Mum-of-six on holiday in Spain slammed for claiming sunbeds for her ‘big family' first thing & then going for a DAY OUT
Plus, experts weigh in on whether you should reserve your sunbed with a towel on holiday POOL DRAMA Mum-of-six on holiday in Spain slammed for claiming sunbeds for her 'big family' first thing & then going for a DAY OUT Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MOTHER-OF-SIX has come under fire after claiming sunbeds for her family first thing in the morning - only to then head out for the day. Mum and TikToker Stephanie was slammed after she revealed she claimed several sunbeds at the pool area for her ''big family''. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Once the sunbeds had been reserved, Stephanie and the brood then went for a day out for the day Credit: TIKTOK/@mummyandmilliemaex 2 As well as having a hearty breakfast, the family also went shopping - and only then returned to the poolside Credit: TIKTOK//@mummyandmilliemaex But rather than chilling outside and soaking up the glorious sunshine by the pool, Stephanie then went for a day out with her bumper brood. The family, her TikTok page revealed, are currently enjoying a holiday in Spain - despite the mum confessing her ''annual leave hasn't been approved''. Once the sunbeds had been claimed by placing their towels on top, Stephanie and her family went on a stroll to find a breakfast spot. ''We have come as a big family, so we have to be there early,'' Stephanie explained her logic behind the move. For brekkie, the mum showed in the clip, the brood opted for pancakes topped with appeared to be scrambled egg, a frittata, toast and baked beans. ''These did not disappoint. We came here every day for breakfast - it's amazing.'' A while later, after the family had devoured the dishes, the sun-soaked Brits headed for a mini shopping trip in the area. It wasn't until Stephanie and the bumper brood had finished shopping for clothes that they returned to the accommodation - and finally enjoyed the poolside, as well as their sun loungers. Since being posted online, the clip has amassed more than 115k views in just two days - and the mum has been shamed for claiming the sunbeds. More than 600 people gave the video a like, as over 560 others flooded to comments to share their thoughts - and criticism. Fuming holidaymakers foil fellow Brits sneaky plans to secure sunbeds seven hours before hotel pool opens One person was baffled, writing: ''I can't believe you claim the sunbeds and then leave.'' Someone else was just as stunned, commenting: ''Why claim sun beds if you're going out for the day?'' A third chimed in with their approach: ''All hotels should do the same thing. Experts weigh in on whether you should reserve your sunbed with a towel on holiday EVERY summer, hotels become the sites of frantic battles, as guests try to reserve the best loungers with their towels first thing in the morning. But etiquette and elegance expert Katarina, who shares her expert opinions about manners on TikTok at @ says people need to be less selfish and more considerate of other hotel guests. In the footage, she said: "If you're staying at a hotel, avoid blocking the sunbeds if you're not planning on staying. It's disrespectful toward other guests. "Unless the hotel has a reservation system in place, only occupy the sunbeds when you're staying by the pool." Renowned etiquette expert, William Hanson, believes there is a 30-minute grace period on poolside reservations. This is where hotel guests can use a towel or a book to reserve a spot for no longer than half an hour. William told the Sun Online Travel: "In the morning, at the start of the day, and you're by the pool after breakfast, then it's fine at 8.30 to put your towel on the bed to reserve your spot. "But later on in the day after you've used the lounger, and go off for a massage, for example, which is going to be an hour, then you can't use a towel to reserve the sun lounger." If you're grabbing some grub at lunchtime, William said holidaymakers are allowed to eat at the hotel bar or restaurant providing you're not gone longer than 30 minutes. He said: "It also gives your towel time to dry off." William said despite the grace period, "You can't hog the sun lounger for the entire day." Meanwhile, Laura Akano, the Principal Coach and Trainer at Polished Manners doesn't believe holidaymakers have a right to reserve a lounger at all. She told the Sun Online Travel: "I think it should be a first come first serve basis - if the resort doesn't have a booking system." ''After 30 mins of not been on sun lounger, towels are removed and other people get them.'' Many eagle-eyed social media users also spotted the sorry state of the sun loungers - which hundreds thought belonged ''in a prison exercise yard''. ''Rather lie on the floor than those beds,'' a person joked. ''I'd have to jet wash them beds 1st,'' a TikToker chimed in.

Four in 10 Brits have never used their grill for fear of BBQ 'head chefs'
Brits have enjoyed a succession of heatwaves so far this year making it perfect weather for a BBQ outside and a new study gives a surprising insight into those cooking Summer is here and the sun's been shining, which means many Brits are firing up the BBQ. But that doesn't mean we're cooking on them. That's because 40% have never even used their BBQ - mainly because someone else takes over, according to a new study. Sausages, burgers, kebabs, and corn on the cobs might be the order of the day, but many of us don't get a look in when it comes to the grill. A staggering 62% have someone that takes over when it comes to the BBQ, however one in three (32%) secretly want to take over the role of head chef. While grilled food is a tasty addition to our summer menus, it's also a bone of contention in many households, with over a quarter (28%) admitting to arguing over who is the best BBQ chef in their house, according to the Ninja poll. But many people are intimidated by cooking on a BBQ, with more than a third (36%) of people wanting to BBQ more but lack the confidence. Radio DJ and BBQ lover Chris Stark, loves to cook on the grill and has shared his top tips to smash it on the BBQ this year. 'If you know me, then you know I absolutely love a BBQ – and yes I have been guilty of taking over,' he says. 'If you're sick of being overshadowed by the BBQ connoisseur of your household, or you want the confidence to try al fresco cooking for yourself, then I've given some super simple tips and tricks on how anyone can become the BBQ connoisseur in no time, particularly if you have the help of easy to use equipment such as the Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker.' Fire up the grill and become an ultimate BBQ supremo with Chris' top tips Use a food thermometer: A lot of people don't have one to hand when cooking outdoors but for me it's essential for BBQ cooking, even better if your BBQ has one that's built in. Rest the meat! This is a step that people often overlook. Barbecued meat should rest for as long as it's cooked. Equally you should always bring any meat to room temperature before cooking. Smokiness is the beauty of a BBQ. Depending on what BBQ you are using, wood chips or pellets are a must have addition for that gorgeous smokey flavour. Sharpen your knives: Invest in good quality and make sure they're sharpened ahead of the day. No one wants to use a blunt knife! Say cheese: I'm a big fan of cheese and over the years I've tried a variety of different ones on the BBQ. Don't be shy to get creative! Ditch the standard cheddar and try Raclette - a great option for cheeseburgers or even pizzas. The Ninja Artisan Electric Outdoor Pizza Oven & Air Fryer is an outdoor oven that is perfect for cooking pizzas within 3 minutes in the summer months.

I'll never go back to ‘depressing UK' – I quit my waitress job to jet off & now rake in £120k a year living in paradise
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WAITRESS who quit her job in London with just £1,000 to her name now earns up to £10,000 a month and says she'll never return to the UK. Kelly Wickramasuriya, 24, packed her bags and moved to Thailand at just 21, expecting to run out of money within weeks. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 A waitress left London to start a new life overseas 5 Kelly Wickramasuriya says she'll never return to the UK Credit: Jam Press But now she lives between Bali and Dubai, enjoying year-round sunshine, luxury apartments and a life she says is miles away from her old one. Kelly said: 'I find the UK super depressing. 'People are always complaining and have a victim mindset.' Originally from Essex, Kelly says she was stuck in a rut, working long shifts at an Italian restaurant in Covent Garden, scraping by on low wages and only going out for special occasions. 'I couldn't afford the amount of hobbies I have right now,' she said. 'Back then, my big treat was going to the pub at the weekend. Now, I do acroyoga, take singing classes and learn languages – all under the sun.' After graduating from uni in 2022, Kelly booked a one-way ticket to Thailand, hoping to travel for the summer before reality pulled her back home. She added: 'I had £1,000 in my account. I thought I'd be sofa-surfing back in the UK by the end of the month. 'But I was desperate not to go back.' Instead, she scoured the internet for ways to make money remotely and stumbled across user-generated content (UGC) creation, filming videos for brands to post on social media. Strictly star reveals she's quitting UK to live in Dubai without boyfriend who grew up there Kelly explained: 'I started creating content for brands and it just took off. I'm now earning five times what I made as a waitress." These days, her 'office' is wherever she wants. It could be a sunbed in Bali, her Dubai apartment balcony or a beachfront café in Thailand. She also travels regularly to Australia, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. Her day-to-day routine is a far cry from her old life in grey, chilly London. She added: 'I wake up with no alarm, meditate for an hour, then hit the gym or grab breakfast at a cute café. "I work a few hours and then I'm off to a class or hobby, whatever I feel like.' Kelly says the shift in her mental health since leaving the UK has been huge and it's not just the sunshine that's helped. 'The people and the energy are totally different. "Everyone is friendlier and happier. It rubs off on you. In the UK, it's cold and people are just miserable.' Despite missing her loved ones, Kelly insists her relationships haven't suffered. She said: 'We FaceTime all the time, and they come out to visit me. My best friends are now scattered all over the world and I love that.' She's even inspired her family to follow in her footsteps. She said: 'My mum started UGC too, she's 55, has a full-time job and managed to fly herself out to see me. If she can do it, anyone can.' And while she'll occasionally pop back to Essex to visit, Kelly says her future is firmly overseas. 'I'll go home to see family for a month every year or two but that's it. The UK is one of the most depressing countries in the world. "After living abroad, I completely get why.' She added: 'It's really not hard to change your life. If it doesn't work out, you can always go back – but I know I never will.' She's not the only Brit trading dreary, concrete skylines for golden sands. A young woman recently revealed how her health improved after she moved from the UK to Dubai, saying life at home was 'making her sick'. Ela Reeves was struggling with a series of health conditions prior to the move, including chronic fatigue, sore joints and acne. With her body 'crying out for change', she decided to try life in sunnier climes and jetted off to Dubai for a new life in January and has never looked back. How easy is it to move abroad? Brexit means British citizens now have to apply for visas to move to countries within the EU. While some countries residency restrictions are easier than others, here's what you need to do at home before moving: Notify HMRC about your upcoming move. Let your local authority know and provide a forwarding address. Contact your mortgage and utility providers and bank before leaving. If you have paid enough UK national insurance contributions, you can qualify for a state pension abroad - contact the International Pension Centre. You can sign up to the Royal Mail's redirection service. If you have outstanding student loans, contact the Student Loans Centre. If you have children, give due notice to childcares and schools. 5 Now she urges others to do the same and earn an income abroad Credit: jam press 5 She also spends time travelling around other countries Credit: Jam press
