Mum shows why you should never fall asleep doing the food shop as very Christmassy Asda haul arrives
A WOMAN has left people in hysterics after revealing the hilarious blunder which occurred after she fell asleep whilst doing an online shop.
Joanne Healy had planned to stock up on her weekly grocery order, including food for the family, and nappies for her baby.
She'd put five boxes of chocolate in her basket as a placeholder to secure her delivery slot, intending to add the rest of her shopping before the cut-off deadline.
However, she accidentally fell asleep midway through adding to the order, meaning that just the chocolate turned up at her door.
The busy mum took to the Family Lowdown Tips & Ideas group on Facebook to share her hilarious tale.
Alongside a picture of her weekly shop, consisting of a box each of Dairy Milk, Quality Street, Roses, Celebrations and Heroes, Joanne wrote: "Anyone else falls asleep while amending their online shopping so it doesn’t update?

"No? Just me? Done a Asda shop went on last night while I was in bed I was wide awake to amend it but I must of fell asleep because this is all I got."
Joanne added that her mistake meant she hadn't received the rest of the food she needed for the week, or nappies for her children.
And the tale prompted the sharing of similarly hilarious stories from other commenters on the post.
"I've so done this. One solitary bottle of champagne arrived," one person wrote.

"I'd put it on there just to reach the minimum spend, then totally forgot to add in my real shopping. Luckily the delivery guy had a great sense of humour!"
"Yep, 5 packets of cigarettes for my husband!!!" someone else commented.
"The delivery man had a good laugh, he said it happens all of the time!!! I thought I'd checked out the whole shop too so a bit of a shock for us all and not really a well balanced diet for the week!!!!"
"Twice I've had a call off my delivery driver saying I only have a bunch of bananas on my order, would I like to cancel?!" a third person wrote.
"Very grateful for those phone calls!"
