Only one Yimbly customer has so far reviewed the Outsunny bench, awarding it top marks. They said: “This looks really good at the top of my garden. Great quality and price.”

Over on the Robert Dyas website, shoppers have been sharing their thoughts on the same bench. One satisfied customer remarked: “Perfect and exactly what we needed to sit on our veranda/deck. Ideal to store our outdoor cushions in too.”

A different buyer gave the Outsunny Storage Bench a four-star rating, stating: “Good-looking, lovely bench… Pretty, lightweight and very useful.”

However, they went on to note a few negatives: “Definitely needed a couple of people to help put it together, as it was a bit tricky. The reason for only four stars is that the seat panel has now warped and the joints are coming apart. Also the wrong amount of wooden plugs and a bent hinge.”

She told the court her ex-footballer boyfriend Robbie Talbot was the one driving the car when it was caught speeding twice. And now, in a new post shared on social media, Helen admitted it was a “pain in the a***” being without a car as she couldn’t run errands due to living in the ‘ middle of nowhere’.

Speaking to fans on her Stories, she said her ADHD made her mix up paperwork to reapply for a licence.

“I literally can’t tell you what a pain in the a*** not having]my driving licence] because I live in the middle of nowhere, and of course I haven’t been driving”, she said.

“It’s just been so bloody annoying, for example we are out of loo roll now and I can’t pop out to the shops to get loo roll so my friend has to bring me loo roll”.

During her rant to fans, she revealed she and ex Scott, with whom she shares Matilda, Delilah and Charlie, were ‘ co-parenting in the same house ‘ after their split in 2022.

“So it’s Matilda’s birthday and Delilah’s birthday, they had the same due date, and there is seven days between their birthdays and that’s like hectic”, she said.

“So Scott is off at football but we are back co-parenting in the same house, which we don’t usually do. But it actually went OK, so obviously we have to do that because it’s the kids birthdays”.

Meanwhile, Helen has been navigating the single life after reportedly splitting from Robbie a year after the pair went public with their romance.

The mum-of-three had hinted at wanting a child with the former footballer, but has since had a “change of heart”, according to reports last month.

Helen, 34, was living with him in her stunning Bolton mansion, but in April, the former Coronation Street actress revealed he had moved out because it was not helpful to her children, who ‘ missed ‘ their dad, Scott.

Vinicius Stars As Real Madrid Ease Into Club World Cup Last 16

Vinicius Junior scored one goal and made another with a touch of class as Real Madrid sealed their place in the last 16 of the Club World Cup with a 3-0 win over Salzburg on Thursday.

The Brazil star opened the scoring after a superb defence-splitting pass by Jude Bellingham on 40 minutes and then set up Federico Valverde for the all-important second goal in first-half stoppage time.

Gonzalo Garcia wrapped up the win late on with his second goal of the tournament, and the result means Xabi Alonso’s team end the first round of FIFA’s new tournament unbeaten.

They go through to the knockout stage as Group H winners on seven points, setting up a last-16 tie against Juventus in Miami on Tuesday.

“Vini had a great game. It’s not just his goal and his assist that will stay with me, but also the sacrifices he made for the team and the work he did defensively,” said Alonso after Vinicius scored a first club goal in nine appearances since mid-April.

Salzburg go out as Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia progress in second place behind Real after defeating already eliminated Pachuca of Mexico 2-0 in Nashville.

They play Manchester City in the last 16.

Madrid are adjusting in the United States to life under new coach Alonso and were again without top scorer Kylian Mbappe, with the Frenchman thus far not having played at the Club World Cup as he recovers from illness.

“We were really stable and really mature in the first half. We controlled the game well and didn’t rush things,” Alonso added.

“There is still a lot to improve, but we are moving in the right direction.”

There was still plenty of star appeal even without Mbappe for the 64,811 fans who filled Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia almost to capacity — they reserved their loudest cheers for Bellingham and spirits were not dampened by wet, fresh conditions as the blistering heatwave of recent days suddenly lifted.

Alonso opted, as during his time in charge of Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, for a back three with Aurelien Tchouameni in between Antonio Rudiger and Dean Huijsen. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Fran Garcia played as wing-backs.

Real won 5-1 when the teams met in the Champions League in January with Vinicius scoring twice, and the Brazilian was again heavily involved in putting the Austrian team to the sword here.

He was denied by goalkeeper Christian Zawieschitzky when clean through on 20 minutes, but made up for that by getting the breakthrough as the interval approached.

The goal owed much to a fantastic pass by Bellingham which found Vinicius in between the two Salzburg centre-backs. He held off two chasing defenders and scored with an early left-foot shot low into the corner.

It was a 22nd goal of the season in all competitions and one that delighted those backing Real in the crowd.

Petar Ratkov had a chance for Salzburg after Arda Guler was dispossessed just outside his own area, but Real scored again to make it 2-0 almost on the half-time whistle.

When a rather aimless pass forward by Guler was deflected by Salzburg’s Mamady Diambou, Vinicius pounced on the loose ball and continued into the area before producing a clever back-heel to set up Valverde for the goal.

Salzburg now needed a favour from Al Hilal to stay in the competition although they did continue to make a fight of it and had chances to reduce the deficit in the second half.

Nevertheless they were picked off on the counter as Madrid got their third with six minutes of the 90 remaining.

A ball forward by Alexander-Arnold should have been cut out by Joane Gadou but the young defender’s touch was intercepted by Gonzalo Garcia and the young forward ran through before clipping a shot beyond the goalkeeper.
