I'm a single mum & I'll save £9k by transforming my garden into a modern dream – I've even built a shed & laid turf
IT'S no secret doing up your garden can cost an absolute fortune, especially if you fork out for the pros. But one single mum has showed how she took her garden from dark and dingy to a modern dream - and saved £9k in the process. 2 2 Holly Metcalf took to TikTok to show off the epic transformation, and fellow DIY fans have been left stunned by her hard work. Her decision to take on the mammoth task herself came after she was quoted a whopping £10k to have her garden renovated professionally. With a strict budget of £1k, the single mum managed to build a shed, and even spent time digging up the existing dead grass to lay fresh turf. "I didn't realise quite how back breaking this was going to be, but never mind, I think I've burned some extra calories while doing it," Holly said in one of the viral videos. As well as building then painting a shed, Holly also laid paving and painted the existing fences. Laying the turf turned out to be one of her toughest jobs yet though, since the delivery couldn't get close to her house and her neighbour had to help move it. But after the turf was finally laid, the busy mum explained she still had lots to do. Some of the uneven pavers needed to be moved so she can level out the ground before putting them back in place. The patio also still needed some work, as mum said she planned to de-weed it before pressure washing and finally painting it. Then, she revealed, it will be time for some new garden furniture to complete her huge project. I transformed my garden patio into summer haven for less than £100 with cheap B&M buys including gadget to keep bugs out After showing off her transformation so far, fellow DIY fans were amazed by how far it's come along. One said: "It will be so satisfying seeing what you've achieved, it's so great you're doing it yourself and like you said, good for your body too - win win!" "Garden renovation is a process, it will be fine and it'll look fab," a second encouraged the mum. "You're doing an amazing work," someone else chimed in. Meanwhile, others offered some advice to the hardworking mum when it came to laying turf. "Turf should be staggered like bricklaying, you're doing a great job," one said. And another agreed: "Best way to lay turf is to slightly overlap it and don't walk on it for at least four weeks." Gardening mistakes that could get you fined Gardening experts over at Toolstation have revealed the garden laws you need to be aware of not breaking. While some of these laws could land you with a fine of up to £20,000 in extreme cases, a friendly chat with your neighbours can usually resolve any issues. Tree removal and pruning: If you have a tree in your garden you want to get rid of you better think twice and do your research. The gardening experts reveal: 'If one neighbour wishes to remove or heavily prune a tree that the other neighbour values, disputes can arise over the impact on the view, shade, or privacy. " While it might cause a row, if it is in your property boundary it is ultimately your choice, unless it has a Tree Protection Order on it. 'But, some trees may be protected by a Tree Protection Order which makes it an offence to uproot, top or destroy them, the experts warn. The maximum fine for breaking this law is £20,000, so make sure you double check if it does have a TPO. You can find out by contacting your local council for a map that shows this information. Alternatively, you can ask to speak with your local tree officer. Property boundaries and fences: One of the main causes of neighbours falling out is through arguing over property boundaries and fencing. To avoid this situation, the gardening pros recommend checking the deeds of your property to determine the correct boundaries 'Most of the time, it's easy to determine who owns the fence as the fence posts will usually be on the owners side," they add. 'Additionally, the height of fences or hedges can cause disputes between neighbours if one party feels the height has exceeded the two metre guidance. "Hedges and fences should be no more than two metres high, and you could be asked by the council to take them down if a neighbour complains about the height. "Luckily, standard fence sizes are less than two metres tall so you shouldn't have a problem.' Garden structures and additions: A pergola is the perfect addition to a garden if you want somewhere to relax in the shade. But if it obstructs your neighbour's view or violates local building regulations it could cause a dispute, as can sheds and other garden structures. 'If you're not sure, have a chat with your neighbours to let them know what you're planning and, if there's an issue, get in touch with your local council who can give you more guidance," advise the gardening experts. Overhanging branches and plants: 'When branches, vines, or roots from one neighbour's tree or plant extend into the neighbouring property, it can lead to disagreements over potential damage to structures, blocked views, or the burden of maintenance," reveal the pros. However, it's important to note you can only trim overhanging branches up to the boundary of your property otherwise, it could be seen as trespassing. You can climb into the tree to carry out the work if needed, but only on your property and make sure to stay on your side of the fence if you don't have permission to enter your neighbours garden. Top gardening trends of 2025 Gardening experts at Barnsdale Gardens has shared the top gardening trends of 2025. Matrix planting It seems that a top planting trend for this year is going to be Matrix Planting. In essence, planting in groups or blocks to give an effect of being wild whilst actually being carefully managed. Selection of the plants is essential, to give year-round interest either with flowers, seed heads or frosted/snowy spent flower heads. Some recommend using plants that seed around, but this could make managing your matrix planting harder to keep under control. Chrysanthemum comeback I hope that the humble Chrysanthemum makes as much of a comeback this year as Dahlias have over recent years, because the simple single flowered types, such as 'Innocence' and 'Cottage Apricot' would be spectacular within a matrix scheme. The hardy varieties are so easy to grow in a sunny spot and give such a valuable burst of late summer and autumn colour that would lift any dull- looking border. Blended borders For some time now we have been promoting the growing of veg within ornamental borders and I think this could really take off this year. The choice of ornamental-looking varieties available in seed catalogues is phenomenal and, if managed correctly, visitors to your garden will not even realise that you have veg growing! Must-have tool My secret is out. I discovered the Hori Hori a couple of years ago and now it seems so is everyone else. It is such a well-made, adaptable tool that can be used as a trowel or weeding tool in the garden that and everyone I speak to who have used it absolutely would not now be without it. Enough said!

Major Hollywood star emerges as shock favourite for huge James Bond role amid speculation over who will be the next 007 after Amazon's takeover
A shock contender has emerged as the bookies' favourite to play the villain in the highly-anticipated next instalment of James Bond. Film-lovers have been patiently waiting to find out when the new 007 movie will be released since Daniel Craig finished his five film stint as the British spy with No Time To Die. The 2021 movie was the last spearheaded by Bond producer of 30 years Barbara Broccoli and her brother Michael G. Wilson after Amazon took over 'creative control' of the much-loved franchise. The company are said to be fast-tracking the new film, with Hollywood producers David Heyman and Amy Pascal hired to bring in the new era of Bond. Despite no official announcements being made, speculation about the potential cast for the next movie has been heating up in recent weeks. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the British fan favourites Aaron-Taylor Johnson and Henry Cavill have been linked to the role, while The White Lotus actor Theo James emerged as the latest bookies' favourite last month. Now, betting companies have released their odds for the next villain - with one unexpected household name topping the list. The favourite is none other than Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy, 49, who sits at the top of OLBG's odds at 9/2. The Irish actor - best known for playing Thomas Shelby - had previously been touted for the part of Bond but played down speculation, telling Deadline: 'I think I'm a bit old for that.' Also in the running for the part are American actor Paul Giamatti (11/2), The Boogeyman star David Dastmalchian (13/2), and unlikely contender Zendaya (7/1). Despite 'usually playing the good guy' in her previous roles, the female actress told Elle in 2023 that she's ready to enter her villainous era. 'I would love to play a villain of sorts,' the 28-year-old said. 'Tap into the evil, supervillain vibes. Whatever that manifests in, I don't think necessarily in a superhero sense, I just mean in like an emotional sense. 'I feel like I usually play the good guy, so I'd like to play the bad guy.' Cillian Murphy remains the strong favourite for the role, with Betting Expert Jake Ashton backing the Irish star too. 'The villain role in the Bond movies is just as iconic as Bond himself,' he said. 'With Cillian Murphy at the height of his powers and trusted by major directors, he's a natural favourite.' No Time To Die saw Oscar winner Rami Malek star as its lead antagonist Lyutsifer Safin, a terrorist chief and scientist driven by a desire to dismantle the criminal group SPECTRE. Before him A-lister Christoph Waltz starred as the villain in Spectre and Javier Bardem played Raoul Silva in Skyfall, an antagonist described as 'up there with the great' Bond baddies. After Daniel Craig's James Bond died at the end of No Time To Die, speculation has been rife as to how the next film will begin. As The Daily Mail reported, the plan is for the new Bond to be a 'straight up' reboot. There is reportedly set to be no explanation of how the special agent is still alive, no multiverse of Bonds and no attempt to go back to the 1960s for a vintage Bond. Barbara Broccoli's choice for Bond was thought to be Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who was once favourite for the role, but Heyman and Pascal are likely to want to choose their own 007. Theo James currently sits at favourite for the part at 3/1, ahead of Superman actor Cavill (3/1), Taylor-Johnson (7/2) and Jack Lowden (12/1) from Mary Queen of Scots. Theo has impressed while playing rogue, morally ambiguous characters somewhat similar to Bond in both The White Lotus and Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen. Theo had been one of the frontrunners for the role a couple of years ago but was bumped down odds lists after an interview in The Guardian in 2024. He told the publication: 'Everyone's interested in playing Bond because it's a big part of British cultural identity, but that probably wouldn't be me. 'I do think there are better people for that job. And honestly it would be terrifiyng... you're opening Pandora's Box.' Amazon bosses are currently said to be considering locations in which to set the much-anticipated new film, which experts predicted is likely to be released at the end of next year or in 2027. Due to a filming ban being imposed in Central London next year, new locations are reportedly being considered - with Liverpool a frontrunner, according to The Sun. An insider told the publication: 'This will no doubt irk Bond purists who already fear Amazon taking over the 007 franchise may lead to them making big changes. 'But Liverpool is a well-known alternative to London for film-makers. 'It has appeared in everything from The Batman to Captain America and Harry Potter movies, doubling up as international cities.' The source added that it doesn't necessarily mean the story will be set in Liverpool - though eagle-eyed Merseysiders will no doubt spot their city centre in the background.

Live EuroMillions and Thunderball draw for Friday, June 13 with huge £208m prize
The UK could be on the brink of a record-breaking lottery win tonight (June 13), with an estimated £208m up for grabs in the EuroMillions draw. After no one clinched the jackpot in Tuesday's (June 10) draw, the prize money has rolled over to tonight, setting the stage for one lucky person to make lottery history. Allwyn, the operator of the National Lottery, has confirmed that if someone wins tonight's jackpot, it would be the largest prize ever awarded in the UK. The EuroMillions jackpot is capped at €250m, equivalent to £208m, and will remain at this maximum level for five draws unless someone bags the top prize. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here . If the jackpot remains unclaimed until the draw scheduled for June 20, it triggers a 'Must Be Won' scenario. This means the fortune cascades down to the next tier of prize winners if no one matches all five numbers and the two Lucky Stars. Adding to the thrill, this Friday isn't just about the colossal jackpot but also the additional EuroMillions Millionaire Maker event, guaranteeing 13 UK players a cool £1m each. Andy Carter, advisor at National Lottery operator Allwyn, said: 'A win of this magnitude would create the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen - making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Harry Kane while also landing them at the number one spot on the National Lottery's biggest wins list. 'The EuroMillions jackpot is now capped, so any money that would have gone into increasing the jackpot now boosts prizes in the next winning prize tier, meaning that we could see multiple UK players banking huge prizes for matching just the five main numbers and one Lucky Star.' The EuroMillions draw takes place every Tuesday and Friday and a ticket costs £2.50. That includes automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker draw which creates new UK millionaires every week. If you entered the Thunderball, you stand to win up to £500,000. How many numbers do you need to win? If you have got two numbers or one number and two lucky stars or better then you are a winner.
