Announcing that you're expecting a baby is some of the most exciting news to share. But one mum-to-be's big moment was hijacked by her "mother-in-law from hell" who shared it online before the couple had even told the rest of the family. The woman, named Cari, explained all on TikTok, where's she's known as @momma121521, in a video that has since been viewed more than 140,000 times. The mum-of-three said: "Tell me your mother-in-law is crazy without telling me she's crazy.... I'll go first." She claimed that she and her husband had announced to her that they were expecting, and unsurprisingly she was really excited to become a nan. Cari said: "She walks out the bathroom and says ‘oh my god, I want to post it everywhere, I want to tell everybody'. "I said 'no, do not do that because we are not going to be sharing with social media, anyone except family, for a few more weeks'." But an hour after she left, Cari was scrolling through Facebook , only to see that her … [Read more...] about ‘My toxic mother-in-law announced my pregnancy before I’d told anyone’

When something is really dirty and disgusting, it can be incredibly satisfying to watch it get cleaned and return to its proper state. Brandon Anderson, who helps professional cleaners find clients, recently showed off a video of someone doing just this to a filthy carpet. However, viewers who saw the clip on TikTok were horrified - as they initially just assumed that the carpet was a chic dark grey colour. But as the expert went at the fabric with a steam cleaner, the carpet can be seen to completely transform back to its original shade. And it wasn't meant to be grey at all - it was in fact beige. The carpet had so much dirt and grime in it that it had darkened over time due to lack of care. Thousands of people have watched the clip, mesmerised by the cleaning process. One person replied: "But HOW?!" Another said: "This is why I HATE carpet."

Nestled amongst rolling hills of English countryside, Porton Down's stunning surroundings give little hint at the deadly secrets it holds. The armed guards and police surrounding the high-containment scientific facility in Wiltshire however, certainly do. Having opened in 1916 in response to Germany's creation of Chlorine Gas during WWI, the UK developed its first 'War Experimental Station' - a top secret government laboratory that has since housed some of the world's most deadly substances. From vials of plague, where a few drops alone could kill hundreds of thousands, to coronavirus variants being tested for transmission rates and vaccine response - the 7,000 acre site, better known as Porton Down, is one of the most secure and secretive in the country. And while the Chemical Weapons Convention saw a ban on the production and stockpiling of deadly pathogens in 1963, Porton Down is the only place in the UK permitted to create nerve agents - such as Anthrax, Chlorine Gas and … [Read more...] about Inside UK’s top-secret Porton Down lab where plague, Covid and nerve agents are held
