A mum from Leeds has left locals in stitches after accidentally listing her baby for sale on Facebook for £1.
Lucy Battle actually meant to list her sofa for sale, but instead uploaded a picture of her seven-month-old baby Oscar to Facebook Marketplace with the caption 'need gone today'.
People from all over Leeds flooded into the comment section to say that the post had 'made their day' and had a good chuckle at her error.
The mum had recently bought a new sofa and was looking to get rid of her old one in a speedy fashion to make room for the new arrival.
However, she unintentionally made a photograph of her son the feature image on the listing - and didn't even realise, that is until people started messaging her in response to the listing with jokes about buying him.
At that point, she realised she couldn't delete the picture either - leaving her absolutely flooded with comments and messages, as over 100 people piled onto the bottom of the post.
Tom Howell joked: "What's he like with other babies?"
Mandy Lyles wrote: "Can I swap for a teenager?"
Sarah Wilkinson commented: "How's he at washing up?"
She told Leeds Live: "I just somehow managed to upload the wrong photo when I was choosing them from my camera roll and unfortunately it was of Oscar!
"I realised when everyone started commenting and messaging me and then I couldn't delete it either.
"It worked out though because one of the messages was someone actually enquiring about the sofa! But most of them were people making jokes about me giving away my son.
"I didn't expect it to go so far!"
Ultimately, she replied to clarify her error and even managed to sell her sofa so it was a win-win.
"Thanks all for being nice though and understanding this was a genuine mistake," she wrote.
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

This architectural conversion has taken five years to complete and there's been no expense spared, the pulpit and pews have even been kept to really keep that churchy vibe.
Here's what the listing says: "Welcome to The Old Methodist Church, originally built in 1846 and beautifully transformed over the past five years into a truly exceptional home.
"This remarkable conversion seamlessly blends contemporary living with the building’s historic charm, creating a residence that is both striking and deeply characterful.

"Every detail has been tastefully and skilfully executed, carefully preserving original features while introducing modern design and comfort. The stained glass windows, original pulpit and pews remain as stunning focal points — a real marvel and a tribute to the building’s heritage."
