OK, I extolled the virtues of online shopping yesterday, and I stand by those things.
But as a prolific online shopper (which sounds better than over-orderer!) there are things that I hate too…
1) Getting your hopes up on the perfect dress/top/playsuit, and then it turns up and looks (and feels) like one of your Nan’s tea-towels. Who said the camera doesn’t lie?
2) Not being able to judge the sizing by holding an item up on the hanger and therefore having to order 3 sizes in everything just to be sure.
3) The look you get at the post office when you turn up regularly with 73 parcels to return – the customers hate you for slowing the queue and the postmaster judges you for shopping again
4) Keeping track of refunds – did New Look/Dorothy Perkins/H&M process all of the orders I’ve sent back in the last 2 weeks?
5) When you can only return items to store, so have to spend AGES at the till while the cashier refunds what seemed like a small order online, but in reality is half your monthly salary.
Of course it’s a small price to pay, so I’m not going to be quitting any time soon…
Thanks, as always, for reading! x

Thanks, I certainly do all of those things! I love a bargain!
On the weekends now, my boyfriend asks if I need to return anything in town, as he knows I’ll have shopped online during the week 🙁 oops!
Wow, you have him well trained!
The husband is so used to all deliveries being for me that he accidentally handed over a couple of parcels addressed to him this week.
Which means they *must* be my Christmas presents!
Haha! He always wonders if it’s for him, but to almost always for me 🙂 I’m glad I can say it to someone who relates, and not have to feel so guilty! X
