How restless spirits lead to shopping disasters

To my shame, I once received an 8ft inflatable flamingo in the post after an ill-advised late night shopping spree.
This is surprisingly common. A very straitlaced friend of mine confessed to purchasing 50 disco balls and 100 packs of ice lolly moulds after another drink-fuelled night down the online shops.
