People left horrified as mum shares eye-watering amount she spent at Disneyland
A mother has shocked the internet by revealing how much money she spent on a trip to Disneyland. In a video posted on TikTok, Ashley Bradford (@ashleyb_ox), shares exactly what she bought with €270/£229 at Disneyland Paris. The mother first spent money on a Little Mermaid -themed bubble wand, which she explained cost €30/£25.64. Next, she spent €19/£16.24 on face painting for her daughter before buying two Disney-themed macaroons for €5/£4.27. One of the pricier items on her spending list were two burger meals and a kids meal for €49.50/£42.30. She then buys three lollies for €12/£10.26, with a Lilo & Stitch and Minnie Mouse theme, before getting another three lollies for the same price. The family purchased lots of sweet treats throughout the day, including a sweet stick €6.50/£5.56, a Mickey Mouse cookie for €3.50/£2.99, popcorn for €6.50/£5.56, candyfloss for €6/£5.13, a Mickey Mouse donut for €6.50/£5.56 and two crepes for €15/£12.82. When it comes to savoury food, Ashley and family also purchased three hot dogs, one fries, chicken nuggets and three drinks for €60/£51.28, on top of their earlier burger meals. The last buys on the family's spending list were an Ariel-themed key ring for €8.50/£7.26 and a light-up Mickey Mouse toy for €25/£21.37. But while Ashley and her family might have enjoyed their trip to Disneyland, people were pretty horrified by their high spending costs. 'Francescondon79' says: 'Why would anyone throw away their money like that'. 'Heather Simms' adds: 'The bubble wand at 30 euros had me almost choking on my own down Disney.' Another person says: 'I don't understand, this is a place for kids and they sell the things so expensive!' However, many TikTokers weren't surprised by how much the family had spent. One person says: 'I just got back from there. Spent £2,100 spending money in five days there, I have five kids. Soon adds up.' And 'Tiffany Ashworth' says: 'Is it just me that doesn't think this place is expensive?' But Ashley replied to the comment saying: 'If you think though park tickets on top of that at €200/£170 plus a day for a small family. If you've a few kids, it soon would add up.' It comes as a father who took his family of five on a day-trip to Orlando's Walt Disney World resort revealed the unexpectedly high cost of their outing. The man, from Florida, US, took to social media to break down the family's outgoings throughout the day, which later sparked a heated debate among viewers about the importance of budgeting. In a video, reposted by @financedystop on X, the father documented the price of the family's tickets, parking, meals and snacks, as well as the staggering cost of items in souvenir shops. Before the family even entered the park, the father revealed he forked out $30/£22 for all-day parking.

Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka bury the hatchet with TikTok dance at Wimbledon
Any lingering speculation about animosity between tennis stars Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka has been decisively put to rest, as the pair delighted fans by dancing together at Wimbledon and sharing the moment across social media. The two, who recently contested the French Open final, were seen showcasing their moves on the hallowed Centre Court grass. Sabalenka posted a clip on Instagram, captioning it: " TikTok dances always had a way of bringing people together," as they grooved to C+C Music Factory's 1990 hit "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)." Gauff, a frequent TikTok user, also shared a video of them outside the All England Club's main stadium, lip-syncing to a track. She wrote: "OK, guys, we're back. Did you miss us? 'Cause we missed you." She also added a clear message to fans, stating: "the olive branch was extended and accepted! we're good so you guys should be too." The No. 1-ranked Sabalenka and the No. 2-ranked Gauff held a practice session together at Centre Court ahead of the year's third Grand Slam tournament, which begins on Monday. Three weeks ago, Gauff beat Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 in the championship match at the last major, the French Open. Afterward, Sabalenka drew criticism from some for saying Gauff 'won the match not because she played incredible; just because I made all of those mistakes from ... easy balls'. In a press conference, Gauff said she did not think Sabalenka's comments were fair. 'The way Aryna was playing the last few weeks, she was the favourite to win. So I think she was the best person that I could have played in the final,' she said. 'Her being No. 1 in the world was the best person to play, so I think I got the hardest matchup just if you go off stats alone.' Later, Sabalenka called her comments 'unprofessional' and said she had written to Gauff to apologise. 'I absolutely regret what I said back then. We all make mistakes. I'm just a human being who's still learning in life,' she said. 'I think we all have those days when we lose control. The difference with me is the world is watching.' Sabalenka, a 27-year-old from Belarus, is a three-time Grand Slam champion and was the runner-up both times Gauff, a 21-year-old American, won a major trophy, including at the 2023 U.S. Open. At Wimbledon this year, they only could face each other in the 12 July final.

‘The people of Armagh have been paying my rent this last year': Viral singer opens up on beating cancer and becoming music legend in GAA scene
They say a lot can happen in a year, and south Armagh man Paul Loughran is the perfect testament to that. From being diagnosed with testicular cancer, to writing his county's most prolific GAA anthem, and then travelling the world based on his band's viral sensations — Paul is the ideal example of optimism, hard work and resilience. He makes up one-third of local folk group Plenty in the Tank, whose song 'G Stands For Geezer' became the theme tune for Armagh GAA's run to only their second All-Ireland win in 2024. Named aptly after the manager of the senior men's Gaelic football team, Kieran McGeeney — aka 'Geezer' — the song hit number 20 in the official Irish Singles Chart last August following the final. The song now has well over two million streams on the music platform Spotify, and it's picking up even more traction, now that Armagh are in the quarter-finals of the championship this weekend. Paul wrote the song, which he says has completely changed his life, but just a few months previous, he had received another life-changing announcement. 'I was diagnosed with stage two bilateral testicular cancer in early November 2023, which means I had cancer on both sides, and I had surgeries at the end of November and then that January (2024),' the 29-year-old explained. 'I then had a full month of chemo and got the all-clear in March. I think I left the cancer centre on March 14th or 15th, and then I went back to gigging again on St Paddy's Day, just a few days later. 'I had a sort of serious turnaround. Like, especially coming out of that [cancer treatment], I had no money whatsoever. 'I spent all my savings on just being alive for that couple of months, basically, and paying my bills and stuff.' What the Belleeks clubman didn't then realise, was that just a short while later, his fellow Armagh GAA fans would be helping sort out his bills. 'G Stands For Geezer' was created just a few weeks before Armagh went up against Galway in the All-Ireland final last July, with Paul dedicating one day in his bedroom to writing it and to say it took off instantly would be an understatement. 'I posted it on TikTok on a Wednesday afternoon and a couple of hours later it had a quarter of a million views,' he added. 'It was one of the first TikTok videos I ever posted and the reaction was absolutely mental.' Paul is even more grateful to the Armagh team for actually winning the Sam Maguire after it all, as the entire whirlwind has opened up more opportunities than ever before for Plenty In The Tank. 'We got to go to New York there with the team for a Q&A thing, we got to play in Manhattan, which was unbelievable, and then we got to go out to Abu Dhabi and Dubai there for Paddy's week,' said Paul. 'So we've got to get out into the world and do gigs, in places we'd obviously never have been gigging in before, and better still, we're still getting gigs from it; the amount of weddings we've been booked for just for people around Armagh — we're flat out.' The song has been getting around 10,000 streams a day since its release last summer, and that's on average, levelled out. It has been picking up again since the championship started this year, and as Armagh continue to get closer to an elusive second consecutive Sam Maguire trophy, Paul said the views and listens are increasingly climbing. He continued: 'I remember we were celebrating with the boys [Armagh team] over in New York, and they were all like: 'this is mental, and thank you for writing that song' or whatever. 'And I was saying, 'no, thank you for winning!' 'Because it wouldn't have been anywhere near as big as it was if we just got beaten in the final].' Reflecting on the last 12 months — beating cancer, extensive success and having their band be forever etched in GAA history - Paul noted that 'it was honestly the best year of my life'. He has also been able to give back to those who helped him, with Plenty In The Tank raising £2,000 for two charities — Friends of the Cancer Centre and Musicians NI. 'And now, I've been running for six weeks. I've signed up for the Belfast Half Marathon to try and raise a bit more money for Friends of the Cancer Centre. So, I'm trying my best to give back to them,' he said. 'The people of Armagh are absolute legends. I'm sorry to offend, but they're the absolute best fan base in the world, out of any sport, in any country. 'Thanks an absolute million to anybody that ever streamed or clicked on any videos that had 'G Stands For Geezer' on it — because you are still paying my rent.'
