Cheeky Spice Girls note from 1997 found under wallpaper of woman's new home

When it comes to renovating your home, the most essential part to a smooth and pristine finish is the preparation work. And it was during this process that one homeowner found an amusing note from 1997 hidden under their wallpaper - and it left them in fits of laughter, the Mirror reports.

Concealed under the wallpaper, the comical note stated that the writer would ''eat their overalls'' if the Spice Girls were still popular with chart-topping records by the time the wallpaper was removed. The cheeky note reads: "It's the 5th October 1997. If the Spice Girls are still popular next time this room is decorated, I'll eat my overalls. By Dad."

An image of the note was uploaded to Reddit by user AnheB1818 and has gone viral after receiving more than 33,000 and about 1,400 comments. While the majority of users found the dad's note funny, others commenting on the post revealed the secret messages they have found in their own homes.
