Fuck...I’m a Tit

Having a nice break in a hotel in Elgin. In my room with the tea and coffee is a lovely little coffee biscuit. Googled the brand, went online to order 20 ( some for mum and home ) to be delivered to my house. Got the dispatch notification just now. I’ve bought 200. 200 biscuits. I did wonder why it cost 30 quid...🤦🏻‍♀️ Anybody want a biscuit?

I could get through 200 biscuits In a day ffs what's my problem

Smeeeeeee · 20/01/2019 08:23

What I want to know is which hotel? Randomly I've been looking for somewhere nice to stay in Elgin!

That exactly what I thought 200 biscuits wouldn't last a week.
I've already eaten 4 and I'm not out of bed yet.

I'd bring half to my local hospital for the staff, and possibly some to the school too.

They keep, but I'd be really bored to have to eat the same biscuits! I'd rather buy a hundred of something else to have a bit of variety Grin

You can also repackage and use some as a gift when you are going for a cup a tea at friends or neighbours.

Best thread to wake up to. Love your purchases!

topcat2014 · 20/01/2019 08:32

@daisychain01 - bikkies or biccies - that is the important question!

Heaviestdirtyestsoul · 20/01/2019 08:38

I'm laughing so hard that you drunkenly purchased a kazoo 🤣 I once drunk purchased 6 x 1litre bottles of dettol 3 x garlic presses and screwball scramble balls. Not even the game- just a set of spare balls. I do not own screwball scramble!- I still have no idea why and was rather surprised by their arrival 2 mornings later.

Racecardriver · 20/01/2019 08:46

I’m confused. Did you buy too many or not enough? 200 isn’t that much surely?

whatnametouse · 20/01/2019 08:47

😂

Love the kazoo and 200 biscuits - I now want a biscuit and have none in 🤬

You are not alone - my Amazon account is always getting hit once I have had a few

Aridane · 20/01/2019 08:47

On a more mundane level, can you cancel the order?

brizzledrizzle · 20/01/2019 08:50

Op, that really does take the biscuit.

It’s been dispatched. It seems not only have I bought a huge amount of biscuits I have been ripped off! I’d cancel eBay if it was practical, but I get the fuel for my biofuel fire from there. Screwball scramble sells spare balls? I’m amazed at that and find that quite sensible! The wee balls used to go missing, didn’t they? Everywhere in Elgin is nice btw, PP.

It's lovely that screwball scramble sells spare balls, but I'm buggered if I knew what I was going to do with them- as i didnt have screwball scramble- you need to start a thread about drunken online purchases- there must be worse than a kazoo, although I can't think of much 😂

onalongsabbatical · 20/01/2019 09:03

Op, you've given me a great laugh. Thanks I was feeling like shit and having an argument with my DP about what kind of fucking sink unit we're buying. Have a

and a Brew on me!

All individually wrapped in plastic I presume? Very wasteful!

Claredogmum · 20/01/2019 09:48

This post really made me laugh, three garlic presses. Brilliant.

MrsDoylesPumpkinSpiceLatte · 20/01/2019 10:49

200 biscuits and a kazoo SmileSmileSmile
This thread is hilarious, thanks OP

Moondancer73 · 20/01/2019 12:05

Ha ha, 200 wouldn't last long in my house with two hungry boys and my other half.

If it makes you feel any better I bought what I thought was a tub of hot chocolate powder at Christmas for my other half - speciality Dutch hot chocolate powder - but on arrival it was just a can of chocolate milk. I was gutted because it cost almost £6!

Fabellini · 20/01/2019 12:11

Elgin in Morayshire @Freddyfasbear? Everywhere is not nice! Ignore her @Smeeeeeee, I think she’s still drunk Grin

mnahmnah · 20/01/2019 12:11

£30 and 200 biscuits sounds like a great night in 😁

Claredogmum · 20/01/2019 12:15

I remember years ago looking online for 'Prisoner Cell Block H' after having a few wines. There was a guy on eBay selling all the series on DVD. I paid my £30 and waited for them to be delivered(excited, the show is a classic). When they arrived it was 50 DVD's that he'd recorded off channel 5. Adverts and everything. Gutted.

You've been ripped off, but I really don't think 200 biscuits is that many!

MorningsEleven · 20/01/2019 12:52

You had a drink with dinner and ordered 200 biscuits and a kazoo? Was it a pint of meths?

I thought until I was 30 something that the Elgin Marbles were round marbles that ancient Greek children played with ☺

DustyMaiden · 20/01/2019 12:55

I could loan you DH, couple of mugs of coffee and they’d be gone.
