McDonald’s has revealed that six popular items are returning to the menu, and one of its fan-favourite burgers is making a permanent comeback.
By now, fast food fans are well used to the restaurant chain introducing different seasonal and limited-edition items to its ever-changing menu – with halloumi fries, Tiramisu McFlurries, and Spicy Chicken McNuggets just a few of the tasty treats people have been tucking into over the last few months.
But one of the limited-edition items fans loved the most had to be the McSpicy, right?
The McSpicy is was first introduced in late April last year, and although it seemed to prove pretty popular with people, the burger sadly didn’t stick around for very long and only enjoyed a limited run on the menu up until 6 June – until now.
McDonald’s has this week confirmed that the McSpicy is here to stay, and will join the McCrispy on the year-round menu after the latter became McDonald’s first permanent chicken burger in 15 years back in October 2022.
For those who didn’t get round to trying it the first time, the McSpicy is made up of a piece of hot and spicy 100% chicken breast in a crispy coating, with crunchy lettuce and a classic sandwich sauce, served in a sesame seed bun, and it’ll set you back just £4.79 on its own or £6.29 as a meal
The McSpicy isn’t the only burger McDonald’s is bringing back for a limited run either, as the chain has also announced that the iconic Grand Big Mac and Grand Big Mac with Bacon are returning to the menu too, starting at £4.89.

For those looking for something equally-spicy on the side, they’ll be pleased to know that the Chilli Cheese Bites are also making a comeback.

The Chilli Cheese Bites – which first appeared in McDonald’s back in 2021, and went down a treat – will be back with a portion of four chilli cheese bites in batter and a tomato dip priced at £2.29, or £6.29 if you fancy a sharebox version.
If all that spice has got tastebuds tingling a little too much, and you’re in the need of something to cool down and finish off the meal, then luckily, the massively-popular Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry and Galaxy Caramel McFlurry will also be available to buy from this week.

Those with a sweet tooth can took into either the full-sized or mini versions of the much-loved McFlurry.
Unlike the McSpicy though, you’ll need to act fast and get yourself down to your nearest Maccies soon if you’re keen to enjoy all of these other returning menu items, as they’re only around for a limited six-week run starting from today (15 February).

Greater Manchester set to be battered by ‘impactful’ heavy rain and wind this week

Greater Manchester is set to be battered by some heavy rain and wind this week, according to the Met Office.
While things have seemed surprisingly more settled for the time of year over the last week or so, with clearer skies and chilly winter mornings being fairly commonplace, all that will change very soon, as the Met Office has forecasted that the UK is set to be battered by some ‘impactful’ heavy rain and strong winds as the week goes on.
Low pressure systems will bring a more ‘unsettled’ spell of weather, with a severe weather warning for wind issued for certain parts of the UK.
Today is expected to be filled with grey skies and light rain here in Greater Manchester, with cloud covering much of the rest of the country, and other outbreaks of rain elsewhere, whereas on Wednesday, the focus of rain will shift to southern England instead.
The weather looks set to turn more unsettled during the forthcoming week 🌧️ 🌬️
Thursday is where it’s set to take the biggest downturn though, as a front bringing heavy rain moves eastwards through the day, and it’s us here in North West England that are expected to see the highest accumulations too, with 20-30mm could falling over the hills, and some hill snow even possible over the Scottish mountains too.
A deep area of low pressure will also have ‘deepened rapidly’ by Thursday, bringing ‘strengthening winds’ to western parts of the UK along with it overnight, followed by more heavy rainfall.

“A very deep area of low pressure will bring a very unsettled, potentially disruptive, spell of weather to the UK through Friday and into Saturday,” explained Chris Almond, who is the Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist.
“Winds will begin to strengthen on Thursday night, with the peak gusts forecast through Friday in Northern Ireland and western Scotland. The wind will also be accompanied by heavy rain bringing some unpleasant conditions to end the week.
“We have issued a Yellow weather warning for wind, and with several days before the impactful weather, the forecast details are likely to be fine-tuned during the week, so stay tuned to your local forecast and keep up to date with Met Office warnings.”
Poundland relaunches its £1 engagement rings ahead of Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and Poundland has hatched a plan to help those on a budget this year.
You can propose to your other half at any time of the year, but it’s fair to say that Valentine’s Day is a date much more popular than others – especially for those who want to surprise their partner with a gift they’ll never forget for the special occasion.
But with the cost of living crisis sadly still making its impact felt across the UK, a costly engagement ring is not something everyone is able to afford.
Luckily, for anyone keen to make the grand romantic gesture but while saving a few pennies at the same time, Poundland has decided to bring back its £1 engagement rings ahead of the season of love, so you’ll have plenty of time to get planning how you’ll pop that all-important question.
The budget retailer first launched its affordable engagement rings back in 2020, and they proved massively popular.

At just £1 each, Poundland says these symbolic rings – which are available in more than 10 different designs – are a “thoughtful” way to showcase your love for Valentine’s Day and beyond, and can help make the occasion “unforgettable”, all without breaking the bank and keeping your budget intact.
From timeless solitaire designs, to romantic heart-shaped details, each ring in the 2025 range is “uniquely crafted to add a touch of charm and elegance to your Valentine’s Day proposal”, according to the retailer, so whether your partner adores classic simplicity or something with a playful edge, there’s supposedly a ring to match every style.
And the best part? Each £1 ring comes beautifully presented in a red velvet heart-shaped box, so your proposal can “feel as special as the love you’re celebrating”.
