    I spent £140 today on a new carpet for my parent's room because it's 18 years old and skanky and I had my student grant money.

  • Forgive me... I spent an unexpected £30 on skiing (we had snow and I just couldn't say no) and, even worse, somewhere between £30-£40 yesterday on a night out :o

    I havn't even checked my purse.

    It was budgeted for though as I'd known about it for months.
