Addicted.

to online shopping. argh

I never thought i'd live to see the day... i see the merits sometimes, esp when there's free delivery and free returns. it's cheaper than going to the shop (£1.80 to get to town and another £1.80 to come home). it's faster, and 24/7.....

my massive boots order just arrived today (boots is a pharmacy btw.... heh). the box was so heavy the concierge had to help me carry it to the flat. haha... i didn't even ask, he volunteered! how nice is that. i now have a whole year's supply of shampoo, conditioner, soap and cotton wool. i think. i don't even think i need 8 bottles of soap for 1 year (half price). or 6 bottles of shampoo & conditioner (buy 1 get 1 free). but i kinda convinced myself that it's much easier to have them deliver everything so that i don't have to carry everything back. of course, there was the "spend £50, get £12 worth of points" which makes it even more attractive. to be fair, i will offload some of these stuff to D when i next see him so that he can help to use.

but then again, they just had ANOTHER round of that same offer the week before, and i also succumbed. i bought foundation 4 shades too dark for my skin and got scolded by the skin specialist at the clinique counter today when i went to get it exchanged, haha. but it was >20% off, plus another £7.50 of points.

i also think i have enough boots points for all my shopping there for the next year. heh. at least £50 worth. and i just found out that i can get boots points by shopping at asos too! HAHA, it's never ending. you can literally buy anything online in this country. i have never done more online shopping in my whole life than this year alone. tsk. i even bought a whole camera (my Canon S90) from ebay for £250 when it was $800+ in singapore.

(of course, this post only shows that i am super auntie, for i neglect to talk about all the virtual shops i visit too. let's just keep it that way for now.)

the last step i have not degenerated to is grocery shopping online. and the only thing stopping me is the lack of free delivery because of the special refrigerated trucks they use to deliver the stuff. the day will come (hopefully not, fingers crossed). but for now, i shall continue to carry cartons of milk etc physically back home. Afterall, I don't think I could buy a year's supply of milk, can I? :p

i need therapy! not the retail sort....
