AMAZON is selling the perfect budget-friendly buy to transform your garden into a haven this summer. With UK temperatures continuing to soar this week, many Brits will likely be making plans to spend as much time as possible in the garden. 2 2 But before you make any big plans to invite guests over for BBQs or garden parties, you want to make sure your patio is looking it's best. And although you may think that jazzing up your outdoor space will be pricey, Amazon has the perfect budget buy for penny pinchers. The Lezonic Solar Lights are priced at just £8.49 and come in a wide range of bright colours, to transform your home into a whimsical oasis. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, so you could even use them to decorate the tree at Christmas, giving them year round use. The lights are solar-powered meaning there's no need to faff about plugging them in. Simply string them around your patio, and watch as they automatically turn on at dusk, instantly brightening up your outdoor space. Plus, the lights are waterproof, meaning you don't have to worry about bringing them inside during adverse weather conditions. And if you're in a rush, the lights are available for next-day delivery, making them perfect for any last-minute summer plans.

A second person said: "Very bright and colourful and excellent value. I transformed my garden patio into summer haven for less than £100 with cheap B&M buys including gadget to keep bugs out "Good quality and worked immediately. Shone all night brightly."

How to repair broken patio slabs THE paving specialists at Simply Paving told Fabulous how you can repair broken patio slabs, without the faff. The experts advised: 'If you have a loose paving slab, then it's unlikely it can be lifted straight by hand. Instead, you will probably need a hammer and chisel to prise the paver free of your patio. 'To remove loose paving slabs without damaging your flagstones, carefully chip away at the mortar around the paving slab with the plugging chisel and rubber mallet until the slab comes completely loose. 'Then, slide the spade into the gap left by the mortar and prise the paver free of the patio. "As you lift it up, place a short piece of timber underneath the spade to act as a lever, making it easier for you while protecting the slab underneath. 'When the paver starts to give, place the cylindrical wood underneath it and roll the slab out of the patio.' Scanning at £7.99, the solar lights automatically light up at dusk and feature a flame effect LED to illuminate your garden during the summer evenings. Home Bargains says the lights bring a "magical glow to your outdoor space", while each light comes with a rechargeable battery and is easy to install. The retailer adds on its website: "The lights automatically turn on at dusk, providing a warm, inviting ambiance with a stunning flame LED effect. "No wires or fuss—just let the sun charge them during the day, and enjoy the beautiful light as the evening falls." And bargain fans are racing to snap up £10 LED rose string lights from The Original Factory Shop. The product description reads: "It's a great no-fuss addition to any garden, terrace or gazebo, providing light in those darker corners and colour all year long." The faux foliage and rose detailing aim to replicate the look of real climbing plants without the maintenance.
