I saved £10k renovating my council house by doing the work myself

A mum who rented a run-down council house has spent £3k renovating it - using bargains from Primark and B&M - and saved £10k by doing the work herself. Celene Francis, 25, started renting her council house in April 2020 and has renovated the property to make it more of a home.

"I have saved myself loads of money - I have bought a lot of items from B&M Bargains and Primark. I love the H&M home section, but you walk into B&M Bargains and can get the same stuff for a fraction of the price." "I painted the whole house white - I've put new flooring in, changed the kitchen completely by painting the cupboards and adding a new worktop. I have done panelling and slack walls throughout the house - I have tried to keep it all running in the same theme."
