A Laser
Utterly drunk having come home from the pub one night, I got bored. And decided to shine a laser at my neighbours house for no reason other than to piss them off.

It didn't reach (cheap-ass pointers...)

So I bought a £250 wicked laser. £250 to piss my neighbours off- 3 weeks in the future.

On the upside it'll burn through floppy disks, melt binbags shut, burst balloons across a room and it looks fantastic on either of the inflatable sharks I've bought since the laser (one about 18" long, the other pretty much life-size).

Also, I bought my first car (Ford Probe) on impulse. And my second (BMW 320) a couple of months later because it had nice wheels.
And while walking home from buying the 320 (it wasn't road legal at the time) it started to rain. So I bought a rather nice leather jacket.

The weird thing is that every month I get to about the 11th and run out of cash and have to stock up on the Tesco own-brand noodles. And it's always near the end of the month I buy these things.
So I impulse buy, but I've not got a bloody clue where the money comes from for it!

i'm the same
I get paid on the 15th, all my money's gone by 20th. If I was on 100,000 a year I'd still manage to spend it all before pay day. I know this is true because I used to live off £200 a week living in a £600 a month flat. My ability to adapt, or not, is amazing :)

Aargh
I hadn't thought about those lasers for ages. Thanks for reminding me how much I want one. Not.
