The Perils of Late Night Shopping

My favourite hobby used to be sitting with my phone on eBay late at night, searching “vintage dress”.

I would bid on anything that was ending soon and still on 99p (it’s a great hobby, give it a go!). A few days later I’d come home to a flurry of missed parcel cards and drag myself off to collect them. Sometimes I would strike gold, this purple 70s dress was a late night eBay 99p bargain, as was this white wiggle dress that came as part of a job lot that worked out under £1 a dress.

99p

Barclaycard have teamed up with Jason Manford to produce a series of little videos about “grown up” money issues. They asked if I would share one, and as a long term internet shopper this one certainly rang a bell!

Sadly not all my late night internet purchases have been as successful as the 2 dresses above, and many times I have dragged myself off to collect parcels full of bobbly shapeless polyester that is probably still laguishing in a pile in a cupboard while I convince myself I’m going to do something useful with it, which, considering my lack of dressmaking skills, would probably be to cut it up for dusters. Or it would if I ever did any dusting, which I don’t, often, because I am lazy and messy.

If you want to watch more of the videos, and I’m quite fond of the one on passwords, then you can find them here!
