Late night acquisition syndrome...

[JamesB71]

Damnit... ive done it again.

I have this problem where I sit up late at night, might have a wine or a martini or two.. and impulse buy things that I absolutely cant live without. Then completely forget that I have bought anything.

I arrived home tonight to find a card in the mail for a large package to be picked up from the post office. Your guess is as good as mine as to what it might be. Its not off ebay.....but it must be off the net. I dont drunken impulse buy things in real life....

Does anyone else suffer from this horrid affliction?

Still..... it makes going to the letterbox a bit like Xmas.

Yes, But I usually realise when I try to shop for small things like FOOD and find there's nothing left and no idea of where it's gone.

I hear you there. I just had the embarrassing situation of having to nip out to the car to transfer some money into my spending account when my card bounced over a bottle of gin......

My daughters flatmate did it. The house was full of unopened parcels that the postie had delivered. She hoarded stuff as well. Difficult to deal with and daughter no longer lives there.

All the time, wifey is on to me. I can try and say that the price in Pounds Sterling is dollars, but I think she has worked it out. This doesn't include postage. I do now have a really cool defender hoodie in green. Love it.

I have the same affliction occasionally. Every time i see an empty bottle of Jamesons in the morning i immediately check on line banking to see what i have done. However you are right about the Xmas thing. For the time being I can get away with it because the family are away in In the UK but they'll come home and see new fishing gear, new this and new that and the gig will be up. I will have one reply to them when they say anything " well you lot have been swanning around Europe the last 6 weeks. This is my way to to not feel let out."

Cheers to all. I'll have another one thanks.

Damnit... ive done it again.

If it makes it easier for you, how about you change the shipping address to my place and I can filter out all of the "useless" stuff...

I once had an indiscretion involving whiskey, ebay and a very expensive Mamiya Medium Format kit.

I was out bid (sniped) at the last minute thank goodness.

That said, the post office know me well and I've rarely got any idea what a parcel is until I open it.

Hint - get a PO Box

Ha.. you think you have it bad.. I don't even have to be drinking to buy too much unneeded stuff online and then forget about it until it arrives..

I knew I had a problem though when I was hailed down on the hwy by a white van; when I pulled over I realised it was the parcel delivery guy and yes he had some parcels for me - he decided that delivering on the hwy would save him yet another trip to my house.. (joke was on him though as he was back the next day)
