New figures show between 33 million of us, we spent £49.8 billion buying items online last year.

Fraud prevention firm Retail Decisions found nearly a third of those purchases were made during November and December.

That's a huge increase on the year before, with online sales rising 21 per cent on 2008.

And it wasn't just Christmas shopping, as Carl Clump, CEO of Retail Decisions, says "for the first time in the UK, a post Christmas Monday, 28th December, made it onto the list of top performing online days."

Meanwhile Monday 7th December was dubbed Cyber Monday as it was the biggest online shopping day of the year.

Apparently consumers spend the weekend looking for items on the High Street, then buy them on the internet to get the best deal.
