Just found out what I ordered online on Saturday night

I had a rare night out with colleagues on Saturday (the first since before COVID), with 2-3 drinks involved. When I got home DH and I had a single drink together and chattered about a few things we needed to sort out. And apparently during this chat I ordered something online, which I had completely forgotten about until this morning when the email confirming the order arrived.

No prizes but much kudos to the person who guesses right/closest!

A people carrier or other practical vehicle with maybe four wheel drive and off road capability.

Surely you'd want to see/drive it first ? But I see ads all the time for sites to click buy a car.

Steam mop?

I've only done it once and it was a dress I wouldn't have looked at sober. It became my favourite party dress for a year or so Smile

Have you ordered a long handled dustpan and brush?

Steam cleaner

2catsandhappy · 20/09/2021 08:46

Hmmm. So the clues are, you are relaxed, a little wine, chatting with dh and it is something practical ordered online.
Wine making kit.

Its not really a 'fun' sort of purchase and shows how far I have fallen since the heights of the Scooby suit

More in the nature of a service rather than an item

You've booked a cleaner/gardener?

Fleshlight???
My favourite drunk purchase was a holiday in Rome. I can recommend! Grin
Was it a spider catcher? Practical AND fun!

A chimney sweep?
I did this the other night (through extreme sleep deprivation not alcohol). Turns out remote controlled spiders are an important thing at 4am.

Someone’s coming to clean your oven.

TheWayTheLightFalls · 20/09/2021 08:56

I did this recently. Two plugs for a yoga ball.

Madhairday · 20/09/2021 08:56

It's a toilet brush, isn't it OP?

MikeWozniaksMohawk · 20/09/2021 08:57

Have you booked someone to come and clean your oven?

CrazyCatStory · 20/09/2021 08:58

(I should add, my DP has form for this. I popped to the loo one evening after a night out, and returned to find he’d bid and “won” a camper van Shock )
