Anybody overdoing online purchases while bored in lockdown?

I'm very tempted by this even though I don't really need it!

Dont know if it counts as unnecessary but this is my biggest so far during the shutdown.

I've spent £6 on an owl and pussycat with solar powered LED eyes - definitely unnecessary. :)

Or perhaps they'll warn off covid-19. :D

Maybe you should get a Virtual Reality headset for that new gaming PC :)

Don't understand how anyone can use those at home. After half an hour of play, take off the headset and you'll find everything in your living room's been smashed up. :lol:

Shaun, I’m a postie & you wouldn’t believe the sort of stuff going through the system at the moment, some of it really makes us laugh considering the current climate

I'd be curious to know what other memorabilia you've secured for the future.

On Ebay, bought this (Fidget Spinner) @ 0.99p. Used for anxiety and to increase concentration. Been sitting on desk for weeks, getting a bit anxious about it...
