I can not honestly remember the last time I bought something in a shop. Outside of the can of Coke Zero and Mars bar cycling 'home' last night.
Every single electrical item, toy, book, map, anything has been bought online.
That's just quite shocked me actually.
I remember now, we were in Glastonbury and went into a hippy shop as my eldest wanted soem incense sticks. 5 weeks ago...Comment
