to just say fuck it and embrace my mistake?

[Ivechangedmyname1]

I did an online shop but had no time to complete so booked my slot, put £40 worth of knobbly bobbly ice creams in the basket and checkout!

Went to complete my shopping and it wont let me change the order as I checked out at 2 mins past midnight!

So now I have 160 ice creams being delivered between 9am and 10am.

I thinking ill just accept the order and we can live on ice cream for a week.

AIBU?

I now have to go actually shopping with 2dc, fuck

To be fair nobbly bobbly ice lollies are the best invention in the food world. I could probably eat that many in one sitting.

I use the same method of reserving the slot as you OP, except I fill my basket temporarily with alcohol to the value of £40.
So far, I've forgotten to amend my orders three times and have twice received a delivery consisting only of six bottles of wine, and on the other occassion received two bottles of champagne.
I didn't know whether to feel distraught when i answered the door to the delivery man, or rather jubilant....

Oooh yummy! As far as mistakes go that’s a good one.

I wonder if the OP has finished them during the course of the 4 years since she received them?

Who woke this old-ass thread up? Moron.

I’ve done something similar. This is beautiful! I mean since the world is going to hell in a handcart I think ice cream in vast quantities is the only sane solution!

Just realised this is a zombie thread after reading the first 7 or so pages but it is Halloween month so seems appropriate LOL! It's given me a right giggle so thank you anyway......

Believe it or not I've never done an online grocery shop - DP and I are in our early 50s and as we just fend for ourselves we hit Lidl when we're not eating appallingly erratically. But you can bet that between us we'd have done some howlers if we did.....

Recently I went shopping at a huge Tescos with my "DIL" for my DS's birthday barbecue. It's so long since I went to a big supermarket I must have looked like a flipping time traveller from the dark ages as I oohed and aahed at the huge range of everything for sale and as for the self scanning thing - good Lord, the wonders of modern technology!!!!

I need to get out more.

@peripateticparents

Ice cream for the class at school pickup? Else sounds like my kind of meal planning for the week

Me too! ..except I haven't a freezer at moment {just ice box} so those ice creams would be eaten in one day.

Are you American? Only Americans use ''Moron''

You clearly got sucked in, too.

Go round the doors and do a Good Neighbour thing

Except the icecreams are around since 2016!

I have only ever done 1 online shopping purchase.
Last Christmas, Tesco had some cute wee felt mice Tree decorations.
I wanted a few but they were £4.99 each!
Imagine my joy when I went into the local store and they'd been reduced to '75p to clear'. I bought the only 2, but was told 'plenty more avail online'. At that price, I planned to buy 20: 10 for the tree and 10 to populate a 'mouse house' dolls house for my Dd (ok, for me, I'm a bit weird). Oh the excitement of getting 20 mice for the price of 3 :)

When the man turned up, he only had 2 mice. I was gutted (plus stupid delivery charge made it up to £15 anyway!), He felt sorry for me, almost in tears, and made them do a wee dance on my doorstep.
I cannot imagine what he said to his partner / colleagues about me:'there was this mad wifey, gutted to get 2 mice instead of 20, so I made them do a wee dance and it seemed to cheer her up, the loon'

(I complained about the charge and got a refund, but never got any more mice) Not enough for Tree or House, they now hang upside down by their tails from my grandfather clock, all year, in their glory.

@Georgyporky

I wonder if the OP has finished them during the course of the 4 years since she received them?

I imagine so!

@CharityDingle yeah I just saw - they might be a bit melted

@itsstillgood

This is why I use toilet rolls to fill the basket when I am doing the reserve thing :)

Top tip!

I will stop adding three bottles of veuve cliquot and do this instead!

I remember the week years ago I ordered onlikne from Tesco the shopping including 30 eggs but in fact I did 30 x 12 boxes of eggs and our then cleaner in my very efficient system always put the shopping away and collected it in in those days so I got back to 360 eggs.... anyway we actually did work through them ( as there were 6 of us here then) and I think gave a couple of boxes away.

I learned the hard way.
Now I have a saved list of basics that I use to reserve the slot with!

Why did you bump a four year old thread just to post a link to it?! 🤔

I usually put the most expensive bottle of champagne in my basket and take it off later. One day I will forget to take it off.....

There's a more recent thread where someone has ordered a million batteries, this thread was mentioned... I think the link may have been posted here by mistake instead of on the battery thread?

I press on reorder from the previous order, this orders the same groceries as the previous week. Cant you try doing that next time? Love nobly bobblys by the way, your kids will be over the moon!

Just refuse delivery. They should refund.

What ANOTHER zombie?

i know what is it today with zombie threads

Is it technically a zombie thread if the OP is still working her way through the ice-creams?! 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦
