Internet Purchasing

[robert551069]

Have you ever bought anything on the Internet which you hoped might exist , but had never seen advertised?
When I want something,I Google it, just to see if it exists.
I have bought a light weight wheelchair, a meat slicer and a cherry stoner in this way.

Yes I bought a Crackerjack nutcracker. It was the best thing ever but I seem to have lost it again now. :))

I usually find things like that in the Betterware catalogues that come through my letterbox.

I googled "glow in the dark" items for camping and found them.

I also bought a flyswat as I had mislaid the one I had.
This one looks like a tennis racket and needs 2x AA batteries.
It not only swats insects but electrocutes them as well.
Very useful when camping in the summer.

Message to Mojo-Jo-Jo
I did not know of the existence of Crackerjack Nutcrackers, but I see that they are available very cheaply from E-Bay.
I'll treat myself to one for Christmas

[boxtops]

have you, johanna? - are you going to tell us a good site to visit?

[boxtops]

oh yes, you have

[boxtops]

I've seen all those things advertised, robert, in shops and in catalogues - not sure why you haven't ever heard of them (nor, tbh, why anyone would want a cherry stoner....)

I bought a razor resharpener, tried one of my old mach 3 blades, 5 weeks later still using the old blade, £9.99 inc delivery, saving me a packet!

You can't play tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor when you've taken out the stones.

[tonyav]

Thats took me back a while, Tilly.

[Tilly2]

Tony, I seem to keep reminding you of your past. Are we related? (Sorry Robert, off topic here.)

[tonyav]

Yes you do Tilly, strange don't you think.

[Tilly2]

Nah, probably same age and same part of the world.

[tonyav]

Probably Tilly, West Midlands myself.
