited time, while stocks last, this corner set, complete with a coffee table, can be snapped up for just £349.99.
Described by Debenhams as the "perfect blend of style and comfort" for sprucing up an outdoor area, it's made from weather-resistant rattan. It also comes with "plush removable cushions" that are simple to remove and keep clean.
This "luxurious and practical" set boasts space for five people on its 180cm sofa, optimising every bit of compact spaces. Its modular design allows for flexible arrangement to best suit your needs.
The easy-to-clean glass-topped coffee table provides a safe spot for all your summer food and drinks. The entire set features a dark grey frame that contrasts with the lighter cushions, making it a versatile addition to any garden aesthetic, reports the Mirror.

Customers who bought this set were very pleased with it. One shopper commented: "This was easy to put together, looks fab in my new garden."
Another added: "Delighted with this. As I don't have a large garden, it is just a nice size."
A third wrote: "Lovely comfortable garden seating. My husband assembled it with no problems. [It] looks great, has nice quality and was a great value price."
Yet, not every customer was satisfied, as one said: "Took around an hour or so to put together - [definitely] needs 2 people. It's not very big and would not sit five comfortably.
"The cushions are really poor quality. The seat ones have already started to go flat after only two or three uses, and the back ones are so thin that you feel the back of the seat through them, and it's uncomfortable. I bought it in the sale. I would not have been happy had I paid full price."

Another unhappy shopper cautioned: "Don't be fooled by the photos! This is small and extremely uncomfortable and unable to accommodate more than three people with any room left over!"

One of the best available is the Elements 7-Seater Corner and Dining Set. Previously priced at £499, the set currently has a £100 markdown, making it an enticing purchase at £399.

Plumber who had just £9 in bank scooped £11m lottery win
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A plumber's life was turned on its head when he bagged a staggering $22million (around £11m) lottery win. In 2017, Joshua Winslet, then just 22 and with a mere $19 (£9) left in his bank account, decided to try his luck on Australia's $100m (£47.9m) Powerball draw. To his absolute astonishment, he found himself the sole recipient of a $22m jackpot just hours later. However, this windfall led to heartbreak, and ultimately tragedy for the troubled young man. Joshua had been born with two disfiguring conditions that made his childhood unbearable. Joshua, a resident of New Zealand's South Island, was born with both Duane syndrome and Goldenhar syndrome. Duane syndrome is an eye disorder that limits the ability to move one or both eyes, while Goldenhar syndrome is a rare condition resulting from underdeveloped bones and muscles in the face, reports the Mirror. These two congenital abnormalities made Joshua a target for bullies throughout his school years. As a child, he underwent plastic surgery to correct some of the signs of his condition, but the procedures were not entirely successful. After a challenging time at school, Joshua briefly attended Adelaide University Senior College in South Australia before deciding to drop out and pursue a plumbing apprenticeship instead. At the age of 20, he decided to relocate to New Zealand, believing he might find it easier to secure work there. After struggling in New Zealand as a plumber and teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, his fortunes were drastically altered by a fortuitous lottery win, netting him a stunning $22 million. The Daily Mail's conversation with two ex-schoolmates of Joshua revealed their disbelief when he broke the news of his colossal lottery fortune. One admitted: "He sent a screenshot of his lotto app and we still almost didn't believe him. It was something that doesn't happen to someone like Josh, you know? Especially $22million." Reflecting on Joshua's past hardships and deserved luck, another friend noted: "Out of everyone from our school, and after all the bullying he copped, he deserved it more than anyone." Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages Initially, Joshua invested shrewdly, snapping up real estate investments across South Australia and New Zealand, while leaving the remaining windfall in a trust overseen by his parents. Unfortunately, the sudden wealth became overwhelming, and his New Port mansion in Adelaide gained notoriety as a raucous party hub rife with alcohol and drugs. A framed memento of his winning lottery ticket adorned one wall of the notorious residence. Tragedy struck in 2020 when the house became the target of a police raid, leading to the discovery of an alarming mess featuring over 27 grams of ecstasy, two grams of cocaine, and an unlawful firearm amid a sea of empty beer containers. Joshua owned up to drug peddling and illegal firearm possession in South Australia's District Court. Following his conviction in August 2022, he was allocated a three-year and nine-month custodial term, with parole eligibility surfacing after 18 months. Judge Heath Barklay noted during the sentencing: "Because of the money that you had won, there was no motivation on your part to work or do anything other than enjoy yourself." However, Joshua's time behind bars was promptly suspended due to good behaviour, which led him right back to his hard-partying lifestyle. His friends were alarmed at his drug consumption, with one issuing a stark warning: "You need to stop this or you're going to die." Tragically, their worst predictions materialised. By December 2022, barely months after his sentencing, Joshua was found dead in his home. His premature demise was attributed to severe health complications triggered by his rampant substance abuse.

MARTEL MAXWELL: How Frasers Dundee opening showed me High Street beats online
'Here we go again', my middle son side-eyed his brothers. 'Mum's off on one.' I'd spotted yet another gaping hole in his trainers. They've heard it all before. 'What do you do with your shoes?' 'Why are you so hallikit?' (possibly a Dundonian term, essentially the opposite of light and nimble on your feet, I think) 'Money doesn't grow on trees… In my day, shoes were built to last.' They've zoned out by 'hallikit'. Worse, Chester needed a passable pair of trainers (the sole had also come away and was flapping around) for later that day for a sports fixture. Even Amazon Prime wouldn't cut it. Then it struck me. Talk of the new sports shop in town – along with a mecca of outlets and stores newly opened in Dundee's Overgate. And – the cherry on top of the bucking-the-high-street-decline-trend cherry? Frasers. Long after Debenhams shut its doors in 2021 as part of the company's liquidation – leaving floors of sad, empty retail space – an actual department store with shiny cosmetic counters and rows of shoes was in place. We've become so used to there not being credible options on the high street for what we need, our first thought is often 'how fast can it be delivered?' But perhaps there was a chance of new trainers and goalie gloves which had also come away at the seams at the newly-opened Sports Direct. I'd heard it had everything – even a small football pitch. True, there already were shoe shops, but for kids the choice can be limited and I refuse to pay a fortune for trainers they'll grow out of or go through in months. And so, the reasonably priced Nikes they like with no laces for sheer laziness – the Flex Runner, normally £28 to £35 and a third of the price of many alternatives – might be available. And joy, they were. That's one mum's well-trodden story – the need to panic buy on any given day. Or it might be the desire to see and feel the fabric of an outfit for a special occasion; to speak to staff for reassurance on a perfume selection for your wife's birthday: the thrill of browsing colours and inhaling scents for a present for a friend. The reasons that make people happy to shop are many. And shop we must, for the Overgate is a paradise in comparison to what we've had these past few years, that we must support and keep thriving. In an ideal world, the Wellgate and every high street store would be flying simultaneously but every dog has its day and the Overgate is having a second wind. Frasers, with its 60,000 sq ft store space spanning three floors and creating 80 jobs, has far more than I imagined. In the Beauty Hall, Charlotte Tilbury, Mac and Trinny London (marking its Frasers debut) join iconic mainstays like Dior and Estée Lauder. Then in clothing there's Boss, Barbour, CP Company, Coach, Ugg and so much more. Elsewhere in the centre, the lure of being the place to be has spread – with the likes of Mango and Clarks making welcome returns in their own units. It feels unreal to have not only this choice, but the high end nature of it – for the fixtures, fittings and finishes are tremendous. Not only is the Overgate in the same ranks as many a bigger city's offering, when compared to the likes of the enormous and famous Metro Centre near Newcastle, it's less tired; more shiny and new. The most astonishing thing is that Dundee seems to be the only place in the UK going against the tide of city centre retail shrinkage in such a big way. On any given week, I could be in Carlisle, Stoke, Wolverhampton or Wales. I see seeds of hope in town centres but Covid accelerated the decimation of many a high street. Now, huge retail units – not least Debenhams – lie empty. Dundee has lucked out from conditions leading to a perfect storm – a beautiful storm of fortitude. For in stepped Mike Ashley, owner of Frasers – whose deal to buy the centre for £30million makes financial sense because he owns half the tenants – from Frasers to Jack Wills and Sports Direct. So not only does he own the building, he doesn't have to pay rent for his own brands. And he inherits sitting tenants like Five Guys, Toy Town and Lush, bringing in millions a year in rent. It makes sense for him – and it's brilliant for us. Down with the phones that promise fast delivery and choice. Nothing is faster than walking through a door and choosing. Now we can and Dundee is all the better for it.
