    Skrillex, is that you?
    That's crazy though, £2k impulse buy. I wish i could do that!
    Haha I can't afford it though! Literally just started my graduate job, got my first paycheque, hello macbook pro! I'm rubbish at saving and buy stuff I want, need to sort my life out!!

    1) Food, especially takeaways and junk food :/
    2)Transport. Even with a student oyster card and a rail card everything is still soo damn expensive.
    3)Toping up my student card for printing, buying stuff on campus e.t.c since there are no ATM's on campus i have to regularly top up my card online.

    1) Clothes
    2) Going out/alcohol
    3) Can't really think of anything else I buy which won't come under essentials.. maybe electrical items but that's very rare anyways
    Edit: my sim card would probably make 3rd actually, at £10 a month

    1. Books. Why do I insist on buying from Waterstones? Oh yeah, cos all the cheap bookshops are up at the other end of the high street and I'm lazy.
    2. Music. Buying music is ruinous.
    3. Food. Mostly my addiction to Wrigley's 5 chewing gum and chocolate (not at the same time).
