Speaking of shopping ... I've had two minor shocks today ... should have known but still worrying ...

Went to buy an item online and didn't even get to the name and address part in Checkout ... as soon as I put in my email address started getting text messages from something called Shop/Shopify ...with security code to use ...

Instantly backed out and blocked ...

Went to another store ... same thing.

Rang the store and seems that is now standard practice in that once we buy one item, the phone and emails are permanently connected ...

I refused to go through Shop/Shopify and managed to place order ...

Now we wait and see what this bloody Shop/Shopify does in the future ... and if my item arrives ...
