Had a load of cocktails and came home and bought concert tickets last night I previously decided were too expensive 🤣

What drunk shopping you done??

So many concert tickets during the life.

But my recent purchase (last night!)was a potato ricer. Not sure why I decided I needed mash on a sunny day 🙈

My friend came round once and we had too much to drink. A week later two Race for Life T-shirts arrived in the post. Apparently I'd signed us both up.

Ha ha ha that remind me I signed up for the great south run while drunk!

I bought a £950 painting under the influence of a few glasses of wine!

Me and my DH who was my bf at the time were out day drinking on a Friday afternoon laughing about some girl who was in the paper who got drunk and caught a flight to Paris and was now stranded. Next thing we know we were in a flight to Paris. Stayed for three days went to Disneyland and had to fake call in sick on Monday because we hadn't got back yet.

This is fabulous!

Cocktails and concert both sound like wise investments.

A friend bought Ann Summers shit at what she thought was a house party but was a sneaky Ann Summers event and she had drunk A LOT. Her bounty was delivered to the shared house of bookish strangers she'd just moved into (she'd just started a Masters) and as she couldn't remember ordering anything she was excited about her unexpected present and merrily opened it in front of them all. It was just pants but in Ann Summers packaging and back in 2002 when, I feel, people were more prudish and certainly we were younger and much more easily embarrassed.

lime green sequin-covered sparkly shoes after a boozy lunch years ago. They were garish and a bit tacky and they made me happy every time I looked at them.

I booked an expensive holiday. No regrets.

EveryOtherNameTaken · 02/06/2024 15:25

Placemarking. These are great!

Thankfully nothing worse than a kebab, that I didn't actually eat and woke up with it on the pillow next to me. No idea why I bought the kebab home, I don't generally eat meat.

Friend and I drunk-booked flights to Milan (and hotel) and immediately forgot until we got the "time to check in for your flight" email months later. Neither of us could go due to work commitments 🤣🤦‍♀️

I went to an “artisan” market a few weeks ago and bought a hair clip. £15. I googled to see if the “maker” had other similar ones only to find it on AliExpress for £1.40

so last night after wine I ordered every permutation of it and now I’ve got 14 slightly gaudy hairclips in transit.

Years ago (about 18 I think) I bought an unnecessary amount of lock and lock food storage containers off QVC after a few drinks. I'm still using them. Drunk me clearly had an eye for durability.

I bought a Nissan Figaro off EBAY It was £12k I couldn't afford, luckily they let me off. I also bought a bed for 3k which was EXTRAVAGANT but it was a decade ago and we still have it.

Holy shit. Just how much did you have to drink to buy a fucking car!? 😂

Absolutely! Drunk me picked some absolute bangers. Amnesia, The Nightmare Hall Series, Teacher's Pet... High quality stuff.

I bought a campervan off ebay after a night on the baileys.

7 years later she's still going strong!

I bought a bouncy castle, gladiator duel podium things with the sticks and a sumo wrestling ring with 2 sumo suits last year when we had had friends over for a barbecue. We had a bouncy castle and the guy we usually use for bouncy castles told us he was moving abroad and wouldn't be available anymore.

He said he was selling up and that it would be cheaper to buy his bouncy castle rather than book with a new person the amount we used him as a joke. And then after he stayed with us for a drink we'd worked out a deal to get them all for £500. He had zorb football things too but we didn't get them which we actually regretted! We just get things out over the summer and even in the winter in dry days when you're stuck in. We could rent them out but haven't got that far yet!

I bought a really expensive antique that I'd had my eye on for ages. Woke up the next morning utterly horrified at the spend, but no real regrets. It's beautiful. Pointless, but beautiful. 😂
Also got nostalgic one night and bought a load of Point Horror books on Amazon.

🤣 point horror books rule😆

Peanut butter flavoured dog biscuits.

I ordered a memory foam mattress topper off Amazon once when I was drunk. Sober me was quite impressed with drunk me.

Inextremis · 02/06/2024 14:48

10kg of chicken breasts. Which is a lot of chicken breasts (38 to be precise).

Aussiegold · 02/06/2024 14:42

Bought a gold ring off Ebay for a tenner, completely forgot about it until it turned up. Got it valued at 200 quid so drunk me must have seen something no one else did!

Goldiedoodling · 02/06/2024 14:35

Art from an “affordable” art fair run by a neighbour, after one too many Aperol spritz. Could have brought lots of needed bits and peaces for the wee ones instead, so they had to go back the next day! Very embarrassing.
