According to ITV, the average school uniform now costs over £92, and that’s just for the compulsory items. Throw in shoes, bags, and PE kits, and the final figure keeps on rising.

So, it’s no surprise that more families are turning to secondhand treasures from clothing banks, charity shops, and hand-me-downs to keep expenses low. While reusing and repurposing old uniforms is a win for wallets (and the environment), it often brings its own challenges – from peculiar odours and stubborn stains, to fabrics that have lost their lustre.

That’s where the cleaning experts at home and personal care brand Method step in, with clever ways to rejuvenate school gear and reset for September. Here’s how to keep uniforms (and your sanity) in check and selling like they’ve come straight off the shelves, this academic year.

Hand-me-downs and charity shop treasures are great for the purse strings, but they don’t always have the freshest scent. The silver lining? This expert-recommended detergent only sells for £7.75, which gets you 33 washes.

Simply toss them into the washing machine with a capful of your preferred laundry detergent, like Method’s concentrated laundry detergent in Peony Blush. This potent formula eliminates musty smells and leaves behind a long-lasting, fruity-fresh aroma, making clothes smell brand new. It’s also gentle on fabrics, helping to preserve the quality and colour of garments with each wash.

A 20-degree cycle is all you need—it’s kind to clothes and colours and better for the environment, too. With up to x33 washes per bottle, it’s a cost-effective way to make every pound go further and give those secondhand gems a much-needed Method makeover.

Shoppers have given this detergent plenty of 5-star reviews, with one buyer beaming, “Best laundry detergent. It smells amazing and leaves your clothes spotless.”

Another customer writes: “Wash very well, amazing perfume, small amount with maximum effectiveness.”

And a third chimes in: “I am only using this product at the moment. Each scent is really lovely, and clothes are clean and fresh after washing.”

Olivia Attwood’s alleged feud with a former friend has grown even more serious. After their altercation, the TV host and Loose Women actress appeared to have removed Ryan from her social media accounts.

According to a source who spoke to this week, “They aren’t talking to or even following each other online, and things have turned really sour between Olivia and Ryan.”

He has played such a significant role in her life, she says, “It’s very sad.” For those who are close to both of them, like Georgia [Harrison], it’s also very awkward.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, she said: “So grateful for my small circle that gets smaller the longer I am in this industry – the ones who don’t feed the press with false narratives. Andddd I do hate to be proven wrong especially when lots of people tried to warn you.

“But you live and learn,” I said. “I guessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Ryan later shared a post to update on his day, where he revealed he was working for fellow Loose Women star and former I’m A Celebrity…. Get Me Out of Here! campmate GK Barry.

Ryan wrote in a caption that he had taken a picture of his suitcases as he got ready for a busy day: “And just like that, he’s back on the road with some of the kindest and most beautiful creatives. Let’s go”.

There wasn’t any “toxicity, betrayal, or fallout between the pair,” according to sources close to Ryan’s position in the Mirror.

Tenerife tourists cheer man singing Oasis song in bar and then realise who it is

A mysterious man entered a bar in Tenerife to sing along to a well-known Oasis song, which was revealed to be a well-known celebrity.

Families are still rushing off on last-minute getaways before the children return to school, even though the summer is coming to an end. When a famous person staged an Oasis number for a mother during a recent trip to Tenerife, she was shocked to discover the surprise of her lifetime.

Last week, a guitarist was playing live music in a Costa Adeje bar, which Carolyn Leahy and her two children visited. Before the musician beckoned a punter to join him on stage for a rendition of Oasis’ hit song, Wonderwall, nothing appeared out of the ordinary.

Carly, 42, from Blackpool recognized the bloke as a friend and fellow boxer, Ricky Hatton, when he entered his show.

Drinkers were disappointed, though, as it turns out that the 46-year-old Ricky didn’t actually know the lyrics to the adored anthem.

Ricky can be seen butchering the famous line, “By now, you should have somehow realised what you’ve got to do,” in video that Carly posted online. “

Instead, he mumbled, “Sometimes, you should have [inaudible] what you’ve got to do. “

Instead of repeating, “And all the roads we have to walk are winding,” he then belted out, “And all the roads that lead us there are winding and all the lights that lead us there are blinding.”

Carly was astonished to discover that the former world boxing champion hadn’t mastered the lyrics, particularly given his reported friendship with Liam and Noel Gallagher. She even suggested they ought to provide him with the words to better equip him for future musical ventures.

She remarked, “He made an effort to hit those notes, but he definitely screwed up the words.” I recall Oasis going to his fights back in the day, so I was surprised he didn’t know them by heart.

Noel should exchange a word and forward the lyrics. “

Carly, who had a crush on the boxing legend, praised his patience and kindness toward pubgoers who wanted to meet him after his performance.

She continued, “After that, he was very patient and kind to everyone who approached him. That was quite nice. The children were delighted to see him. Although some people have really gotten him, he was just enjoying himself on vacation. “

Additionally, Carly revealed that Ricky made time for a photo session with admirers after his boxing performance, even though she did not choose to do so in order to avoid disturbing him. The boxer is scheduled to return to the ring in December.

Despite the fact that Ricky’s performance with the Gallagher siblings fell short of the standards of his reunion tour, viewers quickly praised him as a “legend” and applauded his willingness to have “up for a laugh.”

The man is a legend, according to one person. “

Another chimed in, “As long as he’s content! “.
