Just that really.

I know, I know, I shouldn't have mumsnet open when he can see it, and I shouldn't shop at amazon. But as it is I am doing and now there are like 2 bloody great ads full of ukuleles. Not very subtle. I'm going to have to stop mumsnetting aren't I...

Mind you, not as bad as the time I was looking through the lingerie section of M&S, I had pictures of lovely big granny pants for months. That made dh laugh.

DS saw an ad the other day for magic sets, and announced he knew what i'd bought him

Bloody amazon.

I'll have to have a look at the ad blocker settings then. It's not just Christmas shopping, it's anything you look at, I clicked on a link to a pair of shoes in S&B a few months ago, they were hideous (IMO) and followed me round for weeks afterwards.

Well I've turned off my Amazon browsing history. Does that mean it'll also stop stuff I've bought popping up on other sites?

Actually I've just found another bit where you can stop ads being personalised so I'm trying that.
