- Once you have purchased an item open the product in-store (or in your car).
- Make sure everything is of an acceptable standard, and that it is what you needed (it usually is but I’ve sometimes made the mistake of buying the wrong cable).
I do this when buying:
- Technology;usually for small items e.g. USB, hard drives, cables, headphones, soldering irons etc… I would do it for laptops only if the box looked like it had taken a knocking. I’d want to check the screen there and then.
- Medical prescriptions; my grandmother was once given out-of-date medicine and the pharmacy also once ran out of the drug she needed and offered an alternative that my grandmother was actually allergic too.
- Textbooks;have a good look at the contents pages and illustrations (some pictures are sooo difficult to understand!) and make sure it has testing questions.
I have social anxiety and hate leaving the house for shopping so this has really saved me the worry of having to return products.
Friday’s // London is actually really dull today and I am tired.
We’re celebrating as two of my friends are getting married and another is pregnant. Being The Antisocial Trash™ that I am, I decided to bake cakes in lieu of my attendance. I also read some infamous Dahl and sorted out my evergrowing stamp collection in the morning.

11:00am // Work breaks.
With formal modules over, my breaks consist of reading [Phantoms in the Brain by V. S. Ramachandran] and walks around campus whilst listening to podcasts.
