I'm looking, but I can't see your point?

Yeah, stupid laws...

*sigh*
You say you haven't spent any money in the last three months, and yet have spent over £100 in the last week.
As for your claim that I don't know your financial situation, attempting to claim that you've been so tight with money in recent times tells me all I need to know about your curent situation.
And telling me that you've been scrimping the pennies, only to waste money given to you to help educate you on popular media you don't require hardly makes your case sound any more clever.

how do you sleep at night?
When I leave Uni I'll owe nearly 13 grand. Quite a bit of that has been spent on getting lashed, buying hardware for my computer, even a gym membership. But you have to remember that in all that time, I wasn't working, so essentially, what was left of my loan, after I'd paid my tuition fees, was my income.
I don't feel guilty about it, especially as when I finish Uni this summer, and start to work for a living payments will immediately start, and will last for many years.
It's not a freebie.
> You don't really need to defend yourself monkey_man,
Heh, I'm not. It's funny because IB seems to be getting wound up at the thought of student who has money that isn't a student loan! So I could twist the mutha some more, or I could just leave the thread, smug in the knowledge that I'm very sensible with my money, and he doesn't have a clue.
Within two days of getting there I was working night shifts at Tesco because my loan was pant's (£2,200) and I don't want to scrimp off of my parents.
When my loans did come thorugh I paid most of my tuition and accomodation fees, so why shouldn't I spend the rest of the loan on a widescreen telly?

my sentiments exactly. Why should I live like a pov just because I want to gain further qualifications?
