‘How I saved £10,000 on my house renovation using high street bargains from Primark and B&M’

A mum has revealed how she spent just £3,000 transforming her run-down council house, using bargains from high street stores Primark and B&M - and saved herself £10k doing the work herself.

When Celene Francis, 25, moved into her council home in Sheffield, she says it was in a “dire condition”, with plaster all over the floor, yellow ceilings and wallpaper peeling off. She has now gutted the property.
