The Original Entry:
I've bought a bed. Trouble is I didn't know I had.
Deciding that in the coming months I would probably buy a new bed I've been browsing around various web sites looking to compare prices. Index had a rather nice solid pine jobby that I liked the look of. As I'm still paying off my overdraft, built up from when I first moved down to Bath, I thought I'd apply for their Flexible Account. Then if I decided to buy the bed from them then I could pay it off over 6 months interest free. So I applied for the card. I received the confirmation email regarding the account application this morning. "Great!", I thought, "now I can buy it straight away, if and when I decide to, without having to wait for the card application to go through first". On coming home from work tonight I find another email saying "Your order is confirmed as ...". Trouble is that at no point did I think that I'd actually bought the bed. I just thought I'd signed up for the card account! I do of course have the right to cancel, and after some deliberation I've decided that I'll probably go along with it. I can after-all cancel the contract after they deliver it in 2 weeks time.
I might sleep easier with the new bed, but I might not sleep so easy from wondering what I may accidentally buy tomorrow!
