DON'T spend it, thats technically theft. There was a cracking story in the papers about a similar situation, person spent it and ended up in court.
I'll see if I can find it. - Nope can't find it.[STRIKE]Student Loan = 798 @ Jan 2013 Target date to clear = 2013 DONE [/STRIKE]

"Over the following fortnight, Lee helped herself to £33,000, spending much of it at sex shop chains, Simply Pleasure and Ann Summers"
Just how the heck can you spend that much in those shops

If its still there in a few days, dont spend any of it, but move it into a high interest savings account until they ask for it back, you may as well make some use of their !!!!-up0
