A Mumsnet user shared that she accidentally used the incorrect delivery address for a recent online shopping order The woman claimed the workout clothes she bought got delivered to her old address, according to a delivery photo She confronted the new homeowner at the address, who denied receiving the packageA little retail therapy turned into a big headache for one shopper. Taking to the community forum Mumsnet, one woman explained that she ordered workout clothes from an online store but 'stupidly' set her delivery location to her old address. Once the package was delivered, she went to pick it up and had a confrontation with the new homeowner. 'Yes, I know it's annoying and stupid, so I don't need that lecture,' she admitted of her delivery mishap. 'Once I clocked what had happened, I went over to collect it a couple of days later.' 'The woman who bought the house off me completely denies having received it, despite the courier's photo showing it being accepted at the front door,' she continued. 'I can see two sets of children's feet at the door, and I recognize the doorstep since I lived there for nearly 20 years.' The woman then detailed how she approached the homeowner. 'I did not shout or accuse, I was very polite, I said I was 'puzzled' and that there must have been some sort of confusion, but she was adamant she hadn't had it,' the shopper said. 'It was a shoebox-sized parcel so not massive to store and not easy to lose either.' 'Do you clever lot have any idea if there's anything I can do?' she asked the forum, before jokingly quipping, 'I half expected her to come to the door wearing my gym gear.'

‘Most cluttered home' hits market after major reno
Britain's most cluttered home has hit the market for £300,000 ($A627,000) after receiving a major makeover. Previous occupants had left it a mess both on the inside and out, The Sun reports. Some rooms were not even possible to access as debris piled on the floors and furniture. The house has now undergone a major transformation becoming a stunning family home, with three vibrant bedrooms and a modern kitchen. The property was auctioned off in November 2021, where the bidding started at £110,000 ($A230,000). Despite the rubbish that had accumulated throughout the property, it received offers in £5,000 ($A10,400) increments from buyers. A proxy bid finally brought the auction to £145,000 ($A303,000). Following its makeover, the property is back on the market for just over double the price. The current owner has turned the home into an ample living space with a large corner garden. There is also a large loft area above bedrooms two and three, which could be converted into a further two rooms with the necessary planning permissions. As the property description states: 'Upon entering, you are greeted by a bright and airy open-plan lounge/diner, perfect for entertaining or relaxing with the family. 'The newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room is a true highlight, boasting contemporary units and ample space for culinary creations.' The property has also been given a new roof, plumbing, gas central heating and a complete rewiring. On top of that, doors and architraves, skirting and some floors have been sanded back to their original wood. It is due to go on the market via Purplebricks after once being dubbed 'Britain's most cluttered house'.

I'm fed up with my hoarder neighbour – she has sheds full of junk, is constantly trespassing & is totally unapproachable
IF you think your neighbours are bad, you've come to the right place and will need to think again. Whilst most neighbours will argue about broken fences or stolen parking spaces, this homeowner has criticised her 'hoarder' next-door-neighbour for having 'yard sales' by her pad. 3 3 3 Posting on social media, an anonymous woman has complained about her nightmare neighbour who not only constantly trespasses, but is totally 'unapproachable' too. Writing on Reddit on the r/BadNeighbors thread, a woman who writes under the username @Prudent-Ad7028, revealed all about her 'trashy' neighbours. She explained that she and her husband bought their house a year ago and have recently been left fuming with their renter neighbours. She highlighted: 'Our neighbours are renters and I'm also about 90% sure that the wife is a hoarder. 'They're our next door neighbours and the side of our house is regularly used as a lean-to for their junk. 'I've also recently seen her and her two teenage sons sitting right next to our house and our windows.' Not only this, but the woman also shared: 'She had two sheds, one in her driveway and one right behind her house, both of which are filled to the brim with junk - to the point that there's no way her yard is this filthy and the inside of their house isn't. 'This woman and her sons spend all day every day lugging s**t in and out of those sheds and setting up 'yard sale' tables along the side of our house.' Clearly fuming with the mess, the woman continued: 'I'm at my wits end, but she's completely unapproachable and any time I try to speak with her politely she ignores me. 'We also don't want to be on bad terms with the people we have to live right next door to, even though I feel they are deliberately trespassing and disrespecting our property line. Listen to the noise-hell neighbour I live with. Whose blaring TV makes my flat SHAKE 'When we bought the house we were told that our property line ends at their driveway, but I haven't gotten any paperwork proving that yet.' Unsure on how to proceed, the woman then added: 'Yesterday another neighbour gave me their landlord's number and told me to tell him about it, but I'm honestly worried it'll make things worse. 'I'm kind of mostly venting, but also looking for advice.' The Top Five Reasons Neighbours Squabble One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue Broken fences - top of the board was broken fences and whose responsibility it was to fix it Parking: one of the leading drivers of neighbour disputes, with 54.1 per cent of people having issues with people parking in front of their house, parking bay or driveway Trees - complaints about a neighbour's tree cracking your garden path was also common with nearly half of participants finding it frustrating Bin wars - outdoor bin etiquette continues to ignite the most furious debates between neighbours Nosy Neighbours - some people have their eyes and ears at the ready to have a peek causing problems for others Reddit users react Reddit users were left gobsmacked by the user's neighbour and many eagerly raced to the comments to share their advice. One person said: 'I would get a survey done and put up a fence.' Another advised: 'Call the fire marshal, that is a fire hazard and they won't play around with that s**t. Especially if you tell them you're worried if their trash pile catches fire then your house will too. 'Also report them to your town's code compliance and your county health and human services.' Whilst a third recommended: 'Call your city Code Enforcement and complain about the trash, the sheds, the encroachment on your property and the endless yard sales. 'If it's a decently run department, they can be pretty effective. I've seen neighbours call on other neighbours here, and it worked really well.'
