Mine was a posh sticky toffee pudding from Ocado £5.
Don't remember putting in on my order but oh my god it was the best dessert I've ever had and I reluctantly shared it with ds and dh.

Yours?

After my works Christmas party I drunkenly ordered Jaffa cakes, 6 bottles of champagne and some erasable biros.

I genuinely totally forgot until the Amazon delivery arrived. Drunk me had thought of everything!

I agreed to run science sessions at DDs preschool.
It was great fun.

About 7 years ago...Easyjet tickets to ?Amsterdam, super cheap, forgot all about them for a few days and then realised I was going the next day...panic...pack and enjoyed it!...I also used to book those 1p Ryanair flights to unknown places, sometimes went, sometimes didn't....dont drink anymore now .

Went to Poland with a friend. We got talking to a few men who'd booked flights whilst drunk

A chihuahua.

In my defence, before all the dog lovers jump on me, she was from a decent breeder. DD1 added herself to a waiting list 18 months prior to asking me.

When she got a message from the breeder to tell her a buyer from her litter had dropped out and DD was top of the reserve list she got me drunk and promised me I could buy it a tiny sombrero if I bought her a chihuahua puppy.

A treadmill. I'd wanted one for a while but didn't know if I'd use it. It's a nordictrack folding one and I adore it, and use it most days.

I hope my food delivery orders don't count- but if they do, ordering a papa johns with all the sides and desserts to arrive when I got home from a work do was really really rewarding

@XenoBitch
Where was yours from?? I did this last night after a wine, and was so not impressed, it was from Morrisons daily near me, I got 2 x couscous , 2 sliced meats and a fresh stir fry thing. My best one has been from pound bakery so far.

Also, drunk me gets awful generous with whatever ridiculous things the kids want from from JD (for the 15yo,) and shein (for the 11yo). My son honestly knows, he once checked how far down the wine bottle I was before he asked me for something 🤣🤣

Pink Hannah Montana hair curlers. I am childfree.

A wedding dress of eBay. I was getting married but it was awful and ended up in the charity shop.

eBay again another drunken night - pair of Louboutins but thankfully purchase was cancelled due to them being counterfeit. Phew!!!

CleaningOutMyCloset · 10/03/2023 14:53

A lamp from China that looks like an angler fish (really ugly) never bloody turned up - I got well and truely ripped off Grin

I know it's only 3pm in the afternoon but I'm about to go full 18+ on this comment.

A sex toy, I'd been stood up on a date, got a bit tipsy and yeah stumbled across this sex toy.

Best investment ever 🤣

Who needs men, once you've got a child, your own house and a stable income. 🤣

FelicityBeedle · 10/03/2023 15:20

@ItWillWash
did you buy it the tiny sombrero?

Florin · 10/03/2023 15:28

Puppy, the breeder we got our first dog from had another litter from the same Mum and Dad and sent us a picture of the puppies and husband persuaded me to get another, he is the most awesome dog.

Quite a few drinks for my birthday and we bid for a Land Rover defender on eBay and won it, sadly it got stolen a few months later but was fun while we had it.

No. She won't wear things on her head 😡

FelicityBeedle · 10/03/2023 15:31

@ItWillWash
You need another one then! If you keep trying you’ll get one which appreciates stylish headgear

I knew someone who woke up after a heavy night to find he owned a ruin in France and a stuff owl in a glass dome!

RubiesandRose · 10/03/2023 15:34

Elton John tickets! 5 years ago and finally get to go in a few months. I would never have paid what I did sober, so very pleased I took the drunken fuck it plunge!

I'm guessing this was a cartmel pudding?? They're epic we have one as a treat every now and then!

A beautiful ankle chain for just over £100, I love it!

thebear1 · 10/03/2023 18:11

Champagne. I was a poor student at the time and living in my overdraft but it was a great night.

PauliesWalnuts · 10/03/2023 18:13

Not online but after a very boozy after works drinks when I lived in London I called in at what was then the Somerfields at the petrol station by Kilburn tube station. Can’t remember doing it but I woke up massively hungover the next morning to a bag in the kitchen containing a pint of milk, a large bar of Dairy Milk, a four cheese pizza, and a copy of Zest, the magazine for healthy living women.

Helicopter lessons.

A 10 foot paddling pool. Was very suprised to wake up to a text from Argos to say it was ready to collect.

After the Brexit referendum results came in I got drunk (alone at home) and joined the Lib Dems.

This was not the most rewarding purchase I’ve ever made whilst drunk but it’s a funny anecdote, to me anyway. (I didn’t renew my membership.)
