One of my great delights is ordering 'stuff' online. I enjoy browsing websites like eBay and Wish, poring over bargains, wondering whether I can live without them. I'm not always looking for something in particular but, occasionally I have an item in mind. Marilyn likes to carry a couple of coffee sachets in her handbag; we normally pinch the from motels but we haven't been to a motel in ages so she's run out. There's a site on eBay which will sell me 50 Moccona sachets for peanuts. If I need a new cable for my phone, I can save myself a trip into town just with the click of a button. And it helps to pass the time. eBay is good but Amazon is a treasure trove.
It's so easy to order: just press BUY NOW, a message pops up WE'VE RECOGNISED YOU ON THIS DEVICE, SO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT WILL BE CHARGED and then there's the pleasure of waiting for the parcel to arrive.
Of course sometimes the item doesn't fit the bill but I'm OK with chucking it in the bin and putting it down to experience. I can always look for something more suitable.
Maybe I need to re-evaluate my hobby, though. I had three parcels delivered yesterday and two today. Too many? Probably.
