Living in a block of flats often means you have to compromise on outdoor living space - so you can imagine one mum's joy when she found a ground-floor flat with its own driveway.
But her dream soon turned into a nightmare when her neighbours started parking on it.
While the woman does not drive, she needs access to her driveway for a number of reasons.
And she has been left "unhappy" and frustrated by the nuisance, which prevents sunlight reaching her flat.
However, the solution might not be as simple as it sounds, as the mum doesn't know if she should put her foot down, given the spot is used by another family.

Taking to Mumsnet to explain the tricky situation, she said her property has no garden but there is a driveway for her individual flat.
The post reads: "A few months ago a family moved into the flat above me and have taken to parking their big people carrier on my drive. They didn't ask my permission, just assumed they were entitled to because I don't have a car.
"My frustration is when their car is there I can't put my washing out, it also blocks alot of the sun. They park it diagonally aswell which is a PITA for me getting my pram in and out.
"They are out there at the minute cleaning and hoovering the car about 3ft away from my doorstep so I can't sit out and enjoy the sun / a bit of peace and quiet."
She then implored fellow mums for advice, asking if it would be unreasonable for her to be "unhappy" about the situation, and if she should say anything.
And Mumsnet users were quick to take her side, with many blasting the woman's "cheeky" neighbours.
One person wrote: "Omg how cheeky of them! Do they know it’s your drive? Go round with the deeds and tell them to get off."
Another added: "If you can't talk to them put a note through the door saying they've unfortunately misunderstood and that the driveway is yours alone."
And a third suggested: "If you really don't use it for a car cement some planters on it."
