Dunelm has reduced the price of the Minnie Mouse cot
Dunelm usually charges £59 for the Disney Dream 'n Play Minnie Sweetheart Travel Cot.
But one shopper managed to pick it up for £14.30 in the reduced section of the store, offering a saving of £45.
The deal was shared in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, with the savvy shopper revealing they "never put anything in [their] basket quick enough".
They added it was "perfect for when we take our little girl away".
Another shopper described the product as an "absolutely fabulous" piece of baby equipment.
They said: "Excellent quality, value for money, nice to look at and easy to put up and take down."
While a third customer said: "Loved mine, from day one it was the only thing my daughter would sleep in."
If you are keen to shop the offer you may have to head to a physical Dunelm branch.
The product is available online but it is only reduced from £59 down to £47.20.
With that in mind, it may be worth ringing your local branch ahead of time to check stock levels to avoid a wasted trip.

How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

I flew on one of the world's best airlines – what to expect in premium economy as a 6ft2 passenger
The airline is soon launching the world's longest flight TAKING OFF I flew on one of the world's best airlines – what to expect in premium economy as a 6ft2 passenger Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IF you're going to spend 22 and a half hours on a plane, give or take, there are a few things you need. Comfort, entertainment and friendly staff rank high among the list of must-haves. (Also WiFi - but more of that later.) Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 I tried out Qantas' premium economy seats on one of their longest flights For these, a seat in Qantas' premium economy cabin while taking the slog from London Heathrow to Sydney (with a 2-hour layover in Singapore) ticks the boxes. As a 6ft 2in man mountain, I've had my share of uncomfortable experiences on long-haul flights. So a trip to Australia - the longest I'd ever attempted - did give me a slight sense of dread. An upgrade to premium economy on the upper deck of one the airline's Airbus A380s made the journey bearable, though. The seats were roomy enough to twist one way or another in sleep and also had the all-important extendable head-rest that adjusts from the sides for crucial extra support while dozing. With a decent pillow from the cabin crew (plus blanket, eye mask and all the usual gubbins) it was about the easiest I've found it to get some kip on a plane. The food was decent, and staff were more than happy to dig out an extra glass of wine when I was up to stretch my legs. The usual array of films and TV shows were available to pass the time on the entertainment system, but for those of us who like to alternate movies with in-flight games the selection wasn't the best. Which kind of brings me to the biggest criticism of the service - no WiFi. While I wouldn't necessarily use it, I know for others it would be an absolute necessity. Airline launches world-first onboard suites that are five windows long Qantas say it's in the process of being rolled out across the wider fleet and will be available on A380s in early 2026 (and free to all passengers). With non-stop flights between Heathrow and Sydney planned for early 2027, it's a good job it will be sorted. With no stopover in Singapore to jump on WhatsApp and Instagram, how would you update your family on what a wonderful journey you're having? Return from Heathrow to Sydney from £1475 economy, from £3097 premium economy. We've tried out some other amazing premium economy cabins as well. The Sun's Head of Travel Caroline McGuire raves about Norse Atlantic Airways' - here's why. Her'e's the airline that launched the first ever premium economy seat. And one airline has revealed plans to ditch premium economy.

Map reveals UK's pothole hellscape with thousands fed up with state of roads in major city – is your area in the top 10?
Across the UK, drivers are growing increasingly frustrated with pothole-filled roads, poor maintenance and the stress of deteriorating conditions DRIVING PAINS Map reveals UK's pothole hellscape with thousands fed up with state of roads in major city – is your area in the top 10? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE state of the UK's crumbling roads is driving residents around the bend, with motorists in major cities growing increasingly frustrated by the deteriorating conditions. Motoring experts have unveiled the cities where frustration with potholes and congestion is at its peak - revealing that these issues are playing a significant role in one in three Brits losing their passion for driving. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A pothole plague and bumper-to-bumper congestion - why millions of Brits are falling out of love with driving this summer Credit: Getty 3 Driving in the UK has gone from a symbol of freedom to a stressful chore, as worsening roads leave motorists fed up Credit: Getty 3 Belfast leads the frustration over potholes As it's the summer, many motorists are preparing to pack up their cars and head off on their family holidays. But according to a new report from car finance giant Carmoola, millions are simply dreading getting behind the wheel - due to the country's worsening roads and traffic. A particular issue is the UK's so-called 'pothole plague', contributing to a third of drivers (32%) saying they no longer enjoy driving. Hot-headed road users - described as 'aggressive or impatient drivers' - are the main reason half (49%) of Brits have become disillusioned, while 46% claim the stress of driving has taken all the joy out of it. Aidan Rushby, chief executive of Carmoola, said: 'We have uncovered a very human truth. 'That driving, once a symbol of freedom and adventure, has become something many people now dread.' Belfast drivers are the most ticked off when it comes to the conditions of their roads, with 26% saying they're overly frustrated with the state of potholes. Meanwhile, when it comes to congestion, 38% of Glaswegians say bumper-to-bumper congestion is what riles them up the most. These statistics highlight why only a quarter of road users view driving as a source of escape, while 34% see it merely as a practical means to get from A to B. Indeed, many say they simply find driving boring and would choose almost anything else above getting behind the wheel. Keir Starmer says councils must prove they are making potholes repairs or lose funding To that end, 20% would rather organise their sock drawer and 15% say they would sit through a three-hour meeting instead. 13% would prefer to watch paint dry and 9% would opt to do a tax return. UK'S WORST AREAS FOR POTHOLE FRUSTRATION REVEALED Belfast – 26% Nottingham – 22% Plymouth – 22% Birmingham – 20% Manchester – 19% Newcastle – 18% Cardiff – 17% Southampton – 17% London – 17% Bristol – 16% Edinburgh – 15% Glasgow – 15% Brighton – 13% Norwich – 12% Liverpool – 11% Leeds – 9% Sheffield – 9% POTHOLE PLAGUE Back in March, it was found that our pothole-plagued roads will take 12 years and nearly £17billion to fix, according to a report. More than half of local streets have less than 15 years of life left, says a survey by the Asphalt Industry Alliance. But, on average, they are re-surfaced only once every 93 years. AIA boss David Giles laid bare the scale of the problem, explaining how, despite £20billion being thrown at road maintenance in the past decade, the short-term approach has failed. He said: 'There have been no significant improvements in structural road conditions.' The AIA claims getting roads back to ideal condition would take 12 years and cost a corking £16.81 billion. Its survey also found 94 per cent of local authority highway teams believe there has been no improvement to their roads over the past year, with two thirds saying they have got worse. And despite councils spending £137.4million filling 1.9million potholes last year, the repair backlog continues to balloon. The Department for Transport said: 'We're investing £1.6billion to help councils resurface local roads and fix the equivalent of up to seven million extra potholes over the next financial year.'

My colleague has taken a last minute holiday and left me to present a major project alone… Help!
Scroll down to read five ways to save on baby showers BOSSING IT My colleague has taken a last minute holiday and left me to present a major project alone… Help! APPRENTICE star and West Ham United vice-chair Karren Brady answers your careers questions. Here, Karren gives her expert career advice to a reader who has been left to present a stressful project alone after her colleague took a last minute holiday. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Karren Brady gives you career advice Q: My colleague and I have been working on a stressful project for the past six months and it's finally reaching the crunch point – but she's chosen to take a last-minute holiday over the two weeks we need to deliver the project and present it internally, then put it in front of the client. I understand the whole process of getting the project to this point has been difficult and meant some long hours, but I feel abandoned and like I now have to carry it all on my own, which is causing me huge anxiety and stress. What should I do? Amelia, via email A: First, speak to your manager about the situation as soon as possible. Explain clearly that with your colleague away during such a critical phase, you're concerned about the impact on delivery of the project and don't want the workload and pressure to compromise the final result. Ask whether some tasks can be reassigned or if extra support is available. Set firm boundaries – don't take on everything alone, especially at the cost of your physical and mental health. Keep a written record of your agreed responsibilities and decisions during this time to protect yourself and manage expectations. When your colleague returns, have a respectful but honest conversation about how this affected you, so it's less likely to happen again. Apprentice star Karren Brady terrified after burglar launched FOUR raids on £6m home in 16 hours taking designer gear Most importantly, prioritise your mental health and wellbeing – take breaks, ask for help when you need it and be clear about what you can and can't do. As tough as the current situation is, moments like these can highlight your resilience and capabilities, and will give you a chance to show your manager how well you handle pressure and take the lead when it counts.
