I lived in London on a houseboat with my son – it was great but cost £1.8k a month & a gross reason nearly made me quit

A WOMAN has opened up about the honest reality of living on a houseboat in London – including the gross reason she nearly quit.

Carla Cresswell, 29, and her son Crue loved watching glorious sunsets from their home on the water, but realised that life on land was better in some ways.

Carla said the sunsets were great on the boat – but there were some drawbacks[/caption]

On her TikTok account @ccresswell95, she shared how she was left horrified when she had to deal with the boat’s sewage system. 

Single mum Carla said she hadn’t been told that the sewage tank needed to be emptied every two weeks.

One day the waste started coming back up the toilet at 1am and she was forced to scoop sewage out for seven hours using a plastic bowl. 

While some people move onto boats to save money on bills, Carla paid £1,800 a month for hers on the River Thames.

Another reason she started to rethink boat life was due to the maintenance the boat required.

Showing a slow-dripping shower, she explained: “When I forgot to refill my water and had to shower in this before work.”

The mum also said creepy crawlies were a huge negative and she would be infested by green flies at 9pm every evening.

However, she argued that the swarms of spiders helped to catch them.

In addition to this, a flock of loud Egyptian geese once took up residence on her roof.

The single mum was also worried about their safety while they lived on the boat. 

She explained: “When my child and I saw the lights switch off and somebody run through our boat as we arrived home. Had to get the neighbour and police, turns out it was just a reflection!

“And when a rescue boat whizzed past her houseboat, the current of the river was so forceful that her mirror smashed.”

Carla stated that on the whole, the pros of boat life “outweigh the cons” and in one video she said: “I love my life and wouldn’t change it for the world!”

In another video, she added: “One minute you’re a single mum left to raise a toddler alone in London, the next you’re living in a houseboat with your (now) 6 year old and puppy living your best life. It gets better.”

Despite Carla recently leaving the boat to travel in Australia, she insisted she wouldn’t change it for the world.

Many people were impressed at the floating home, with one writing: “Can I get a tour? Always wanted to live on the canal.”

Another added: “Oh wow! Sounds challenging.”

Pros and cons of living on a house boat

Houseboats can be cheaper than buying a home on dry land but doesn’t come without risks.

You may be able to get a special type of mortgage for a boat, but it can be more difficult than getting a traditional home loan and have higher rates of interest.

You won’t pay stamp duty when buying a boat to live on, and you can move to a different location whenever you want without having to sell up.

You might even be able to live in a location where you wouldn’t be able to afford a bricks and mortar house.

But space can be more limited, and the value of houseboats can generally go down over time, like a car or motorbike.

A licence which you need from the canal and river trust can cost anywhere between £510 and £1,100 a year depending on the size of the boat.

There are likely to be ongoing costs for maintenance and mooring as well as fuel, a boat safety certificate and, of course, insurance.

There’s always something that needs to be done on a boat – from engine servicing to treating rust spots, not to mention emptying the toilet and filling the water tank.

Energy bills could be higher on the boat than a home as they are generally harder to insulate.

If your boat is moored permanently, it will typically be in the lowest tax band, with single occupants benefiting from a 25% reduction.

However, if you’re happy to move every two weeks as a ‘continuous cruiser,’ you won’t have to pay this

But he already had his mind on what is to come later in the week as he shared a tip for viewers.

Chisora, 41, told punters to back Ballyburn in the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase on Wednesday.

He told viewers to “put your house on it”, prompting a quick intervention from the broadcaster.

Cameras cut away as an ITV commentator said: “No no don’t do that.”

Fans found the interaction amusing as Chisora caught the broadcaster off guard.

One reacted saying: “Derek Chisora going “bet your house on it” at Cheltenham and I just know the producer in the reporter’s ear is panicking going ‘SAY BET RESPONSIBLY’ 🤣

Another added: “Derek Chisora just made Oli Bell and ITV racing s*** themselves 😅😅

Where Man Utd’s incredible 100,000 stadium will rank among world’s biggest as ambitious plans revealed

MAN UTD have confirmed plans to build a stunning 100,000 seater stadium near Old Trafford.

The vision, billed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe as the ‘Wembley of the North’, will cost a staggering £2billion to create.

United have ambitiously proposed that it will be completed within five years.

While, the struggling club will fund the ground itself, while the UK government will help support the regeneration of the Trafford Park area around the stadium.

United’s planned stadium would become the largest in the UK – overtaking Wembley, which has a capacity of 90,000.

However, how does it compare to football stadia around the world? SunSport does the number crunching to tell you the biggest around the globe.

10. Estadio Azteca, 90,000

Found in Mexico City, the Azteca is the home of Club America and the Mexico national team.

It is the largest stadium in Latin America and sits at an altitude of 7,200 feet above sea level.

Steeped in history, it has hosted two World Cup finals – one won by Pele, another by Diego Maradona.

It also hosted the infamous England vs Argentina 1986 World Cup match, where Maradona scored the ‘Hand of Goal’, as well as the ‘Goal of the Century.’

It is currently under renovation to expand its seating from 87,523 ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

9. Wembley Stadium, 90,652

The home of football, Wembley is English football’s mecca.

The national team plays there, the cup finals and playoffs feature, while Oasis will be playing seven sold-out concerts from the summer.

It is currently the largest stadium in the UK, and second biggest in Europe.

The stadium was built by Australian firm Multiplex at a cost of £798 million – opening its gates in 2007.

Fun fact; it has the largest roof-covered seating capacity in the world.

8. King Salman International Stadium, 92,000

In its infant stages, the King Salman International Stadium is proposed to be the biggest stadium in Saudi Arabia.

It will play host to the 2034 World Cup final, set to take place inside the amazing Riyadh venue.

Designed by architecture studio Populous, it will have a capacity for 92,000 spectators.

Populous revealed: “The stadium will blend into its surrounding topography, with terrain and natural habitat forming part of the stadium’s roof.

“Aside from its aesthetic appeal, this design will provide effective shading and ventilation tailored to the desert climate.”

7. Lusail Stadium, 92,349

Construction began on Qatar’s Lusail Stadium in 2017, and it hosted only three friendlies before it opened for matches at the 2022 World Cup.

It is cooled using solar power and is claimed to have zero carbon footprint.

However, there are plans for the stadium to be reconfigured into a 40,000-seat stadium.

Excess seating will be removed and other parts of the building repurposed as a community space with shops, cafés, athletic and education facilities, and a health clinic.

6. FNB Stadium, 94,736

Nicknamed the Calabash, it is the home of football and rugby union.

The South Africa nationals teams of both sports use it, while the South African first division team Kaizer Chiefs also play there.

Incredibly, the Chiefs hold the record attendance, which is over the current capacity, of 94,807 for a match against the Orlando Pirates.

Again, it’s a venue that’s steeped in history.

It was the site of Nelson Mandela‘s first speech in Johannesburg after his release from prison in 1990, and served as the venue for a memorial service to him on 10 December 2013.

5. Misr Stadium, 96,940

The Misr Stadium is Egypt’s entry into proceedings.

It is part of the Egypt International Olympic City, a large sports complex that has been under construction since 2015.

It will have a training ground, two indoor halls (one of them a 15,000-capacity arena), an Olympic-size swimming pool, and other buildings.

That’s being built with an eye toward the country’s possible bids for the Olympic Games or the World Cup.

4. Man Utd’s new stadium, 100,000

Set to be created by architects at Foster and Partners, the stadium would feature an umbrella design and a new public plaza that is “twice the size of Trafalgar Square”.

Three giant towers, inspired by the Red Devils’ trident, will dominate the skyline and hold up the “umbrella” – a sweeping glass and steel canopy above that will keep fans dry inside and outside what would be Britain’s biggest stadium.

Their own, tree-lined version of Wembley Way would stretch from beyond the current Holy Trinity statue, to well inside the existing Old Trafford with land currently used for a car park and freight terminal behind the Stretford End coming in to play.

3. Camp Nou, 105,000

Barcelona are currently reconstructing the Camp Nou to make it the biggest stadium in Europe.

They have invested a staggering £1.25billion into the project which will see the capacity rise to 105,000.

It was due to be completed in time for the club’s 125th anniversary last November.

There has been a fresh delay, though, according to Spanish sports news site Relevo, who report the earliest return is now slated to be October 2025.

While the report adds the stadium’s roof will not be installed until summer of 2026.

2. Hassan II Stadium, 115,000

Projected to be completed in 2028, Morocco’s Hassan II Stadium will be the biggest stadium in Africa.

It is named after the late King Hassan II, who ruled from 1961 to 1999.

The proposed Hassan II Stadium was used as a bargaining chip, when Morocco had aspirations of hosting the 2010 World Cup, then 2026 World Cup.

They lost both bids, but will now share the tournament with Spain and Portugal in 2030.

Estimated costs are around £400million, which seems pretty cheap for now, but will surely rise.

1. The Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, 150,000

The Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in North Korea is the biggest in the world.

Officially, it can hold up to maximum of 113,281 spectators.

After a 2014 remodel which included the replacement of some bench seating with individual seats, observers estimated the capacity to be lower than its original build.

Still, in 2022 it was confirmed, if they so wish, The Rungrado 1st of May Stadium is still expandable to housing 150,000 fans.

It first opened in 1989, currently used for football matches, a few athletics events, and most often for the mass games of the Arirang Festival.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un held a 2022 New Year’s Eve party on the grounds there, while he has also delivered political speeches there too.

Shocking moment TV star model Aleska Génesis is arrested just MOMENTS after leaving ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house

THIS is the shocking moment a TV star model was arrested just moments after exiting a popular reality show.

Aleska Génesis, 33, was met by Mexican authorities following her elimination from an American-Spanish version of Celebrity Big Brother, La Casa de los Famosos All Stars.

The footage shows the distraught model being led to a car before being driven to a women’s prison in Mexico City.

Génesis has been accused of being involved in a “gang-related theft” of luxury watches.

And this is not the first time the model has been taken into custody in connection with the case.

Génesis was stopped at Mexico City International Airport on January 20 last year after her name triggered an alert with immigration officials.

She, along with two other women, was accused of stealing three luxury watches from a property in the Mexican capital in October 2022.

The stolen watches were valued at more than 10 million MXN, or £380,500.

The items belonged to Mexican casino chain tycoon Francisco Javier Rodríguez Borgio.

Borgio was made aware that Génesis had allegedly tried to sell the the watches in Miami after being contacted by a friend.

Following her arrest last year, Génesis was taken to a women’s prison in Mexico City.

But she only spent a few hours there, as a judge ordered her release due to insufficient evidence.

Before entering La Casa de los Famosos All Stars, Génesis knew that there was a warrant for her arrest.

She managed to obtain a legal safeguard against the arrest, but it was no longer valid once she was voted out of the house.

On Monday, Génesis shared a story with her 8.1 million Instagram followers from a fellow Venezuelan model named Michell Roxana.

It read: “Today, I’m revealing the truth: There is no crime, no real evidence against us; just lies fabricated by Francisco Javier Rodríguez Borgio.

“There’s clear evidence that this is all a set-up by Borgio to harm and tarnish our image.”

Génesis is from Maracaibo, Venezuela, and has appeared in music videos for Anuel, Sebastián Yatra, and other famous artists.

BlizzCon 2026 confirmed as Microsoft’s gaming mega event to reveal SECRET news about games loved by millions of players

ONE of the world’s biggest gaming festivals is coming back to life after a three-year wait.

BlizzCon – which is hosted by Microsoft-owned Blizzard – sees tens of thousands of gamers flocking to hear the latest gaming news.

And the next BlizzCon event is set to take place on Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13 in 2026.

The first BlizzCon took place all the way back in 2005, and it’s attracted top musical talent.

Closing Ceremony acts have included Metallica, Linkin Park, Muse, Blink 182, Ozzy Osbourne, Tenacious D, and The Offspring.

The event focuses on blockbuster games from Blizzard, which is part of Microsoft‘s Activision.

That includes titles from the Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and Overwatch franchises.

The most recent event was BlizzCon 2023, which means there will have been a three-year gap between events.

Blizzard used to host BlizzCon every year, but breaks have become more frequent – with this being the longest gap.

“Our celebration of our universes, connection, and community is coming back to the Anaheim Convention Center next year,” Blizzard said.

“Over the past nearly 20 years since its inception, BlizzCon has inspired us to innovate, push the boundaries of creativity, and deliver once-in-a-lifetime moments.

“It’s important that we put on an event worthy of our community.

“For 2026, alongside BlizzCon staples like Opening Ceremony, in-depth panels, the Darkmoon Faire, friendly competition, hands-on gameplay, and more, we aim to meaningfully elevate this iconic celebration and create an unforgettable experience for all who take part in it.”

Gamers who attend usually get to claim a free goodie bag filled with merch – plus exclusive in-game items.

And they’ll get to hear the latest updates first about upcoming Blizzard games.

This is also one of the first BlizzCon events since tech giant Microsoft bought up Blizzard’s parent company Activision.

The buy-out happened less than a month before the 2023 BlizzCon, which meant it was still very fresh.

There’s no pricing for tickets yet, but a single entry cost $299 for the 2023 event.

Blizzard also hasn’t revealed when tickets will go on sale, but it’s usually a few months before the event.

So what can gamers look forward to at BlizzCon 2026?

Blizzard won’t reveal its exact plans ahead of time, but we can make some educated guesses.

World of Warcraft is one game into its Worldsoul Saga trilogy, which with Midnight and The Last Titan still to come.

It’s unlikely that all three will be out before BlizzCon 2026, but the event could be used to reveal what comes next.

Shooter hit Overwatch 2 came out in 2023, replacing 2016’s Overwatch.

There’s no word on whether an Overwatch 3 is in the works, but we’d expect to see major updates to the existing game at least. That could include new game modes, maps, and characters.

Hellish RPG Diablo 4 also launched in 2023, a lengthy 11 years after Diablo 3.

It feels far too soon for Diablo 5, but Blizzard has teased a new expansion for 2026 – following this year’s Vessel of Hatred.

There hasn’t been a new Starcraft game since 2010, unless you include expansion packs and 2017’s remaster of the original game.

So action-RPG fans will be hoping for Starcraft 3 to drop – or maybe some other game set in the sci-fi universe.

And we could also see big updates to other Blizzard games like card-battling hit Hearthstone or phone-friendly Warcraft Rumble.

Sadly Heroes of the Storm news seems unlikely, given that Blizzard ended development of the game back in mid-2022.
