Oh dear, I keep blaming my mistakes on menopause brain, I guess for men it has to be drink.

I wouldn't go on ebay sober or after having a few drinks.

Re: Ebay...A WARNING.

I have a solution to this type of impulse buying.
I now put things on my "Watch" list, I usually forget about them until the bidding is over.
Unfortunately, this also happens with things I actually want and don't bid on in case I drive the price up!
I also don't dare put Ebay on my phone it's too accessible!

I'm guilty, though, of impulse buying from Argos. Same-day delivery only costs £3.95.

The obvious answer, the one that everyone has overlooked thus far, is to go out and buy a vehicle and house that fit your newly purchased items.

And who said it was too early for Christmas?
And here was I thinking Man Maths was gender specific

I totally agree with that TessA.

I have put up threads after a drink and didn't even remember starting them! I know Dreamy can vouch for that, but at least it never cost me a penny!
