Have you ever....

I don't buy magazines, but the under sink cupboard is bursting with cleaning stuff replicated many times over.

I often do it with food too, loads of doubled up stuff, and when I am sure that we have already got it we haven't!!

I once went to a church sale and bought a selection of books I thought my mother would like when I gave them to her they were all ones she had donated

Yes I have bought the same magazine twice and just lately the same dress- it looked different on line.

I was in a charity shop yesterday and thought, ooh, those boots look nice. Then realised I had given them to the charity shop.
This isn't the first time this has happened.

petra A few years ago my Aunt, who was visiting from the USA, wandered into town on her own. She returned 'home' to my house triumphantly producing a pair of unworn sandals that she'd bought at the charity shop. I'd donated them the week before! We could have cut out the middle man

I have to confess being so worried about running out of custard [instant] that when I checekd the store cupboard, I had 27 packets! beat that

Yes, more than once i have bought the same magazine twice, but generally it is a monthly one.

I am trying to remember when I last ate custard so I would never run out of that☺

Haven't bought two of anything but frequently bring home books from the library I have already borrowed!

I buy the glossy knitting magazines in charity shops. The trouble is, i can't remember if I've read them before. I often bring them home, flick through them, and find half of them have to be re-donated.

This month I ordered a personalised birthday cake topper online, for my DS, which said "Happy 34th Birthday -- DS's Name" . I had botched the order and two arrived. I can't even use the spare next year can I!!!!

Not only that but the miniature golfer that I ordered at the same time for another DS's birthday cake has disappeared into my house's resident black hole. I know it will reappear at some point as today 3 Christmas Selection Boxes and 5 packs of chocolate coins rematerialized in a carrier bag in my bedroom when I was looking for a bag of black wool that used to be in that space.

Mollie I am surprised that Kindle books let you buy the same book twice. My Kindle tells me if I have already got it as I am about to buy it again.

Also Amazon are very helpful and if something goes wrong like that. If you contact them I am sure they will put a credit on your account and take the duplicate book off.

I had a mix up with a voucher number which I failed to apply even though the book I bought was eligible. They were great. They took the book off, I bought it again with the voucher which they had applied and then they sent me a small credit towards another book of my own choice and magic it has worked.!!! I rang 08004962449 to get all this help.

I haven't bought the same magazine twice but I have had some very funny looks when, in bookshops, I ask my husband, 'Have I read this book?'
