Mumsnet user wakes to find she’s bid on ‘something hideous’ – and WON – after a night drinking
The woman is both mortified and amused by her wine-fuelled antics... and she's not the only one who has a similar tale to tell
IF you've ever been tempted to bid on something you'd never consider buying sober after a few drinks, spare a thought for this poor mum.
Cat Thief Keith was both confused and amused to wake to the news she'd won two decorative eggs in an online charity auction.
, she asked: "What the f*** was I thinking? Wine is my only excuse.
"I vaguely remember thinking they would make a good talking point...
"Please tell me I'm not the only one that has bought something hideous whilst p***ed?"
Cat Thief Keith only paid £2 for the eggs, and she has absolutely no idea how big they are - but is hoping they're not ostrich-sized.
The post, and the woman's dilemma, soon went viral - and she's not the only one guilty of online shopping after a few alcoholic beverages.

And Audrey Bradshaw added: "I went to ASDA slightly inebriated a few years ago and bought 18 bananas, two pot noodles, a packet of jammy dodgers and a Connect 4 board game. I was 28 at the time."
While Horrid Henrietta 2 said: "I have managed to eBay a range of weird and wonderful items basically in my sleep.
"One day a broken tatty camcorder appeared in the post and I was confused as I had no recollection of ordering it!
"Worked out well though, it was very cheap (possibly 99p) and I gave it to the kids who still play with it on a regular basis two years on."
These Mumsnet users shared tales of the worst gifts they've ever been given. Do you think any of them were drunken purchases?
While others were full of advice for the red-faced mum.
Kick A** Angel joked: "Do you have a post-Christmas c*** presents swap at work? If not, maybe you should start one."
And Lolimax added: "Someone's going to have a lovely Christmas present from CatThief this year."
Pink Swim Goggles asked: "If you sit on them, will they hatch?" and Petty Woman joked: "They might be dragons."
Cozie Toesie thought there was a lesson to be learned, adding: "You'll be keeping them of course? You need a permanent reminder, I reckon."
And I Miss My Old Username teased: "They look fookin massive, if you use the floorboards as reference - nice work."
While Frick on a Stick concluded: "They are rotten but at least you didn't spend £££ on them. Silver linings."
