I got an ebay account midway through my degree
and have spent my student loan on many of the following:

- a Sylvanian Families toilet with real flushing sound
- a string of pink fairy lights from China which have since broken
- sew-on patches for every country I've ever visited
- black lace-up goth boots I've worn out of the flat once because I walk like a flid in heels
- black corseted goth dress I've never worn out of the flat due to gaining weight from having a desk job and not looking as good in it any more
- a Japanese sailor fuku outfit that sort of fits

The worst thing lately is working in central Ashford, which means I usually spend my lunchbreak in the shops in town, and I often come back to work with total crap:

- a coaster that says "get out of my way, I'm fabulous"
- a USB hoover that has less power than a Toyota Prius
- a USB hub that broke within a month and prevented Windows from starting up
- 8" black patent heels to wear to an internal awards ceremony that wouldn't look out of place in a Soho dungeon and nearly crippled me the one night I wore them
- a black lily plant (today, in fact)
- a "USB vibrating massage ball" (even I admit this one was a joke, but it was one English pound!)

Technically, too the PS3 was an impulse buy; then-Mr Maladicta and I had decided to go into town for something to do and realised we had enough cash, plus trading in his 360, to acquire one, and came home minus 360 and games, with PS3 and LittleBigPlanet.

I've just bought a new PC and it's cost me most of this month's wages (which hit my account last Friday). I need to be kept off the internet and out of the shops for the next month...

Bloody Ashford
I made the mistake of going in that bloody music shop near The County to get a set of guitar strings one lunchtime.

Bought a Zoom pedal, handfuls of plectrums, an SM58 (why? I can't sing) and a whole host of other stuff. So what should have cost me a fiver ran to 200 quid.

Bloody Ashford town. I work through lunch now.

Flushing toilet FTW!
I too have had the Sylvanian Families flushing toilet. It was ace.

Was the USB hoover a Henry? If so, my brother got one for Christmas and it hoovered up fuck all.
