I've been having a bit of a buying spree on Ebay for the vintage swimwear collection and this one, above, I really wanted. So badly in fact, that I stayed up into the early hours of the morning to be there to bid on it within the last few seconds of the auction. Which is exactly what I tried to do. With 10 seconds to go I clicked 'confirm bid' and, for no reason at all since I was signed in and had been using Ebay in the same browser window all evening, I was confronted with the "Please sign in" page before I could finish my bid. Of course, when you are asked to type your password in a frantic hurry and completely unexpectedly, it all becomes impossible and by the time I had got my fingers untied, the auction had ended. So, I have nicked the image from the website and offer it here as a cautionary tale! Here's one that got away...
