    I don't see how studying for the Junior or not makes it a waste of money. A good laptop is never a waste of money!

    50 quid, enough to go out?

    I'd manage with a tenner. :eek:

    Going to The Flaming Lips in Manchester in November. Sorted :D

    On the topic of Bulmers, has anyone told someone that they won't be drinking tomorrow night, and been met with a look of genuine horror? What's up with that?

    No, it wasn't horror. It was more of a incredulous look, then a thoughtful look, THEN the look of horror swiftly followed by an outraged look.

    O__o

    What amazed me most is the amount of times I was asked about it. And I don't think anyone asked me whether I think I'll do well or not.

    I hate ignorant ****ers like that. I don't get much of it my school to be honest though.

    My school sort of attracts people from bad neighbourhoods...

    I don't have anything against people from bad neighbourhoods. I am myself. But most of them are dicks.

    I can just picture the conversations tomorrow. (Well, Friday more like! :D )

    "So howja do?"
    "Great, ended up getting my stomach pumped in the A&E."
    "Aww, I only sexually abused a random woman on the street."
    "You think THAT's bad? I didn't even puke."

    I dont know what I'll be getting but i might get something for doing well. One of my friends is getting 50 euro for every B/A he gets. So he's now getting 350 euro


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭Diarmsquid


    I got around €150 when I did it last year. And my parents aren't the kind that would do that at all. I was thrilled, but a lot of it had to do with me doing a lot better than they (or I) were expecting.
    That lasted me ages..

    I got €50. Was expecting 20! :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭Acid_Violet


    My sister got me a cake, a bottle of champagne which I'm going to open with my friends on Saturday and a facial for some odd but nice reason. I got 50 in the post today from cousins and I'm going to probably get more later also.

    Going to use success as a bargaining tool for so much though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 416 ✭✭oRlyYaRly


    I spent 30 of my 50 on...



    ...an Applied Maths book! :D

    I figured it was an ideal way to spend money I got for good grades but my father was shocked when he heard and gave me another 30.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 735 ✭✭✭BlueSpiral


    I got 50, but that was to be spent on the JC night.

    I also won 16 euros and got given 20 euros for being cocky. :p And I'm not going to explain, but lets just say I've got a gamblin' problem now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭Killaqueen!!!


    Just about money and drinking on the junior night:

    If you're parents gave you like 50euro just for the night..are they saying "go on buy some drink have a good time" because honestly, who's going to spend that much in one night. I bought 2 bottles of water when I was out totally to around 4euro. What else do they expect you to spend it on? Just wondering..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,016 ✭✭✭lilmissprincess


    I got 50 euro for getting good marks, and its my birthday on Sunday, that present is already sorted so basically I'm going to have a good weekend.... a LAPTOP????? Can I adopt ur parents for a while?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    After I get the laptop :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭Acid_Violet


    This is great! I'm basically getting everything I want so I'm going to milk it for till the end of the week before the magic wears off. At this rate I'll have saved up for inter-railing at the end of 6th year by Monday!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,586 ✭✭✭sock puppet


    I got 100 euro off my mam and my dad will be giving me another 100. That makes 200.:D Much more than i expected. I might be able to afford that american strat now.

    The joys of having divorced parents.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,370 ✭✭✭Timans


    I got €150

    Couldn't believe it. I'm very grateful. Think I'll pre-order myself a Wii.

    Zelda + Wii = Happiness.

    I wasnt given anything by my parents. when i asked for money to go out they were like no fuk off you were working last weekend so you have your own money, an i was like fine. Didnt expect anything really and i go to a 'posh' school. somehow none of my friends got anything for there results. Goes to show how misjudged our school is.
