I Could Kick Myself

Oh now you’ve cheered me up! I’ve done similiar things on,y realised after going to the proceed button and remembered afterwards what I’d done! I will be careful in future but know I’ll do it again!

I ordered a presentation gift pack for a restaurant deal we’ve bought DD1 and DSIL for Christmas. It arrived yesterday. Quality cards in a vellum envelope, nicely printed, with my message which ends from your Secret Santa. And my name printed four times over the two cards and the envelope. I’m going to need some Tippex!

Not me, but DH forgot to send in the readings from the solar panels at sometime.
So now we just have had a small payment, instead of the nice large one that we usually receive in November.
Ah well, that's life!

Received the gift I bought for Dd2 yesterday and have just had notification that it is on its way. Yes, I’ve managed to order it twice! At least I know the duplicate can be returned but still a pain.

Good Morning all and so nice to hear that I am not alone in fretting with online orders. I def can't return it as it clearly states on invoice no cosmetic returns. I know it's not the end of the world and it is only £25 but it was more my carelessness and lack of checking that bothered me. What does your teacher always tell you, read, read and read again. Yes I remember now. Anyway it's been nice to read all of your stories and confirms I am not alone. Thank you.

I went to the paint shop and asked for 10 litres of white paint, popped it home to the decorator and went back to work, got home to cream ceilings! 10 litres of paint wasted, and a days pay for the decorator!

Is it sealed? That is usually the sticking point with cosmetics.

Are you sure you can't return it if it was online and £25 possibly?

Like Tangerine says, save it for her birthday - which is hopefully in the summer when the lighter shade will show off her tan wonderfully!!

The last lot of net curtains I bought came back cream. I was sure I ordered white. Checked the online order and I had entered wrong colour. I don't like cream net curtains but I put them up and I'm living with them. Luckily it's only the bedroom windows.

I had a voucher for 20% discount for M&S. Placed for some towels-faffing about sizes, bath towel/sheet. Placed order and forgot to apply code!! Numpty! Had 1/2 hour to cancel order then start all over again!

Looks like you are not alone Brunette! I get very anxious when trying to book online. There is always some sticky bit in the website which I don't understand. I much prefer speaking to a human.

Booking a cheap train ticket once, I filled in all the details online but the payment never quite seemed to go through and it was probably midnight when I called the helpline. The voice at the other end kept telling me to go to my bank!! at midnight. Right.
So I began again and bought another ticket but by this time all the cheap ticket had gone.

I booked a aeroplane ticket for my daughter and don’t know how but managed to add an extra letter on the end of her surname it was her first Christian name initial . She didn’t look at her emails for a couple of days then noticed the name was slightly wrong We went through quite a procedure to find out what to do eventually found out how to change a name it was Free to do in the first 24 hours (which we d well passed) after that £170 odd to change it I nearly had a heart attack After what seemed like hours trying to phone the airline we eventually found out that one letter wouldn’t make a difference Was I relieved but I still no idea how I managed to do that

I feel your pain Brunette. I ordered a pair of stud earrings for my DIL for her birthday. Clicked on what I thought were the right ones and paid extra for next day delivery. Wrong! Can't return them so I'm stuck with them until I can find another suitable recipient. And I've still got to buy another pair. ?

Give it to your daughter for her birthday possibly. If it's too pale, she can mix it with something darker. All is not lost.

I’m really cross!

I ordered some light fittings today, and forgot I had a 15% voucher code, could have saved £90.00!
I am really annoyed with myself.

DH did a similar thing as BlueSapphire's son in law. He booked train tickets for us to visit DD in Scotland, but the return date was the following month. We had to pay for single tickets for out return journey as they wouldn't change them.

DD and her DH are going to Mexico on Boxing Day. DSil booked their tickets online and booked for the 26th November instead of 26th December. It cost them a fair bit to get it changed.

Feeling better already - it's an age thing I wonder or just plain carelessness.

That dratted autofill is a nuisance, booked hols for next year, we're taking our GD, it put her surname the same ad ours so had to ring next day to correct, luckily no admin charge made. The assistant did say it does happen quite often though so not just me.

If it makes you feel any better Brunette10 I treated our eldest daughter at duty free on the way home in September. She asked for a ‘good eye make up remover, maybe Clinique?’

As they didn’t have any in stock I went more upmarket and for €27 bought her a Clarins one. Ouch! I wouldn’t spend that much on myself but like you I didn’t mind for daughter.

Recently she admitted she’d only used it once and then had inadvertently left it behind in the hotel bathroom in Barcelona.

?

We've all done similar, at least you realised in time to order the right colour.

You're not alone Brunette10.
I made a small error when filling in an online form for car insurance. It cost me a £30 admin fee to correct. I have paid Ryanair £80 to correct a similar error too.
In my case it was autofill that was my downfall.
