'Shocked' mum finds two goats in garden shed - after cheeky daughter secretly bought them online

A mum was left in 'total shock' after her 12-year-old daughter secretly bought two goats online - now they live in her garden shed.

A mum was left in 'total shock' after her 12-year-old daughter secretly bought two goats online - now they live in her garden shed. Kirsty Mulholland thought daughter Bonnie was making her a present when she asked her not to look outside on April 11.

But later that night footage shows the 33-year-old in 'total shock' as she's led to the garden shed for Bonnie to reveal the gifts are two baby goats. Kirsty says 'are you joking?' before heading inside to quiz her on how she plans to look after the four-week-old animals. Bonnie tells her 'I've got everything sorted' as she stands on the stairs in shock.

It's believed Bonnie had bought the goats off the internet from a farm in Wales and had them delivered to her home but Kirsty doesn't know how much they cost. The mum-of-two says she told Bonnie that goats are 'really cute' around a week before her surprise so thinks that's when she 'got down to business' and arranged the surprise.

She claims that she is planning on keeping Marlon and Pebble but admits they are 'wrecking' her garden. Kirsty, from Manchester, said: "I was just in total shock and I just burst out laughing to be honest.

"She asked me not to look out the window because she was doing crafts and apparently it was a surprise for me so I've not looked out the window. She said she was making me something really really cool and it was a late Easter present so I didn't think it would be any live animal.

"I'd say she's only planned it for a week because the week before I said goats were really cute so she's literally got to business and got it sorted. She was sorting out a bed for the goats and then she ordered them and had them dropped off at my house in the evening. It was like 9pm so she told me she had a surprise for me in the garden. I went round and there were goats in the shed."

Despite surprising her mum, Kirsty was impressed by how well Bonnie had planned buying the goats. She explains that bottle feeding them is time consuming at the moment and that they're very messy.

Kirsty said: "She had everything. She had all the bottles, the milk, all the hay, she had even put hooks up all around my shed to hang up the hay, I could not believe my eyes. From what I'm gathering she's got the farm to bring them or she's got someone else to bring them who she knows.

“I just can't get any sort of information about it because she's really worried that I will take them back. I'm not going to take them back, I'm just going to keep them while we can.

"She must've done so much research on them because every time I asked a question about what we're supposed to do she knew the answer to it straight away. I know they're from a farm in Wales and that's as far as I got because she deleted everything so I've just seen the farm she chose.

"They're bottle fed at the minute so they're a bit time consuming to look after. I do think they're cute but I would only recommend them if you've got the time because we're away a lot. They're only four weeks old.

"They're very messy, they drag everything out so they keep wrecking my garden. I was literally in total shock about how she managed to speak to the lady herself who owned the farm and actually sort it all herself, she's quite like that Bonnie though. Very independent. It's impressive."

The video clips have more than 300,000 likes and more than 3,000 comments. One commented: "She has made me realise I didn't use my youth to my full potential."

Another added: "I think that girl is going places. My kid can't even find his charger." A third commented: "A youngster capable of researching, organising and executing such a plan is going to go far in life. I absolutely love this. Go on girl."
