A woman was left in hysterics after finding a note written by previous tenants when stripping wallpaper.
The short note, which included foul language, was written on the wall under 1990s wallpaper.
It detailed how many rolls she would need to redecorate the room, after previous owner Jon was left "'p***ed off" when he realised that he didn't have enough.

It reads: "If you ever need to wallpaper this room again, it will take eight rolls of wallpaper. I bought just six rolls at £17 (€19) per roll on 5/12/97 and I didn't have enough. It really p***ed me off. Jon 21/12/97."
A picture of the note been shared on Reddit by user Brilliantas and has since racked in more than 66,000 upvotes and about 700 comments, Mirror UK reports.
While most users couldn't help but laugh at Jon's mistake, others asked the hilarious question "what kind of man puts up wallpaper four days before Christmas ".
One user said: "Maybe his girlfriend or boyfriend was the type to make poor Jon slave away redecorating just four days before Christmas when he should have been drinking beer."
Another user added: "Hoping for two more rolls from Father Christmas?"
A third user said: "Someone who needs to prove that their life is together before the judgmental hoard of Christmas visitors arrive?"
Others took the opportunity to share the notes they have left for future homeowners, with some more questionable than others.
One user said: "I still plan to paint a big moustache next time I redecorate, so in the far future when we strip the walls to decorate again, I can turn to my wife and say 'you found my secret stash'."
Another user added: "When I was like 17 we redid the flooring in my room, I wrote 'free your mind your ass will follow' on the slab.
"An elderly couple bought the place, I like to believe they went to put some carpet in to keep their feet warm, but ended up living their best life listening to the chili peppers."
One more user said: "Somewhere under the wall paper in my parents' hallway is 'this will be finished by Christmas' written in my dad's handwriting. Written underneath that by my mum is 'what year?'."
