Bigotry, reliance on unsupported 'facts', unkindness, unfairness.
Me:
A pack of chocolate eclairs
2 custard slices
Rolos
Fruit cake
And a packet of chocolate-covered ginger biscuits.

All I really needed was 2 glucotabs and a cup of tea.

I accidentally bought an episode of elementary (some Sherlock Holmes thing) via my firestick - I never watch stuff I have to pay for - which I then passed out & didn't even watch! I do just like to press buttons when hypo...

A jet ski, electric welder and a wet suit:)

Wetsuits are always useful, what better way to swim in this colder clime, unless you live inland

Haven't had any impulse hypo buy sprees yet, but that would be fun at the time. Then I would regret it massively when I see the impact on my bank account eek.

Why the electric welder? By the sounds of things your brain was thinking of going out for a nice swim! :D

Poor grammar, bullying and drunks.
I've never had a hypo, I'd best make a list - just in case

The smell of cigars
Three pairs of exactly the same trousers, at the same time. Luckily I could return them when back to normal.

Did you manage to eat it all :D

No, luckily! Once I'd sobered up, as it were, I was tempted by the custard slices but saved them and the biscuits for another time. I did have some of the rolos, served the fruitcake (apt symbol of me shopping) to hubby and the choc eclairs mouldered. I don't even like them.

I had to repair a fairway buoy. The jetski and wetsuit were purely for the commute:)

Everything I've said is an absolute lie by the way, just to make that clear. I can't actually weld, nor did I repair the buoy;)

Jokes aside, I bought none of it. If anyone got chuckle, I'm glad!

I did learn how to use a gas welder at Art School and still clean my garden-muddied shoes on a scraper I made then - this is Fairygodmother boasting here ♀️

@GrantGam you work on a ship so I can see the welder and wetsuit being useful, the jet ski was overkill...
@Guzzler if you write a list now the things you buy if hypo will not be what is on the list.

As long as I don't buy avocados I will be happy!
