Oh dear, spent too much money again....

Hmm, it appears that I have spent far far too much money this week. For someone who is terminally unemployed this is not a hard state to get in, and indeed I manage it most weeks. But this week I really blew out, darn.

Firstly spent about a month's food budget in the health food stores on Monday. (What? Don't look at me like that. :( They do sell edible stuff too, yes really.) Fry's Vegetarian range is very useful for the busy vegan with no time to cook (and the vegan with 100% free time who happens to like fake meaty things and is bone idle).

Don't eat meat! Why???

Did you know every year 45 billion animals are killed worldwide for human consumption! In Germany alone 332 million roasting chickens, 24 million soup chickens, 10 million pigs, 20 million turkeys, 14 million ducks, 4 million cows, 1 million geese, 1 million sheep and 7500 horses are slaughtered.

Anyhow, at the weekend I was browsing through eBay and saw some lovely bunnies.



They were Winnie the Pooh stuff, and only a fiver include p&p, but I missed the auction by 30 seconds. Luckily there were no bids and I talked to the seller and got them sent to me. Yay. :)

Unfortunately I also saw on eBay that Santa Claus The Movie was released on DVD, I had to have that, so ordered it from Play.

Whilst there, I noticed Red Dwarf Season 5 was out, thought wait till Christmas. Then saw a Limited Edition set with a Starbug model in it. Ordered that. :$



Additionally, I decided that I had better buy the new Joanna Newsom album, and as I wanted to qualify for free delivery at amazon decided to get that 'Coope, Boyes and Simpson' album I have been after for months as well, and a Spinners album to pad it out.


Days later, well 2, I was in a book shop waiting for my mum to leave a clothing shop designed exclusively for the older women in society and saw an amazing book.



But I had already spend a fortune and couldn't justify spending the cash (I see Amazon has it 40% off, FFS). So I walked on by, with a little effort. Then my mum turned up and was looking at gardening books. I saw another book.



[It's about the myths and legends surrounding all the different types of native trees in Britain, very interesting.]

This was only a fiver so I decided to buy it. But that would require my card. So my personal logic device in my head decided that as I was buying something I couldn't afford, I might aswell buy the other thing I couldn't afford aswell. Arse.

I now have lots of stuff, and more debt, my vegan society membership also finally came through for the year with a couple of books I ordered. So all in all a ruddy expensive week.

Oh and I put £3 in the Poppy Appeal box, I'm very generous with my bank's money.

Evil money. I'm normally better than this honest. Role on Christmas. :$
