I’m a savvy mum and found a clever way to inflate the paddling pool & it takes just seconds
WITH the sun shining, children up and down the country will be eager to splash around in their paddling pools.
But as any parent will know, pumping up the inflatable can be quite the arduous task - especially when temperatures are soaring.
Well, that could soon be a problem of the past thanks to a genius solution shared by a savvy mum named Becky.
She took to money-saving Facebook group and shared a snap of herself using a hairdryer to blow up the pool in a matter of seconds.
Alongside the image, she penned: "More of a saving hack, but if you're like me and didn't buy a pump for the pool ring.
"Use the adaptor part that come with it and hairdryer, really works."
