Probably went to Camden and blew it [all £40 ish of it] with nothing to show for it but a few bracelets, a t-shirt and a crepe.

Can't remember what I bought with my first paper round pay (I was 13), but with my first proper pay I bought a video iPod, which I still have :biggrin:

I bought an Xbox One!
I saved up a couple weeks worth of savings at Maccie D's and brought it along with 6 games!

A car.

I work full time since its summer, earn around £300 a week (no tax) plus tips. I just spend it on clothes&food. I take my brothers out sometimes.

It was only about 100 per week from ToysRus so I think I bought Call of Duty 2, some decent aftershave and then got drunk at the pub.

Nothing notable. I lived the exact same money tight life style I have lived all my life. Basically food and other things I have to buy (like transport, doing stuff with friend) then books and video games. I was on a temp job and didn't know how long I would be unemployed again afterwards and I tohught I would be going back to uni then so I just saved up. Considering it's been 5 months since my last job that was a wise move.

Hiya just wanted to know what people brought with their first paycheck.

Unfortunatly my family has this tradition where the whole paycheck goes to my parents so i didn't buy anything. Aaaww shuckkkss!

However with my 2nd paycheck i invited my mates round for a night in and ordered a MASSIVE takeaway order all of which was on me.
