Molly-Mae splashes out £770 on parking tickets in just over a year – as she gets ANOTHER fine on £200k G Wagon

MOLLY-Mae has been slapped with another parking fine – leaving her forking out £770 for her £200k G Wagon.

The TV star and influencer was seen parking her Mercedez-Benz as she headed to work.

However, Molly-Mae returned to find she had been slapped with another ticket by a traffic warden.

The 25-year-old was snapped as she pulled the bright yellow notice and fine from her windscreen.

It’s the eleventh time the Love Island winner has been spotted receiving a parking ticket.

According to Manchester Council’s website on parking contraventions, parking in a restricted zone carries a higher penalty.

The £70 fine means Molly-Mae has forked out £770 on tickets in over a year – if she hasn’t appealed them.

In September the star’s G-Wagon caught the attention of the warden patrolling her near offices in Manchester.

Back in March Molly-Mae received not one but two fines in the same month, again on her £200k car.

Meanwhile, Molly-Mae recently sparked rumours she was getting back together with Tommy Fury.

The pair were spotted together for the first time since their breakup four months ago as they took their daughter Bambi out.

They took their little one for a walk in the winter sunshine and both dressed down for the occasion.

The fashion brand owner wrapped up in a snug brown bomber jacket, grey joggers and boots.

Molly previously slammed rumours she and boxer Tommy were reuniting, but now it seems she’s thawing towards him after he was accused of cheating on her.

When and how to appeal a parking fine

More than half of motorists have successfully appealed parking fines from local councils, an investigation by The Sun found.

The best way to beat a parking charge is to avoid getting one in the first place – but if you do come back to your car and find a ticket there are some ways of beating the system.

However, how you appeal will depend on the type of parking ticket you have – so it’s important to check before you start the process.

the amount find if you’re hoping to appeal.

The second step is to read the information provided on the ticket so you know how long you have to challenge then fine.

Once you’ve got an idea of how long you have, you can make an initial appeal to the ticket issuer.

You can do this by phone, post or email – make sure to include supporting evidence as to why you believe you have been incorrectly fined.

A fine may be deemed unfair by the council or an independent adjudicator if:

  • Signs were wrong – If the signs weren’t visible or gave the wrong information
  • The traffic warden got it wrong – for example if a parking attendant thinks you stayed too long when you were in fact within the time limit
  • An error on the letter or ticket- if they’ve left out any information on the ‘Notice to Owner’ letter, then you could get it waived
  • You didn’t own the vehicle at the time – you’ll have to prove this, such as information you provided to the DVLA
  • Your car was stolen – if a thief parked the car illegally then you can get it waived
  • There was no way to pay – if a parking meter or machine was broken and there was no other way to pay
  • Your car broke down – if you were given a ticket while waiting for your car to be fixed or towed away
  • You couldn’t get back to your car – you should appeal your ticket if you couldn’t get back to your car because it’s difficult for you to walk because you’re disabled, you’re pregnant or you have a very young baby

My flawless gran, 90, is my biggest beauty inspo – her ‘sweep & pinch’ technique is brilliant for beating wrinkles

BEAUTY fans spend hundreds on posh products in a bid to keep wrinkles at bay, but you might not need to.

One woman has shared her 90-year-old gran’s tips and one of them won’t cost you a penny.

Sarah Palmyra took to TikTok to explain exactly how her 90-year-old gran looks so good – and there are a few simple steps she swears by.

Her first rule is to always clean your face before going to bed – it might seem obvious, but it makes all the difference.

You can use any products to do this, but Sarah explained her gran starts this process with an eye makeup remover, followed by a cleansing milk and then a toner.

“My grandma has always believed that rinsing your face with water can actually strip your skin, so instead she uses a toner from Clarins, which she has used for decades,” Sarah added.

Her next rule is that anything she applies to her face also gets applied to her neck, chest and hands.

Not only does this trick stop you wasting expensive product, but it keeps wrinkles at bay from not just your face.

But the 90-year-old’s best beauty tip is all about how she applies the products.

Her sweep and pinch technique involves gently pinching around the neck and face to boost circulation to those areas.

“[She] always uses light, upwards sweeping motions when she applies her products, but she pinches her neck every single morning to increase blood flow,” Sarah explained.

And finally, Sarah said she’s never seen her gran leave the house without wearing sunglasses, as protecting her skin from the harsh rays is a must.

Likewise, she said her gran also applies SPF religiously and will also wear a hat if she’s going to be out in the sun for long periods of time.

After sharing the beauty tips fellow skincare fans were stunned.

One commented: “Looking young is cool but she looks so healthy in general for that age.”

And a second said: “Omg she’s so pretty! And she doesn’t look 90 at all!! I would’ve guessed in her 50s or younger.”

“Her skin is absolutely insane,” a third chimed in.

And someone one said: “Your grandma is so pretty!”

Previously, Dr. Sonia Khorana, GP & Dermatology Expert at the UK-based company Hero Cosmetics, shared some of her top tips for keeping wrinkles at bay.

Dr. Khorana said three skincare ingredients should be used regularly alongside sunscreen to maintain young skin.

Retinoids top her list as they help to stimulate collagen production, increase skin cell turnover, and help reduce pores and fine lines. 

and beauty products should “always” be applied from thinnest to thickest consistency. 

“To get the most benefit out of a regular skin care regimen, you only need to follow a few simple steps: cleanse, treat, moisturize, and protect,” Dr. Khorana said.

She recommended cleansing in the morning to start the day on a “clean slate” as well as in the evening.

Double cleansing isn’t vital unless the skin is oily or you have been wearing heavy makeup.

She warned that overwashing can cause “dryness, sensitivity, and irritation.”

Cleansing should be followed with treatments, such as vitamin C serum in the morning and retinoids in the evening. 

Why is turmeric good for anti-ageing?

A study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that turmeric and curcumin may help prevent DNA damage and aid in DNA repair.

This is promising news for disease prevention and slowing the ageing process. It also:

Boosts Collagen Production: Collagen is a protein that maintains the skin’s elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Turmeric helps stimulate collagen synthesis, thereby promoting firmer and more youthful skin.

Improves Skin Health: Turmeric has been shown to improve various skin conditions, such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help soothe the skin, reduce redness, and promote a clearer complexion.

Jessica Simpson fans ‘don’t even recognize her’ with new look for music comeback as divorce rumors swirl

JESSICA Simpson fans are shocked over her new look for her music comeback as they ‘don’t even recognize her’ in her latest photo.

Jessica, 44, looked super glamorous as she posed in a recording studio with her blonde hair down while showcasing a beautiful makeup look.

She said, “I can’t wait for y’all to hear the soundtrack of my soul,” as she leaned back in her seat wearing a black blazer with a white silk skirt and top.

The A-lister could be seen rocking a fishnet bodysuit beneath her outfit, which she paired with heeled cowboy boots.

Many couldn’t get over Jessica’s look with one fan writing, “Who is this, even?”

Another added, “Would have never known this is Jessica Simpson.”

A third echoed, “This is a Jess Simpson body double.”

Another follower thought it was Paris Hilton.

Someone else called the star “Jessica Kardashian,” and she was also likened to Ivanka Trump.

There were a huge number of positive comments, however, praising Jessica’s stunning look, as well as sharing their excitement for her music.

It’s not the first time fans have questioned Jessica’s ‘new’ look.

Earlier this year, the singer showed off her figure in a skintight gown, which hugged her body and put her major cleavage on display.

The mom-of-three accessorized with chunky rings and had her nails painted in a chrome color.

But fans were left stunned by the photos, with many claiming the TV star looked “unrecognizable.”

“I couldn’t even tell who this was…” one confessed.

“New face? Why? She changed her classic nose. So sad,” a second agreed.

“She was so pretty. I don’t understand why she did this to her face,” a third admitted.

IT’S OVER?

It comes as the blonde beauty sparked divorce rumors in recent months.

The singer and fashion designer failed to mention her husband, Eric Johnson, on social media for their 10th wedding anniversary back in July.

She also recently shared a cryptic post while recording music in Tennessee on Instagram, writing, “This comeback is personal, it’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”

Jessica and Eric's relationship timeline

The couple is said to be living separate lives but have not filed for divorce.

Jessica Simpson finalized her divorce from Nick Lachey in 2006 and went on to date the likes of John Mayer and Tony Romo.

She then met former footballer Eric Johnson and the pair went public in 2010, with him popping the question just months later in November.

They welcomed their firstborn, Maxwell, in 2012, followed by Ace in 2013, before finally tying the knot in 2014.

The couple then had their third child, Birdie, in 2019.

She previously gushed about the star and said they “rarely fight”.

But rumors of a separation have been ripe for several months, after the star was seen without her wedding ring.

She also failed to mention Eric on their 10th wedding anniversary, and he has not appeared in any romantic social media posts.

The last time she shared snaps with her husband was during Easter break with her children, but they were not standing together.

They are yet to shut down rumors they are separated and reps for the pair did not respond to comment calls from The U.S. Sun.

One insider told The U.S. Sun last month that divorce has been on the cards for a long time, as their marriage has had many ups and downs.

“Jessica and Eric have had problems for years, even before the pandemic. It’s sadly no surprise they could be heading for divorce,” the insider said.

“Eric has often left Jessica alone at night to go out partying at bars; he didn’t ever seem to care if anyone recognized him or not.

“She is sober now, so that’s not her scene at all.

“He was even spotted at the likes of Hyde on Sunset, known for a younger crowd and celebrities, and didn’t wear his ring.”

Beloved Harley-Davidson store set to close after 73 years as shoppers cry it’s ‘bad news for the community’

MOTORCYCLISTS have been left heartbroken after a beloved Harley-Davidson store announced it’s shutting its doors after 73 years.

Customers will no longer be able to stop by the Harley-Davidson Sports Center in Duluth, Minnesota, which is about 150 miles north of Minneapolis.

Dennis and Suzanne Kachelmyer, the longtime owners of the motorcycle shop, announced the closure in a Facebook post on Monday.

Shoppers shared their sadness and frustration over the news in the comments of the post.

“This is bad news for the biker community,” one Facebook user wrote.

“Good luck to all the employees who are affected by this. Hopefully somebody comes through and buys this business for us owners.

“We have no other option close to us for our bikes.”

Another wrote, “What? That is devastating news, I’m sorry to hear this. I live in International falls and this is my closest dealership.”

“Really sad news, was just getting ready to make plans for some work before next years riding season,” a third shared.

The owners shared in the comments that they’re selling their existing inventory.

While regular business activity has already ended, they’re finishing up the work orders and remaining inventory, including motorcycles.

They say regular business activity has already ended, and they are winding down the pre-existing business. That includes service work orders and remaining inventory, including motorcycles.

The store’s last day of operations is unclear.

Customers with gift cards to the center can request a refund or redeem them for existing merchandise.

The owners shared that sharing years of excitement behind the handlebars has been a privilege.

“Our passion for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the people, and experience has led us to share a lifetime of immeasurable joy and excitement, doing what we love doing every day!” the Kachelmyers shared.

Harley-Davidson closures in 2024

There are over 650 Harley-Davidson dealerships across America.

However, multiple stores have closed for various reasons throughout 2024 – if they give any explanation at all.

Below is a list of some Harley-Davidson locations that have shuttered this year and why they closed their doors:

The San Francisco location closed in June after 110 years due to ‘chaos’ brought by new management.

Miracle City Harley-Davidson in Titusville, Florida, closed in September with no reason given.

Harley-Davidson’s legacy location in New York City closed shop on September 28, with the owner citing problems with the economy.

Reiman’s Harley-Davidson dealership in Kewanee, Illinois, closed its doors in October after the owners sold the business to the Walter Brothers Harley Davidson dealership in Peoria, Illinois.

Plus, the dealership in West Bend, Wisconsin, is temporarily closing for the season from November 2 until April 1, 2024.

“It saddens us to react to these challenging economic times, being faced with the difficult decision to close our doors and wind down the business.”

“To all of our Harley-Davidson family, we thank you all for this lifelong journey!” the owners wrote.

“Continue to ride and have fun; we look forward to seeing you on the road!”

The store didn’t immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.

While the Kachelmyers are stepping away from their business, another motorcycle family is planning to expand its empire.

Carolina Coast Harley-Davidson in Wilmington, North Carolina, and Beach House Harley-Davidson in Shallotte, North Carolina, are changing owners after being managed by Rick and Janice Noyes for over three decades.

The two showrooms are being taken on by Charlie Cole, Will Cole and Freddy Tedesco of the Cole Family of Harley-Davidson Dealerships.

Andy Reid’s clear plan for Patrick Mahomes injury return revealed as Kansas City Chiefs star deals with ankle problem

KANSAS City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid’s plan for the injured Patrick Mahomes has been revealed.

The star quarterback suffered a mild high ankle sprain in Week 15 – and Kansas City doesn’t have much time to decide if he’ll be able to play Saturday versus the Houston Texans.

Patrick Mahomes suffered the injury during the second half of the contest against the Cleveland Browns.

He was hit by multiple Cleveland defenders high and low as he let go of an incomplete pass.

Reports have indicated that Mahomes’ injury is “week-to-week” and that he could miss the Week 16 game.

However, Chiefs radio announcer Mitchel Holthus made his opinion clear concerning what he believes the team will do with the three-time NFL MVP.

“If Mahomes is cleared to play, he will play,” Holthus said during a radio appearance on 96.5 The Fan.

He did add, however, that, “I’ve never seen this coaching staff or this athletic training staff ever force a guy back from an injury.

“They have gone out of their way to show discretion. They will not hurry a guy back and risk further injury.

“So if Pat can’t go, he won’t go.”

Holthus finished his thoughts on the topic by saying that the next few games “are way too important to try to get the bye” and emphasized that capturing the No. 1 seed will result in just one contest in 24 days.

Reid spoke to reporters on Tuesday and revealed an injury update on Mahomes.

“We’ll see how Pat does. He’s going to go through some stuff and we’ll see how it works out for him,” he said, per NBC Sports.

Reid also said that the team won’t factor the short turnaround from Saturday’s game to their Christmas contest versus the Pittsburgh Steelers into their plans with Mahomes

“If he can go, he’ll go,” the 66-year-old said. “If he can’t, then he can’t. It’s that simple. That’s how we’ll roll. I’ll just take it day by day and see how he does.”

Kansas City’s latest win pushed their record to 13-1.

A win against the Texans and a Buffalo Bills loss or ties will lock them up as the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

The same outcome can take place if the Chiefs tie with the Texans and Buffalo loses to New England.

As a result, they would have a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Kansas City does have scheduling chaos, however, as they will have a short week versus the 9-5 Texans, and then four days to prepare to play the 10-3 Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.

With Mahomes’ status uncertain, the Chiefs could turn to backup Carson Wentz to start in Week 16.

He replaced the injured Mahomes during last weekend’s game and completed all of his two completion attempts for 20 yards.
