I live in a shipping container in my bosses' back yard

A WOMAN has revealed she's living in a shipping container in her bosses' back

A WOMAN has revealed she's living in a shipping container in her bosses' back yard - and she loves it.

Nanny Koko Sierra shared a TikTok video revealing the parents of the kids she looks after bought the unconventional space and turned it into a cosy room.

In just a few months, Koko's boss kitted out the room - even fitting it with heating and air conditioning.

The film showed Koko moving in when the unit was finally ready to live in.

She said she that she "loved it" and was "forever grateful."

But many TikTok users pointed out a key missing feature.

One said: "They put you in a metal box with no bathroom or running water.

"That sounds terrible, especially in the middle of the night or if you get sick."

Another said "no toilet no way."

However some users thought that conversion was a kind and considerate gesture.

As costs continue to rise, tenants have often found unusual ways to improve their homes without breaking the bank.

One mum posted a video showing her building her own fence to add some privacy to her council house.

She bought the wood from a yard and the sawed it down to the right size to make the garden fence.

Another mum managed to transform her back garden without handing out thousands of pounds to a landscape gardener.

The mum bought the plants on Facebook and used a plastic box from her car to create a pond.
