What's the most extravagant purchase based on impulse buying, that you have ever bought! And have maybe thought, should I really have spent that much money on such an item!!
Mines a Star Wars book that cost me £100!!

If there was something that I really wanted....but wasn't sure of spending the money, a good friend of mine would allways talk me into it by saying "Look at you'll have though!!"
I allways remember that is was at that time of the month when it is one week before payday, and you try and think to yourself...."If I buy this item....will I be able to last the week??"

...another extravagant purchase whilst I was doing a study on animation in school, was 3 Disney sericels - they were £300 each!!!
Let's just say that these days....my spending habbits are a lot more controlled! And I think to myself "Do I really need that.....or where are you gonna put it??"

A widescreen TV. I regret buying it because everything is still normal format and the screen isn't filled properly :(
(and I refuse to stretch the image) Well, at least it wasn't very expensive...

well I bought a nice portable cd player for like 275 bucks, but it wasn't really impulse buying as I planned it, and researched a bit for a few days, and it was an excellent purchase I must say...

I just woke up one day a month and a half ago and decided I needed a Playstation 2 and Metal Gear Solid 2, for no reason. So I went to Walmart with 500 bucks from my student loan thingy and bought it, making my mom cry.

The PS2 was NOT worth it, but I needed a next gen system of some kind... I only play it like once a week. DEFINITELY not worth it!!!! I still love it though, and Metal Gear Solid 2 was amazing, mostly. ANd I got Devil May Cry the other day, sweet sweet game.

If you see a copper then it is no problem - because you can still type on your WAP phone
Besides if you are using a stolen WAP phone, surely the business person would have reported it stolen, to stop others from using it!!
I think your cover is blown my friend ;)
