With the warmer weather approaching, many shoppers might be out the look out for new bedding. One duvet in particular has garnered praise for helping with ‘sleep and night sweats’, and it has also seen a price cut on the Dusk website.

The Supreme 80% Goose Down Duvet Collection is now available for £48 down from £60 on the Dusk website for the 4.5 tog double size, saving buyers £12. It is also available in other sizes: single (£40), king size (£56) and super king (£64), so there should be a choice for everyone. Plus shoppers can get an extra 15% off with the code EXTRA15.

Buyers can also choose between a range of togs for different prices. All of the duvets are described as being ‘sumptuously soft, lightweight and warm’, and are filled with 80% cosy and plump goose down and 20% light goose feather. The duvet is encased in 100% cotton and is said to ‘ensure ultimate breathability from season to season’.

Dunelm also has a wide selection of all-seasons duvets, including the half-price Duck Feather Duo 7.5 + 10.5 Tog All Seasons Duvet for £45, down from £90. That’s a 50% saving for a duvet that is described as the ‘ultimate seasonal comfort’.

Trending in the M&S homeware sale is the Deluxe Hungarian Goose Feather and Down 10.5-tog Duvet which is currently 50% off, priced between £79.50 to £109.50. This one comes in single, double, king size and super king size, with prices varying.

The duvet collection is available for single, double, king size and super king.

The Supreme 80% Goose Down Duvet Collection has got 885 five-star reviews on the Dusk website. One shopper was particularly enthusiastic about their purchase.

They said: “I bought two of the 13.5 All Season quilts, one for myself and one for my daughter who struggles with sleep and night sweats. The quality of the quilts is extremely high and the performance superb. The cotton casing is very high quality. Using both quilts, 4.5 & 9, they are lightweight but warm and snug, but not too warm.

“My daughter says it’s the most comfortable quilt she has used and her sleep has improved significantly. I have no doubt that the 4.5 tog will be just as pleasing in the warmer months. I did a lot of research before buying and for quality and price I don’t think Dusk can be beaten.”

Another added: “Great service and great product. Our duvet was delivered promptly and we love it. Lovely item, we would highly recommend Dusk.”

A third said: “Crisp, fluffy and amazing value. Proper ‘crisp’ cotton casing with that satisfying rustle, paired with a super fluffy filling – it’s the perfect combination! The fabric feels high-quality and down-proof, and it breathes brilliantly so you never overheat. A solid investment that’s worth every penny for a great night’s sleep.”

And a fourth added: “Purchased this but was a bit sceptical as it was expensive but I’m so glad I got it. Worth the money. You get what you pay for.”

One shopper was disappointed, saying: “Received order very quickly. However despite being a 13.5 tog it doesn’t feel as warm as I expected.”

The Supreme 80% Goose Down Duvet Collection is available from Dusk. Prices are correct at the time of writing.

Kerry Katona has candidly revealed her plans to move out of UK may come sooner rather than later as she revealed her daughter Dylan-Jorge’s school is set to close later this year

Kerry Katona has revealed the closure of her daughter Dylan-Jorge’s school could be a ‘sign’ for her to fast-track her plans to move abroad with her beau Paolo and their children.

The 45 year old, who is a proud mum to her five children, revealed in her first joint interview with Paolo Margaglione with OK! magazine last month that the couple plan on moving their blended family to sunnier climates within the next year. And now, it seems that move may come sooner as Kerry has revealed the news that her daughter Dylan-Jorge’s school is closing down might be a “sign”.

Writing in her latest column for new! magazine, Kerry revealed: “I recently got a message announcing they are shutting DJ’s school down in July. Molly, Lilly and Heidi all went to that school, so I am truly gutted. Now we’re running around trying to get her into a different school, but they favour pupils who already have siblings who attend, so DJ’s been put on a waiting list.”

The mum added: “I’m in touch with another school but we keep missing each other, so I’m wondering if this is a sign to up and leave to Spain and start fresh…” It comes after Kerry and Paolo shared their plans to move out of the UK within the next year as she opened up about their romance in their first joint interview.

When asked where they see themselves in a year’s time, Paolo spilled to OK!, “Hopefully somewhere hot and sunny. The idea is, at some point, to potentially move away from the UK. It’s something I wanted to do and something Kerry’s wanted, too.” Meanwhile, Kerry revealed: “We do have a plan”.

Kerry is a proud mum to Molly, Lilly-Sue, Heidi, Max and DJ while her businessman beau Paolo has two daughters, Milani and Nola, from a previous relationship. Kerry even teased a move to Dubai after her trip to the UAE city last month.

Writing in her column at the time, she gushed: “I can see why so many celebrities move to Dubai. It’s definitely somewhere I’d consider moving to. It’s safe, clean, it’s lovely, everyone looks after each other – in fact I could probably see myself living there this time next year. And my children would come with me. Kate and Rio Ferdinand moved there last August and I can see why she might be struggling like she mentioned last week – sometimes it does take time to adapt.” However, in her latest column it appears she’s now got her sights set on Spain…

It did feel cruel, and not a little unfair, to give up all hope of good prose as early as page four, but that’s where it happened. It was right there in capital letters: “IT’S GRISHAM DAY, PEOPLE.” As in John Grisham, whose looming visit to Aunt Orsa’s — the fine-dining restaurant in a Midwestern university town in which the novel is set — gives the book the tension that propels it along. Grisham’s books are a great holiday read, but the man is not known as a stylist. If he is one of Rebecca Kauffman’s literary heroes — and, given she’s framed a book around him, it feels fair to conclude he must be — then, you think, anyone who reads seeking beauty in words is in trouble.

She developed her brand Stil after years of frustration and reactions to mainstream chemical sunscreens.

Sunscreen is one of the most important skincare products we use, but it’s also one of the least loved.

But Co Antrim woman Tash Hagan is on a mission to change that. Tash, 33 and from Larne, has just launched a new mineral sunscreen after a flare-up of a chronic health condition inspired her to explore natural cosmetics.

She developed her brand Stil after years of frustration and reactions to mainstream chemical sunscreens.

A former pupil of Olderfleet PS and Cambridge House Grammar in Ballymena, Tash studied fashion at the University of Central Lancashire. She then spent over 12 years working in e-commerce across the UK, Australia and Europe, starting as a stylist and later becoming an Art Director at fashion brand Boden.

Living with Crohn’s disease for over 20 years made her ingredient-aware and increasingly frustrated by a category dominated by harsh formulas and outdated aesthetics.

Tash told Belfast Live: “I’ve had Crohn’s disease since I was 12 years old, and it’s made me fiercely protective of what I put in and on my body. I’ve spent my adult life dedicated to my health and wellbeing to manage my disease without medication.

“It started with clean eating, and after realising that personal care products also caused me to flare, I became obsessed with natural cosmetics and researching ingredients.

“When I returned home after living in Australia at age 29, I struggled to find an SPF on the UK shelves that I trusted. I couldn’t find a sunscreen I enjoyed using or wanted on my bathroom shelf, and I knew I wasn’t alone.

“Mineral sunscreens existed, but they were chalky, hard to rub in and felt like a compromise. This is when I originally had the idea for Stil. It’s the sunscreen I was searching for – kinder to skin, considered for the ocean, and feels like beauty.”

Launched just this month, Stil is on a mission to take minerals mainstream. Designed for sensitive skin and modern life, Stil creates mineral sunscreens that protect effectively, blend beautifully, and actually feel good to use – no white cast, no harsh chemicals, no clinical feel.

The brand made its debut with Daily Face SPF 30, a mineral sunscreen made with non-nano zinc oxide, 97.8percent natural ingredients and a ‘skincare-first texture’, said its founder. Additional products, including a body SPF and lip SPF, are already in development.

Tash explained: “Although we have slightly worse weather or not as many sunny days, I think that’s where we think we don’t need sunscreen. That’s really what I want to help change – the whole attitude and mindset around wearing SPF.

“People think they don’t need it when it’s not sunny, which is when UVA rays come into it, and they make you age quicker, leading to skin damage. We need protection from that on a daily basis, even on cloudy days and when we’re not just constantly in the sun.

“Sunscreen is always regarded as an inconvenience, and I’m flipping that on its head. It’s time to protect our skin and make it an enjoyable step in our everyday routine, something that’s not a hindrance, and not just for holidays.

“The mission is simple: to make suncare people trust, enjoy, and actually stick with. Sunscreen hasn’t changed in decades, but it’s time it did.”

A message to Chelsea from Wrexham’s owner established just how clear their aspirations are

Wrexham welcomed Chelsea for their FA Cup fifth round encounter but it was following their previous international meeting that the Championship team signalled their Premier League aspirations to the London club.

The Saturday evening match at the Racecourse Ground marked the first competitive game between the two sides since Wrexham’s 1-0 victory over Chelsea in 1982. However, the two teams did face off in July 2023 during a pre-season match held at Chapel Hill in the United States.

Ahead of the Red Dragons’ inaugural season in League Two after being promoted from the National League, they were put through their paces against the Blues, then managed by Mauricio Pochettino.

Competing before a crowd of 50,000 spectators in North Carolina, Wrexham suffered a hefty 5-0 loss with the final three goals netted in the last 15 minutes. Despite the disheartening outcome, the club’s co-owner Rob Mac, previously known as McElhenney, remained upbeat as he delivered a message to their top-tier rivals post-match.

The Always Sunny star posted on X: “Thank you @‌ChelseaFC!!!! Hopefully we’ll see you again in 5 years or so.” Currently enjoying a run of three successive promotions from the National League to the Championship, Mac’s optimistic forecast remains feasible with Wrexham currently occupying sixth place in the league – the final playoff spot.

After a challenging start to their campaign in the second-tier, which saw Wrexham secure just two victories from their first 10 league matches this season, Phil Parkinson’s team have rallied and now sit just nine points adrift of second place with 11 fixtures left.

The club have triumphed in their last three games – their second-longest winning run this season – and their 1-0 victory over Charlton earned them particular commendation from Parkinson. The manager said: “We showed incredible resilience today to get the win.

“There were some key moments in the game. Brilliant blocks by [Issa] Kabore and [George] Dobson — then a brilliant finish from Ollie. Arthur made a save from their first shot on target — but what a save it was. We know Carey is lethal from those situations. He has hit it low and hard, through legs, and Arthur has produced a match-winning save.”

It comes after Irshad Ahmad beat established party figures including economy spokesman Daniel Johnson and business manager Martin Whitfield to top the Edinburgh and Lothians East regional list putting him in line to become an MSP in May.

Labour has received a formal complaint over claims of voter irregularities in a Holyrood selection contest.

It comes after Irshad Ahmad beat established party figures including economy spokesman Daniel Johnson and business manager Martin Whitfield to top the Edinburgh and Lothians East regional list putting him in line to become an MSP in May.

Ahmad won the place despite having formerly been an SNP and Alba candidate as a hard-line nationalist, and being relatively unknown in Labour circles.

There has been claims of hundreds of new members being signing up to support him and also claims members have been found not living at the houses listed in Labour records in Edinburgh North Western.

It is also claimed that the electoral register showed some members living in a different council area.

The Sunday Mail has learned Labour’s Governance and Legal Unit (GLU) has now received a letter of complaint and has responded saying the matter will be investigated.

A whistleblower said: “People are very concerned about this and want to see a genuine investigation.

“There has been reports of people not even knowing they are members of the Labour party and others not living at the addresses that they are claimed to live at.

“This is a really serious matter and Labour has a duty to investigate it properly, it can’t just be brushed under the carpet.

“The party don’t seem to want to take action as we are in the run up to an election and this has the potential to spark negative stories, but people deserve answers.”

A letter sent to GLU states: “I wish to raise my concerns regarding Irshad Ahmad who is now in the running to become a Labour MSP.

“It’s vital I make you aware of this now so that we have the right people in positions of power or importance.

“I hope something will be done, its not just about the party.”

Ahmad was born in Faisalabad, Pakistan, and moved to Edinburgh in 1993. He is a director of a convenience-store business based in Musselburgh.

He has links to the Sarwar Foundation, the charity set up by Anas Sarwar’s father, and is president of East Edinburgh Muslim Forum.

Questions have also being asked of Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie who runs Scottish Labour’s usually strict vetting process.

Several insiders are puzzled about why Ahmad, given his nationalist background, was approved in the first place.

Labour has been approached for comment.

When he stood as an SNP candidate by attempting to oust Ash Regan in 2016 and 2020, Ahmad accused Regan of being soft on the constitution.

Regan – who later joined Alba and now sits in Holyrood as an independent – has said allegations of attempting to pack local parties with supporters “sounds familiar”.

Asked by reporters about his candidacy for Holyrood, and how many members he had signed up, Ahmad repeatedly responded: “We are here to listen to Anas.”

The attack follows a series of “retaliatory strikes” by Tehran against American buildings in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia

A blast has struck the US Embassy in the Norwegian capital of Oslo, police have confirmed, with multiple explosions heard at the entrance to the US compound in the early hours of Sunday (March 8) morning.

It remains unclear if anyone sustained any injuries in the explosion.
