With spring officially here, and much of the UK set to bask in sunshine this week, Asda is selling the ideal accessory for dog owners.
We’ve already been enjoying some cracking weather in Greater Manchester over the past weekend, but now that forecasters at the Met Office have said for us to expect “plenty of sunny spells” this week, and temperature highs of 18°C are predicted on Tuesday and Wednesday, it’s made us all realise that we need to start properly prepping for the summer.
Pets always need special consideration when the heat starts to creep in, which is why for those with a four-legged friend in their lives, supermarket chain Asda is selling an outdoor gazebo dog bed that comes complete with its own cover for less than £30.
The Grey Dog Bed Gazebo is said to be the “perfect place for your pooch”.
A description for the bed – which comes flat packed for home assembly, and can be dismantled for easy storage – on the Asda website reads: “This dog bed gazebo from George Home is designed in modern grey with a mesh panel base for ventilation, and it offers a stylish way to keep your furry friend cool in the sun.”

The best bit? It’ll only set you back £29.

The reviews of the gazebo bed by those who have managed to get their hands on it already appear to be really positive too, with plenty of happy dog owners branding it as “amazing” and “a great price”.
One person wrote on the Asda website: “Stunning bed for my dog she uses it in the garden and in the house, looks great, very sturdy, easy to put together, and a great price.””
Another customer noted how the gazebo is ideal for indoor use during the colder months too, writing: “I read the reviews before ordering and this bed is superb, and great value for money for the size it is.

“The dog is sleeping on it inside for now until the weather improves.”
The Grey Dog Bed Gazebo is available both in selected Asda stores UK-wide, and on the Asda website here.
Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores

Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
