A woman was left gobsmacked when she opened the pocket of a Vinted jacket and found something shocking inside. Vinted can be a treasure trove for fantastic bargains, with many brand new items for sale with tags, but there are tonnes of things which have been worn too that just need a new home and a new owner to love the item.
When Rachel, who posts on TikTok as @rachel_vintagemoonstone, purchased a jacket, she decided to check the pockets of it as it had been worn before – and she discovered her "most bizarre Vinted find ever" and found herself having to contact the seller.
"I have just found something in a Vinted parcel that I have never found before, and my mind is slightly blown," Rachel admitted.

She continued: "I don't quite understand how someone forgets that this particular thing is in this particular item."
Rachel held up the "super lovely jacket" which she bought "from Vinted," saying she was trying to get a bit of a winter wardrobe together.
But when she checked the pockets just to see whether everything was in order, she got a massive surprise.
Rachel explained she was going to put it in the wash, but then "literally found 50 quid" in cash, and held it up to the camera as proof.
"My mind was blown," she shared, but continued: "Obviously, I messaged the seller straightaway and said look, in the pocket of this jacket I found £50, which I think belongs to you, so I need to give that back to you.
"She messaged me back and was obviously astonished that I'd been honest because she'd been looking for it, and yeah, she got a little bit upset".
Rachel transferred the money to the woman, saying she is an "honest person" and wouldn't dream of keeping other people's things, asking her followers whether they would've done the same thing.
In the comments, someone wrote: "I received a Christmas card for the previous house owners & I just put it in the mail pile & 6 months later I was having a sort through & was about to rip it up & throw it in the bin but I thought I'd better open it first before I threw it away... it had 100€ in it...
"I felt terrible that someone was probably thinking that this was lost forever! I managed to contact the previous owner & she came to collect it... it was from her in-laws who couldn't remember what address they had sent the card to.
"She was so happy she bought me a bottle of wine! I'm too honest... my conscience won't allow me to be anything else!"
A sceptical woman penned: "Hypothetically speaking, imagine if it was fake money planted in the pockets and she does this to all her Vinted items."
Rachel responded: "They were definitely not fakes, thankfully. I spent the money on a Tesco shop today, so now they're in the system. The shop would have 100% told me if they were."
She replied: "Phhhhew, sorry if I sounded very sceptical. I've been scammed so many times myself. Thank you for being so honest. There needs to be more people like you in the world."

Huge container washes up on beach and Brits are floored at what's inside
Ines Rae recently shared a video of what she found on a beach, and people have been left floored. A huge container washed up and people are gobsmacked at what was inside Every now and then weird and wonderful things get washed up on beaches in the UK from amazing artefacts to pig heads. However, one recent find at an unnamed beach left Brits totally floored, as a huge container was spotted on the shore. Singer Ines Rae recently drew people's attention to the situation on TikTok as she shared a video of a new find, and it left her and her friends pretty gobsmacked. She admitted she "coudn't believe" what they found as they were strolling across a beach, and onlookers were left equally perplexed as it seemed so completely random. In the footage, viewers are shown a huge container that looks pretty heavy and full but, when they opened it up, they couldn't believe what was inside. It's the latest in a string of bizarre finds washed up at local beaches. In the footage, Ines is heard saying it made her "feel sick", as she couldn't believe how much food poured out of the container. Inside, she said she saw what could only be described as "noodles" that even featured some fresh tomatoes and other vegetables. She said: "I'm so confused right now. We've just found noodles on the beach. There's a whole cucumber. I don't know what to do with it." Ines admitted she thought the situation was "quite odd", but they couldn't help but laugh after finding it. Though the experience was surreal, many people were quick to chime in with their thoughts, and the clip has been viewed hundreds of times. One person said: "Me and dad went crabbing and found a whole onion." A second added: "I'm sorry, but that laugh has me dead." A third replied, joking: "Did you eat it?" Meanwhile, a fourth also added: "The forbidden pot noodle." Someone else thought they may have an explanation though, adding: "Discarded from a cargo ship. It is a common practice at sea. Usually poured out, someone dropped the whole thing." Little you may know, this explanation could be possible, as cargo ships are allowed to discharge certain food waste into the sea, but only under specific conditions and regulations, according to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Food waste is allowed to be discharged if it is ground or macerated into small particles and if the ship is at a great enough distance from land. Generally, the rule is 12 nautical miles, but this can vary, particularly in special areas or near ice shelves. According to reports, food should be processed, normally by grinding or macerating it into small particles that can pass through a screen with openings no bigger than 25mm. Naturally, in some areas, such as the Antarctic and Arctic, there are stricter regulations regarding the disposal of garbage, including food waste. There are all sorts of rules that should be followed. However, in this case, it's not clear what happened and the story remains a mystery. All the beachgoers know is there were a lot of noodles left on the beach. It just goes to show you never know what you're going to come across when you go for a relaxing beach walk. Sometimes the strangest things can turn up.

Love Island family feud as Dejon's brother hits out at Meg's sister in cruel rant
Love Island star Dejon Noel-Williams' brother, Isiah, shared his thoughts on Meg Moore's family in a recent video shared on his social media page Love Island star Dejon Noel-Williams' brother hit out at Meg Moore's sister in a rant shared on his 'debrief' on TikTok. Isiah has been sharing daily debriefs on social media and shares his thoughts on his brother's relationship with Meg, as well as the activities going on in the Spanish villa. In a recent TikTok, where he covered the family visit to the show, he shared his two pence on Meg's sister, Paige, and compared her to Miss Trunchbull from Matilda. He said: "I'm watching last night's episode and my brother has picked the wrong family. Meg's sister reminds me of Miss Trunchbull from Matilda with the way she moves, the way she talks. It's not it. "That family, let's be real, it's not about that. But Shakira, Toni and Yas' parents, they're amazing. They're sensational, what a trio. I like Cach's family, they're quite chill like him. You can see he's a good role model for his little brother. I like that family." He went on to to slam Helena, calling her a 'gremlin'. He explained: "Helena, she loves a young man. She needs to give it a rest, she's a gremlin. But Harry, that man, even after all the stuff he's done, he's a top striker." A few followers were shocked by his comments and questioned who he was even voting for. One said: "Are youuuu even voting for your brother at this point." One offended user commented: "I think Meg picked the wrong family, are you okay?", while one was amused by the video and added: "I'm screaming... The way you're sabotaging him," along with crying emojis. Some fans even took to social media to comment on his Matilda comparison, with one writing on X: "Dejon and Meg won't last anyways. Dejon's brother came on TikTok and called Megan's sister miss trunchbull." Although Meg's family had concerns over the relationship, Dejon's family were supportive. His mum, Demelza, even warned Meg about the other girls in the villa. She said: "I just want to say that these girls are not your friends." After her sister agreed, Meg said: "Yeah, I've seen it." Demelza appeared to then say: "Smiling assassins!" Later, as she was leaving the villa, Dejon's mum Demelza told all the Islanders to be mindful of what they say because everyone's families are watching back home. She told the Islanders: "Guys, just remember you've got loved ones outside." Demelza continued by saying that she felt that some people's behaviours and comments had already been "quite hurtful". She instead encouraged them to "just have fun" in the last week ahead of the upcoming final next Monday. Sharing her thoughts, Demelza said: "That's all I want to say and some of the things you're doing and saying is quite hurtful. So just be mindful that all of you have got loved ones watching. Take that into the last week and just have fun."

I'm a stay-at-home mum & begging strangers to pay for my husband to go on holiday with us, they paid his van off too
Read on to see how Katlyn gets strangers to help fund her holiday QUIDS IN I'm a stay-at-home mum & begging strangers to pay for my husband to go on holiday with us, they paid his van off too Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A STAY-AT-HOME mum has taken to social media to get strangers to fund her lifestyle. Katlyn is a mum-of-two and wife to a trucker who travels around the US to provide for his family. 3 The stay-at-home mum was begging strangers to fund her holiday Credit: tiktok/@brokemomsclub 3 Katlyn wanted to take her husband to Disney with the rest of the family Credit: Getty 3 Strangers also helped pay off his work van Credit: tiktok/@brokemomsclub But the savvy mum decided to create a secret TikTok account so that strangers can help pay off his truck and take him to Disneyland. Speaking on her account, Broke Mums Club, she revealed that her husband had never been on holiday, but was paying for Katlyn and the kids to go on a trip of a lifetime. She said: "I want to give my husband a week to be a dad and not just a provider. "As many of you know, we're going to Disney in March and he was sending me and the kids because the kids are ecstatic about Disney. "But he doesn't think that he's able to pull off taking a week off, missing out on money coming in, and enjoying a week of just pure vacation. So we're gonna do what TikTok does best." She asked her 123,000 followers to watch the full video and like, comment and share so that she could earn from the TikTok creator fund. In just nine days, the mum had raised over £1620, half of what she needed to pay for her husband's Disney ticket and spending money. Creators on TikTok can make money through TikTok's creator fund. TikTok bosses say: "The funds that each creator can earn are worked out by a combination of factors - including the number of views and the authenticity of those views, the level of engagement on the content, as well as making sure content is in line with our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. No two creators or videos are the same, and there is no limit to the different kinds of content we will support with the fund. I dreamed of being a doctor growing up… but now I make £5k a WEEK selling my toenail clippings and bed sheets to strangers "The Creator Fund total varies daily and is dependent on the amount of videos published by our community that day - so this will fluctuate based on the amount of content being published." Katlyn also revealed that the day before she began asking for funds to take her husband on holiday, her followers also helped pay off his work van. "My goal is to pay off his pickup truck so he could come home a few extra days a month to spend time with his family," she explained. "This is a reality for most of us stay-at-home mums because living in a one-income household isn't enough." She was able to raise £4,500 to pay off her husband's van and finally shared her secret savings with him. Katlyn said: "Yesterday we revealed to my husband that we made over six thousand dollars for him for his pickup truck. "He said that that was the best birthday present that he's ever gotten and, frankly, he's still in shock." The clip has since gone viral with over 3.7 million views on TikTok and many were quick to comment and help get the mum paid. One person wrote: "Here to support. I feel your situation. I love seeing these kind of videos." Another commented: "This is reality and for families to be able to afford to live and raise children." "I hope you get the money you need," penned a third.
