How to create privacy in your garden
CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden:
1. Fencing
Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy.
2. Hedges and Plants
Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier.
3. Outdoor Curtains
Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution.
4. Sound Barriers
A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.
Social media users react
The video - which many said they could relate to - has since taken the platform by storm, amassing close to a whopping 300k views and 294k likes in just two days.
More than 130 people also flooded to comments, where many suggested their solutions - some more hilarious and bizarre than others.
One joked: ''You should take the sheets away, turn your chairs round to face them....and sit there and watch them watching you all evening.''
Another chimed in: ''I can relate!''

Someone else chuckled: ''you should start doing random things in your back garden like wear black robes with a hood and start doing pretend satanic rituals with candles and freak them out lol.''
A fourth advised: ''get rid of the concrete, plant some trees nobody overlooks you then.''

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit. Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people. 4 Shoppers can choose from three styles Credit: 4 The cute set is available in Dunnes Stores Credit: Garrett White - Commissioned by The Sun Dublin Advertisement

People call me a ‘bad mum' for letting my 7-year-old get a spray tan – they need to mind their own business

A MUM has clapped back at trolls who slammed her for letting her seven-year-old daughter get a spray tan. The fiery parent took to TikTok to share a sweet moment between her and her little girl, explaining that her daughter had asked for a spray tan and so she booked them both in for one.

But Noel wasn't having any of it. She clapped back, posting a follow-up video declaring: 'She's just a girlllll!!!' and reminding critics that her daughter's confidence matters more than their opinions. Her TikTok bio reads 'Mind your business' – a pretty clear message to anyone judging her parenting.

I used tanning nasal sprays twice but they've left me with permanent skin damage, they made me feel dizzy & nauseous too - says former Miss GB Still, the backlash kept coming, with more parents commenting things like 'Please stop' and 'Why are we normalising this?' But some were quick to defend her, pointing out that a spray tan is a safer alternative to sunbathing, which exposes skin to dangerous UV rays. One supporter wrote: 'Spray tan better than getting a sun tan and skin cancer – I say go for it!' Advertisement Experts warn that there's no such thing as a 'safe' tan from the sun and any darkening of the skin is actually a sign of cell damage, which can even lead to skin cancer. So a spray tan seems like a safer option. But the row taps into a wider debate on whether kids are growing up too fast. According to a study by the Department for Education, 88% of parents believe children are being pressured to mature too early – pointing fingers at celebrity culture, adult-style clothing, and social media.

Why the 'Tanning Mitt Painting' trend isn't as good as it seems Painting door frames and banisters with a tanning mitt is a DIY trend everyone is obsessing over on social media. But Rebecca Miller, Fabulous' Associate Editor, and DIY-enthusiast reveals why you should put down the tanning mitt, and revert back to the old-fashioned paintbrushes and rollers for your next painting project. "A tanning mitt might be a cost-effective solution to painting your home, but it can't compete with a traditional paintbrush or roller. Tanning mitts offer a smooth, even application, but it doesn't compare to the professional and precise finish of a brush or roller. When it comes to painting detailed areas, like edges and corners, a paintbrush is the best tool for a job. Equally, if you are applying a new paint colour, you might need several coats of paint, and a tanning mitt can only provide very thin coats of paint - meaning you'd be spending more hours on the job! Painting brushes and rollers are also much easier to clean and are longer lasting. Tanning mitts usually need throwing out after one use which is neither good for the planet nor your wallet."
