Have you made any drunken purchases? Lighthearted.

I woke up on Monday morning to find that whilst under the influence of alcohol I bought a Lonchamps bag off eBay. I bid for it and everything. Don't get me wrong it is nice and I didn't pay too much for it, but I don't really need it. I remember looking at it but don't remember the bidding and paying. Apparently it is arriving tomorrow.

I once went out for a very boozy lunch then we went window shopping in very expensive shops. My friend convinced me that I deserved a £500 Fendi bag.

Obviously I need to only have cash on me when I drink from now on but this got me thinking.

What drunken purchases have you made?

Luckily these are the only 2 gaffs I have made in my many years.

A friend has multiple copies of those power ballad CDs advertised in the early hours.

I woke up one new years day to a jet ski on my eBay watch list.... luckily I didn't buy it

[BanyanTree]

A jet ski LOL

In full sobriety I ordered two different fridge freezers in a shop and didn't realise till delivery a few months later. Now waiting for collection and refund for one of them.

My DH and kitchen designer didn't notice either, a three person failure. We realised yesterday when the kitchen fitter couldn't find space for both.

I bought bright orange silk embroidered slipper-shoes, that (weirdly) were in the sale at Liberty's. This was after 3 large glasses of wine. They were 200 down from 600 , I normally never spend more than 50 on shoes

I wore them straight away, so could not return them the next day

Kept them in my closet for 8 years, where I'd see them, reminding me not to drinkandshop, then ultimately charity shopped them.

Years ago I bought some expensive perfume on a whim after a boozy lunch near Harvey Nicks. I then left it on the train on the way home.

I bought a fab book about Dyslexia last week after a Saturday night bottle glass of wine, which I'm quite pleased about, as I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.


Do you see how much more boring I've got as time has passed?

[Lobsterquadrille2]

My house.

Luckily it worked out ok and I'm still in it 13.5 years later, and love it.

2kg of figs from waitrose to make fig jam. Still hurts.

I once bid £3000 for a caravan on ebay when I'd been drinking. Thank fuck someone outbid me at the last minute I was in a cold sweat

[LynetteScavo]

I've just remembered the vast amount of fabric ordered from the US...my credit card company even queried it, and I said of course. That was 11years ago and I still have it stashed in a cupboard. £300 worth.

I've tried eBay-ing it to no avail.

[shockofthepops]

My wedding dress 🤔.. luckily it all worked out ok though...

[Therealslimshady1]

How much did 2kg of figs in waitrose cost?! About £100??

A friend of mine -11 yoga balls for 99p each on eBay. He 'apparently' put the minimum bid on and let the auctions run, he'd bid on quite a few and won 11. They arrived over a number of weeks 😂😂

[malovitt]

A masive cactus plant.

I had to hire a van to collect it and then when I was at the sellers' house, which had really high ceilings, I realised how tall it was and that it would never fit in my sitting room. I said I would have to chop the top off and the sellers got really upset and said that I couldn't mutilate their baby (!) so refused to let me take it and gave me a refund.
Still had to pay for the van though.

My mother has purchased a holiday and a private car registration when under the influence. Didn't realise til the appropriate paperwork arrived in the post for both!

[KeiraTwiceKnightley]

I once bid what I thought was £6.92 for a DVD on eBay when pissed. Woke up to the knowledge that I could end up paying £692.00 for a 2nd hand copy of Pirates of the Caribbean. Thankfully eBays bidding process worked and I paid about a fiver.

It was a shit film too.

[Xoticdreamz]

A huge trampoline for my son. Numerous shoes and dresses that I don't need.

[Nettletheelf]

We know somebody who fell asleep drunk whilst looking at cars on eBay. His dog jumped up and managed to click 'buy it now' with its paws. Luckily it wasn't a very expensive car!

[dudsville]

I'm grateful I've never shopped whole under the influence as it frequently takes all my effort to stop myself as it is!

[Summer1986]

A yellow joules coat after too much gin on a caravan holiday, love it and still wear it.

[ChocolateCupcake123]

A £900 mattress that I'd never even sat on 🙈

[Grimmfebruary]

I once ordered a multitude of books, shoes and makeup whilst pissed... also conveniently managed to clear my order history from amazon so I just had to wait until the packages stopped arriving 😂

[DanHumphreyIsA]

A black mini dress with mesh side cut outs. I have never, ever worn or bought anything similar and never wore this dress.
I honestly don't know why.

[londonfeather]

Flights to Ibiza with a friend on a night out.

Tickets to see Taylor Swift in NYC with a friend - we live in London. And neither of us really loved T Swizzle.

Me & my friends seem to like drunk event planning... both have ended up as fab trips.
