i paid similar to that for my esks - which are reinforced but not steeled ones - i'm torn whether to buy a pair of humbers and have them as a uni pair and leave my esk wellies at home for the wkends etc. or to just get a cheap pair of dickies steelies for £15 to leave in my locker for practicals and take my esks for other things...

and i know what you mean about the overdraft - i've just about spent up all the money i had from my job and i've got my bus pass to buy today (£264) faint!!! which will def make me say hello to mr overdraft again :frown:


Nellied, have you bought it yet? I hear there's a discount code. I bought mine too long ago so it wasn't around to use, but I think you get 10% off if you enter ucas59 or something when buying online :smile:

I get this feeling too...£1591.25 went out today on rent, I nearly cried...suddenly £3 on two lever arched files seemed like nothing :p:

I realised it had got bad when I was trying to decide whether it was worth spending another 50p on pens today. Bic biro or Tesco value...

It's ok...I may or may not have raised the office stationary cupboard last week.

Haha I know...I was stupidly happy (as if I had won the lottery :p:) when my mum gave me £7.50 to pay for my eye test...

@ Phoebe and Nellied: No worries :smile: I was gutted I'd gotten in too quick to use it for myself, but hey, at least I get to feel good telling everyone else about it :wink:

Pyrogena, nicely done. Resourceful. Great quality in a vet :tongue:

Any potential employers reading this, I'd like to make it clear I don't regularly steal pens :biggrin: I had permission...honest.

As a vet you won't need to steal any pens because you'll be bombarded with enough virbac/intervet free rep pens to last you a lifetime :wink:

:woo: 3 cheers for free pens!

I work for a Pharma company now, so everything I got is branded :biggrin: They sure are crappy pens though :frown:

RVC's post-its are amazing. They have some kind of superior adhesive agent that the normal ones just don't, and they were great for note making.

EDIT: If you bring me some during AVS I will give you cookies.
Did anyone ever have one of those where you could rub out the ink with the lid? LOVE those!

Wherever there's space, I think :tongue: I would think they try and sqeeze as many of us as possible into private accomm though (e.g. 2nd, rd, 4th, 5th year houses), instead of halls? That's just a wild guess though, I have no real clue :tongue:
