What's been your weirdest purchase lately?

As the title suggests... let's hear about your random midnight online purchases. I think my most unnecessary (perhaps not weird) purchase has been one of those pancake batter dispensers, simply because I was fed up of what a mess we made on the ONE Sunday in forever that we made pancakes.

Is there a link for the boob light, please?

Something I saw on FB Blush It's a plastic rod thing, with Velcro on the end, which you put down your bath/shower plughole, to catch and pull out the hair.

Astronaut Food! Not because I fear there will be more supermarket shortages but because I work in a school which has been open throughout and the topic next term is space 😀

Pinkarsedfly - the boob light was from Amazon. Although they rather boringly call it a book light Grin here

Ooh @lazylinguist that looks fab for camping - I think I need to order a boob light

lazylinguist · 23/05/2020 10:57

Excellent! I am now imagining lots of MNers wandering around with lit-up boobs.

Ohhgreat · 23/05/2020 11:04

Yep I've just bought a boob light too!

totallyyesno · 23/05/2020 11:10

@Dieu Have you tried it yet? The first time I used it the velcro fell off and got stuck down the pipe.

Would like a link to German Yahtzee!

A harmonica for a 2 year olds birthday. My own 2 year old Confused

I don't know what came over me.

Somanysocks · 23/05/2020 11:52

Three random sized pieces of perspex.

Oh dear God. I now have two hideous seals. I'd originally ordered one months ago from some slightly dodgy company in China (Instagram ad impulse buy) for DS's birthday, but it never came and they gave me my money back after about eight weeks. I ordered Blubbington from Amazon instead. The one from China has just turned up and it is ten times worse!! It's different colours on each side and it looks as if it's having a stroke rather than a migraine. I've left the two of them staring at DS until he wakes up to freak him out! Grin

One of these on Amazon
Probably shite but I'll give it a go

lazylinguist · 23/05/2020 15:55

Churros machine Shock. Want one.

Glitterb · 23/05/2020 15:58

I ordered a rubber pet/fluff hair remover for your carpet from ebay, bloody brilliant and my carpet looks new again!

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 23/05/2020 16:14

2 gaming headsets so my 2 children can play fortnite against each other in different Xboxes in different rooms without telling across the house.
Before lockdown they weren't even allowed footnote but hey ho they're bonding by killing things online!

midnightstar66 · 23/05/2020 16:22

I've just ordered a remote control rat for my terrier pup

Tara336 · 23/05/2020 16:28

@RubaiyatOfAnyone just dropping in to say I’m hugely jealous of your dolls house renovation! I would love to do that or just own one, may have to give up hinting to DP I want one and treat myself

ForestYeti · 23/05/2020 16:39

A mini picnic table to nail to the fence for the birds to eat at

myhandsareverycold · 23/05/2020 18:11

@lazylinguist

I have a boob light. Love it. Bought more for my children too.

Topsy44 · 23/05/2020 18:29

I now want an electric weed burner!!

Timeforatincture · 23/05/2020 18:38

Some fluorescent green hair dye.

Haven't plucked up the courage yet......

RubaiyatOfAnyone · 24/05/2020 05:19

@Tara336 do it! I got mine a couple of years ago and am having as much fun as my 7 year old self always thought a giant dolls house would be. Although the sheer amount of tiny curiosities available on etsy and ebay can be very bad for my bank balance...

@Summer776 Can i ask which weed burner you got? I was just eying up gas ones but electric sounds much better.
