Why have I ordered these?!

Last night I had a drink for the first time this year.

I've woken up to discover I've ordered a pair of white cotton gloves. Why?! Why have I ordered these?!

Jewell heist?

Drunk ordering is the best! I once drunk bought a trip to Mexico Shock

To rearrange snooker balls?

Because you have dry skin or get irritations when you dust? Put on hand cream then white gloves before bed like some Insta Princess.

I was going to say to wear over moisturiser at night

but Jewel Heist sounds much better - do that!

I bought two beanie hats and a bed table last night.

You are doing a magic show with DC later today.

Did you fancy yourself as snooty guest, checking for dust above door frames?

God I so hope I'm planning a jewel heist!

I can't find any evidence of having ordered a snooker table or a holiday.

I'd be very surprised if I bought them for dusting purposes. Hand moisturising could be a possibility.

Do you remember buying them? Do you like them? I need a new bedside table!

For changing halogen lightbulbs?

gobbynorthernbird · 20/02/2021 10:50

Did you also order glowsticks and a whistle?

I didn't know you were supposed to wear gloves to do that.

I once bought a vintage, handmade three piece suit while trollied tipsy. Completely oblivious until it turned up at the door Grin

Oh I do love a drink shopping thread. Last thing I bought was a very expensive handbag. When it arrived I didn't even like it unfortunately. No idea why I picked it.

Check your internet search history.

It will either be
-how to treat dry hands
-big break memorabilia
-how to get a diamond when you have little money
-easy circus acts on a budget

I woke up one morning to discover I'd ordered not only an extending ladder but a stepladder too . No idea why.

Champagneforeveryone · 20/02/2021 11:14

brandytrap It was apparently made by an elderly Greek tailor for himself. He was clearly not a robust chap and the suit genuinely fitted me (at 5'3") as if it was made to measure.

I wore it to give DM away when she remarried Grin
