"I'm not allowed within 100m of a virgin"

...megastore, because I keep spending all my money on CDs and DVDs. I completed my Supergrass collection by buying their first two albums (I only had copies), and got the only Beck album I'm missing (Mellow Gold). Next up, Gold Soundz to complete my Pavement collection. I've only had my student loan a week and I've already spent £100 on various media that I've had queued up for months.

On your side Monkey Man - Did 1 year at Uni and found out I couldn't afford it.

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?

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.

You don't really need to defend yourself monkey_man, you'll have to pay this all back some day, it's not as though you are getting it free of charge. It's a loan, not a grant.

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.

I wasn't trying to make a case or anything. If I had the money at the time, I would have bought this lot seperately, but now I've got what I needed, it's time to not spend any more on media for a while again. And it wasn't just the student loan I was waiting for - I have other sources of income that you don't have a clue about.

*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.

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

The title is pure genius...


and probably true

And I never said I didn't need it. I'd have bought dozens of CDs if it was done on an impulse - this is stuff I've been after for ages, but have avoided until a time I can afford it. And you don't even know my financial situation - do I work? Did I win Who Want's To Be A Millionaire?
