In the clip, the pair got to work deep cleaning a rundown caravan, scrubbing, vacuuming, and dusting every nook and cranny.
Despite the huge challenge, the pair admitted they actually don't have any experience, but wanted to give it a go anyway.
"Decided to quit our nursing jobs and flip caravans instead.
"No experience, just two girls with the mentality of 'no risk, no reward'," the text over the viral video said.
The friends started their first mammoth cleaning task by cleaning the fabric of the built-in sofas.
The grey upholstery was clearly dirty, but it wasn't until they emptied the cleaner it was clear just how gross the sofas really were.
After washing away the dirty brown liquid, the next job was to clean the bathroom.
Everything got a good scrub to get it up to scratch.
Even the vents were removed and dusted to make sure everything was as clean as it could possibly be.
"Day one complete," the pair said, as they ended the clip.
I bought a dated caravan & turned it into my family's very own second home for £4.5k - now we holiday for just £10 a day
Of course, the friends still have quite a way to go with their project, but after racking up a whopping 270k views on their first video many people chimed in to show their support.
One said: "Quitting my nursing job and doing that would be amazing! No appreciating in the job anymore."
"I don't blame you, I quit and worked the wards as a band three for three years. Nursing 19 years," a second chimed in.
And a third said: "Wonderful inspiration!! So many in the NHS dream of this and you've only gone and done it! All the best ladies!"
In the comments the pair also gave more of an insight into their plans going forward.
"We are buying and renting but also offering a management service for people who don't live in the area and want someone local to manage their caravan for them," they said.
Why caravan holidays are so underrated
CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple.
And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break.
Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated...
WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun.
She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays.
As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday.
No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs.
I still love caravan holidays as an adult.
In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics.
There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad.
I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade.
My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in.
And then, of course, there's the cost.
Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips.
With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad.
I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day.

'Life-saving' menopause product sells out three times
Scottish duo Jessica and Isla created the product after their friend experience surgical menopause at age 25 For women experiencing the effects of menopause, which often include vaginal dryness, discomfort, and a loss of sexual desire, finding a solution is crucial. It's a common issue that around 80% of women confront at some stage in their lives, not just during menopause. Gloriah's Soul Gel is a luxury, water-based lubricant specifically crafted for menopausal and perimenopausal women, which has been so popular that it has sold out three times. Those keen to try the formula, fear not, as it's now available again for pre-order with shipping set to start on July 14. Soul Gel owes its existence to co-founders Jessica and Isla, who were inspired by their close friend who experienced surgical menopause at the age of 25. Despite Isla's expertise as an NHS-trained nurse specialising in women's health, they found options lacking and decided to make their own product. Jessica shared: "We wanted to create the kind of product we wish we could've handed our friend when she hit menopause at 25. Something beautiful, bold, and stigma-smashing." As reported by the Daily Record, Gloriah's story starts with the Scottish founders having put their life savings into the venture and journeying to London for the brand's launch. Confronted with a negligible marketing budget, they got creative, plastering the London Underground with posters exclaiming 'lube in a tube'. Each poster came with a QR code directing people to their website, and their quirky guerilla advertising campaign quickly became an online sensation. Regrettably, TFL issued a cease and desist order, but the mission was already accomplished, and Soul Gel had sold out. Since then, it has sold out three more times, gained a loyal fan base, and launched in Superdrug and Tesco. The formula itself was specifically developed to support skin that has changed due to hormonal fluctuations or declines. Made with natural extracts like aloe vera, oat and ginkgo, Soul Gel aims to calm, soothe, hydrate and boost circulation, helping women reclaim comfort and confidence in the bedroom. Priced at £17, it's already positioned as a skincare-style investment for sex. The Mirror's readers can get 25% off with the code REACH25 until July 31, bringing the price down to £12.75. It's not just the formula that stands out, as Soul Gel comes in a 70s-inspired terracotta tube, giving it the same visual appeal as high-end skincare. Chic enough to sit on a dressing table without raising eyebrows, the packaging reflects Gloriah's broader mission; normalise conversations around vaginal dryness, pleasure and female hormonal health. For those who are keen to shop around, there are more water-based lubricants available. This includes the Shine Organic Lubricant by Maude (£21.59), a pH-balanced, aloe-based formula that is ultra-moisturising and non-sticky. Another option is YES Organic Water-Based Lube (£7.99) from Lovehoney, which has been well-received by those with sensitive skin. One user commented: "I have super sensitive skin, and this gave me absolutely no issues. Doesn't feel icky or sticky at all." Gloriah's Soul Gel has also garnered positive remarks from customers. A shopper noted: "After having my second baby, I needed something gentle and nourishing. This has been a lifesaver." Another satisfied user commented: "It does feel like a little moment for the soul. Calming, comforting, easy." Someone else praised the product's ingredients, saying: "The oat and aloe combo is genius. It feels so calming on my skin, not just down there but anywhere I use it." Despite the lack of negative feedback online, including its impressive 4.9-star rating on Amazon, free delivery is only available on orders over £30. This means a delivery charge of £3.75 applies when purchasing a single tube of Soul Gel. Yet, this hasn't deterred glowing reviews, with one person stating: "I expected it to be ok, but I didn't expect to love it. Zero stickiness. Just smooth comfort." Echoing the sentiment, another added: "I have super sensitive skin, and this didn't sting or irritate once. Can't say that for most products."

I watched YouTube for a week with my children. Here's what I learnt
At about 5pm every day, in the small window between after-school activities and dinner, my three and five-year-old daughters veg out in front of a screen. Sometimes they'll watch a cartoon on Netflix; occasionally they'll ask for CBeebies. The majority of the time, though, it's YouTube. The show they chose — or rather, that was algorithmically suggested — to watch one recent afternoon follows the adventures of a real-life brother and sister. They'd watched it before, as have many other children, since it's one of the most popular kids' channels on YouTube. While my daughters love the slapstick humour, to me it's like white noise, the background soundtrack to my multitasking. But the video they watched that day made me pay attention. In it the brother tricks his sister into thinking she has gained weight. Visibly upset, the little girl changes into a skimpy workout outfit to do star jumps, and later turns down a sandwich in favour of a plate of raw carrot sticks, before heading to her bedroom to weigh herself. I was horrified, both at what we were watching and at myself for letting my impressionable daughters access it. How was it, I wondered, that this type of content was being promoted on a platform marketed as family-friendly? And what else had they watched that had flown under my radar? According to Michelle Neumann, a professor of childhood education at the University of Sheffield who has carried out research on children's YouTube content, this is precisely the problem with a lot of what our kids are watching. 'On the surface many of these channels seem OK, so if a parent glances over their shoulder, they might think, that looks fun,' she says. 'But when you dig deeper, you realise there's a lot of problematic content.' So I set myself a challenge: for one week I would dig deeper, intently watching everything that my girls were looking at on YouTube to see what I would learn. I should preface my little experiment with a disclosure: my husband and I used to work for Google, which acquired YouTube in 2006. I joined in 2017, the year it emerged that bad actors were circumnavigating the platform's filters to run creepy, violent and explicit videos on YouTube Kids, the version of the app for under-12s. But the company's response to the scandal had been solid, I thought — introducing new guidelines for creators about what qualified as good children's content, beefing up its moderation and mass deleting inappropriate videos. • YouTube and the rise and rise of trash TV for kids In the years after the scandal, after we became parents, my husband and I found ourselves turning to the platform more and more for educational and entertainment purposes. The depth of content is simply unrivalled. For example, around the age of four, after reading a lift-the-flap history book in our local library, my eldest daughter developed a morbid fascination with the bubonic plague. Her endless curiosity quickly exhausted my limited grasp of 14th-century history, but I knew YouTube would have the answers. Sure enough, I found what seemed like an age-appropriate video that taught her everything she needed to know about the Black Death. She watched it repeatedly for months, until the next obsession took over (Egyptian mummies). This way of using YouTube is what Michael Robb, the head of research at Common Sense Media, the age-rating forum for parents, calls intentional — knowing what you're looking for and being deliberate about identifying it. The problem is, he says, it's just not reflective of how people actually use the platform. 'You could stay within a playlist that perhaps a parent has curated and have really good, high-quality content,' he tells me. 'But it's not how kids use YouTube, and it's not how it was designed.' When a carefully chosen video finishes, algorithmically powered suggestions on what to watch next can take kids down a rabbit hole of low-quality — even harmful — content. This became clear within about ten minutes of my week-long challenge. After watching a video where a monocle-wearing cartoon professor explained evolution (fuelled by another question that had left me stumped), what followed was a flurry of content that, had it appeared on terrestrial television, would have had the Ofcom complaints line ringing off the hook. In one video, which had more than a billion views, two young brothers showed off a homemade vending machine that spat out boxes of sugary cereal, fizzy drinks and chocolate bars. In another, a child played with what the video title described as 'girl' toys: a pretend sewing machine, a nail salon and a pink play kitchen (all things my girls love, I should add — but so, too, do lots of boys). • Apart from these (and other) examples of content that flouted UK broadcasting guidelines or featured dated stereotypes, most of what we watched might generously be called clickbait: content that promised to teach children to learn new words, say, but that ended up being a thinly disguised toy promotion. Many of the videos we watched had titles packed with educational-sounding buzzwords, but turned out to be garbage with no narrative arc, out-of-sync dubbing and, all too often, an undercurrent of consumerism. A spokesperson for YouTube told The Sunday Times: 'On YouTube Kids we provide parents with robust controls to decide what content to make available, whether approving specific content, choosing from age-appropriate categories, or the ability to block specific videos or channels.' They added that, after reviewing the links we shared, it had found no violations of its community guidelines. My experiment stacks up with what other (more rigorous) studies have found: the platform has a few gems, some quite shocking content and a hell of a lot of rubbish. 'We did some research a few years back and found that, while YouTube says it has a lot of educational, high-quality videos, really only a small percentage of the content could be classed that way,' Robb says. 'A lot of the videos that position themselves as being high quality or educational are very shallow.' By the end of the week I realised it was these types of videos that bothered me the most — content that Neumann described as 'wolves in sheep's clothing'. I feel well equipped to have conversations with my children about media content that very obviously challenges our family values. After watching the video that first triggered this article, I spoke to both my daughters about what we had just seen — how no food is inherently good or bad, about how we exercise to feel, not look, good. But knowing how to deal with the other, more innocuous-seeming content has left me as confused as when one of my kids asks me how birds evolved from dinosaurs. Colin Ward, a Bafta-winning former children's TV producer and member of the Children's Media Foundation, agrees that, like me, most parents are struggling to separate the wheat from the chaff. But he questions whether that type of pressure should be put on us in the first place. 'Parents can't be expected to police this — it's just not possible,' he says. Neither should we put our faith in the platforms to self-regulate, given their main concern is their bottom line. 'It's a very competitive market and they are focused on monetisation, so they're not going to change.' YouTube told The Sunday Times: 'We have strict advertising guidelines on YouTube Kids, and don't allow paid promotional content.' If we can't leave it to individuals or the free market to tackle, that leaves just one actor that might make a difference: governments. Ward knows that might not be popular with some people, but makes a point I think most parents will agree with. 'We all accept that there are some things that are important as a public service, whether it's the armed forces or parks, and that those things need taxes to support them and sometimes regulations,' he says. 'When it comes to our children having access to high-quality content and not just utter drivel, that too is surely a social good?' The present government has already indicated it will take action. Late last year the culture secretary, Lisa Nandy, wrote to YouTube urging it to make high-quality programming more visible on its platform. She also suggested that, if this doesn't happen voluntarily, regulation might force its hand. YouTube told The Sunday Times that it 'continues to engage regularly with the culture secretary, as part of our ongoing efforts to support the UK's high quality children's content creators'. But while she and others work on that, what are parents to do? Ban our kids from accessing YouTube? Co-watch at all times? Neither seems realistic, at least not in my household. I have promised we will continue to apply a little more of that all-important intentionality. In other words, relying on our gut when deciding what might be an appropriate video for our kids, rather than ceding control to an algorithm.

Black Sabbath at Villa Park review: moving reunion as Ozzy rocks out
Never mind those over-hyped Oasis gigs, there was only one truly historic rock comeback show over the weekend as Birmingham's Villa Park football stadium hosted Back to the Beginning, an all-star heavy rock gathering that reunited the full original line-up of the local heroes Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years, and the last time ever. This sold-out, all-day charity benefit event was essentially the retirement party for the band's 76-year-old singer and international treasure Ozzy Osbourne, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, and now has limited mobility. It is no exaggeration to call Black Sabbath the Beatles of heavy metal, their hugely influential legacy reflected in the multigenerational cast list of superstar head-bangers who came to pay tribute at Villa Park, all working for free. Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Anthrax, Slayer, Alice in Chains and many others performed short sets of about 20 to 30 minutes, each including at least one Sabbath or Ozzy song. • The best concerts in London and the UK to book in 2025 Not every set was a killer, but credit is due to Lzzy Hale of Halestorm, the only woman on the bill, for rocking harder than most of her male peers. Metallica were also reliably propulsive, exhilarating and adrenalised. 'Thank you Black Sabbath,' growled James Hetfield, 'for giving us a purpose in life'. Between the main bands, a fluid supergroup featuring members of Judas Priest, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers and more also played, joined by surprise guests including the Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and the rising pop-rock star Yungblud, who brought high-energy swagger to his reworking of Sabbath's 1972 power ballad Changes. The Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello served as musical director for the whole event, and gave a few shredding performances himself, pairing up with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler for riotously funky versions of Walk This Way and Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love. The Villa Park video screens also aired fond video tributes to Ozzy and Sabbath from famous well-wishers, including Sir Elton John, Dolly Parton and Jack Black. Black Sabbath have survived multiple splits, temporary reunions and premature retirements over their six-decade career. They last played in Birmingham with two huge 'farewell' shows in 2017, but Back to the Beginning inevitably had a more concrete air of finality, given Ozzy's health issues. Even so, the singer seemed in pretty fine voice when he finally appeared on stage to huge cheers, performing two short sets from a black leather armchair adorned with skulls and bat wings. Even a fallen emperor needs a throne. Ozzy opened with five songs from his post-Sabbath solo career, including a gothically camp Mr Crowley and the rollicking audience sing-along Crazy Train. After a short break, he reappeared with his Sabbath co-founders: the guitarist Tony Iommi, the bass player Terence 'Geezer' Butler and the drummer Bill Ward. There was a palpable sense of hatchets being buried and rifts healed at Villa Park, with Ward back in the fold after his acrimonious exclusion from previous tours. Sabbath's four-song set was all too brief, but still a pleasing reminder that seminal classics such as Paranoid, War Pigs and Iron Man retain their potent fusion of jazz, blues, funk, proto-punk aggression and doomy occult imagery. Climaxing with a blaze of fireworks, this was a mostly excellent and ultimately rather moving event. The artist formerly known as the Prince of Darkness may be hanging up his horns, but he is not going gently into that good night. ★★★★☆
