Do you ever do a 'fantasy shop' on your favourite on-line shop?

Have just filled a basket full of bits and pieces of goodies at my favourite on-line shop, pretending that money is no object and I can have whatever I want............... then I empty it again after gasping at the amount it would cost........... retail therapy at its best?

I always have long wish lists on nap and matches - just in case . . .

Its also why I love pinterest as it fills a similar function for me

all the time! and then i go mental when DH or DS logs out of the computer and it empties them...Angry

it's great being able to revisit your shopping baskets in several stores over the course of a fortnight - very helpful when you're trying to see if you really want an item - and i hate when stuff isn't stored for more than a couple of hours (grrr...whistles)

if i were to 'proceed to checkout' now on all of my open tabs i wouldn't have change from a couple of grand! Smile

Oh yes.

Erm yeah. Do people have other hobbies then?

MrsCampbellBlack · 22/06/2013 21:20

Well, I was contemplating needlepoint after seeing Liz Hurley is an avid fan but then had a word with myself and updated my nap wish list.

In the middle of doing this at the mo.

Am doing a fashion and beauty wish list going on. Have about 10 tabs open on google.

It's great fun.

Quite often. I do love the random threads that appear on here. It's nice to know you're not the only one Smile

Once, when matches were doing one of their £10k give aways and I was bf a lot, I compiled a list of what I'd spend the money on.

The sad thing was it didn't even take me that long.

Sometimes - i even copy n paste stuff onto note book then forget to check it and wander about online just buying stuff i like and make tons of mistakes.

Im tired of all this clothes business I'm nearly forty and still think i get it all wrong and resign myself to jeans and trainers most days.

Ive spent to day and now very unsure. whoosssshh!!!

I cut & paste pictures from various websites into a word document to see how various separates look together. Blush

MaybeBentley · 23/06/2013 22:05

copy & paste even

flippitydoodah · 24/06/2013 00:04

So glad I am not alone in this, keeps me happy for ages! Smile but have just converted some of my 'wishing' into 'ordering' as stock levels on some items I have in my basket were getting low......... Blush

love Amber's comment, very funny Grin
