A woman who rented a run-down council house has spent £3k renovating it - using bargains from Primark and B&M - and saved £10k by doing the work herself.<br /><br />Celene Francis, 25, started renting her council house in April 2020 and has renovated the property to make it more of a home.<br /><br />When she moved in, the mum-of-one said the house was in a "dire condition" with plaster all over the floor, yellow ceilings and wallpaper peeling off the wall.<br /><br />But that didn't stop Celene from gutting the house and putting her own stamp on her new home.
