I`m amazed at those figures!

I would have thought that the majority of people had already done all the shopping in the run up to today, and, many would have other things on their minds today.

Maybe some are just compulsive shoppers who go online to shop because the high street stores are closed, or, they have more time spare than normal?

Anyway, that`s very good news for those of us who run online stores, it`ll be interesting when I look at my stats for today - tomorrow. :p

I think we are a nation of compulsive shoppers especially when we hear the word "bargains" whether its genuine or just stores playing with us, we fall for it.
