Today I spent money

Yes, I am technically skint. But I went in the union shop today because I needed to get some plastic wallets for my files, and had a pleasent surprise. Firstly, Tropicana pure premium is only £1.10. This may not sound that important, but Tropicana is the king of all Orange and would cost twice that anywhere else. On top of this, condoms cost 99p for three. This is genius. And it's not the crappy variety that you can get free from the Nurse, they're proper Durex ones. Selection is confined to Featherlight and Extra Strong, but when you only want to use them for rear entry (ehm) they're the best kind anyway.

So eight huzzahs for the union shop.

No huzzahs for the student loan company who cost me a further 46p trying to give them my National Insurance number. I had to go through about 4 or 5 verification questions, and they then asked me for my Secret Answer, which is so secret even I don't know it. I mumbled something about not having it on me, and hung up.

This was quite lucky, as it was only afterwards that I found I didn't have my National Insurance card, and like many other mugs I never learnt my number. Going through the process and then not being able ot give it to them would of been awkwards to say the least.

Interesting side note is that someone told me today that bottom love from the front (I can't explain in too much detail as I've never tried) hurts. I wouldn't know, but I'll have to put it on a to do list.
