A Bromley mum was shocked when she arrived home from a family day out to a rude missed delivery note.

Kim Thursfield, a performing arts teacher, had ordered some nappies online but had gone out for the day with her husband Matthew and daughter Alana.

When she got back a Hermes courier had delivered her parcel to a neighbour's house, and left her a rude note.

The note said: "Left at [house number] 22. Maybe you should stop ordering online as you are never there."

Mrs Thursfield said: "I was not expecting that. 

"Yesterday we had been out because my husband works in education and it was his first day of the summer holidays.

"I don't think it is any of the delivery driver's business, I shop online all the time, everything is done online, especially when you're on the go."

Mrs Thursfield wrote a blog post about the incident.

She wrote: "I’m not lazy, in fact quite the opposite! I am a self employed mum of a toddler, when I’m not working I’m at toddler playgroups singing Nursery rhymes and drinking endless cups of tea!

"I do not have time to go to the shops plus my daughter hates it!"

Mrs Thursfield added: "My neighbours are friendly, they will take my parcels and I take theirs so I do not understand what the issue was for you to write this note, how did you taking my box of nappies to the woman next door really bother you?"

A spokesman for Hermes said: "The remarks left on the card are clearly unacceptable and we would like to apologise to Mrs Thursfield for any upset and inconvenience this may have caused.

"As a result the courier involved has had his round suspended pending a full investigation."
