We do a lot of online shopping because we don't live in the metro area and besides that it is easy and I am lazy and fuel costs heaps. I often find that a parcel gets delivered and neither of us can remember what we ordered and it is a bit like Christmas, unwrapping the new arrival and suddenly remembering what I ordered a few weeks ago!
From time to time I've kept a spreadsheet of my orders so I know what's arrived, what's to come and nominally when it should arrive etc
The items are colour coded, Blue is on order, green is delivered, orange is over due by no more than 2 weeks, red is more than two weeks. purple is under dispute (rare)
You can also use that for the wishlist items too - no highlight colour means we should debate whether we want it or notQuote:

You can flirt with young female staff and then get treated like silly old sod, good for a laugh instead of being slapped on the face.
had a young lady offer to bring my groceries to my car, laughed and blushed when I asked if she would come home and bring them inside for me.
I love this life, my dear Dad taught me well.
