What's your most recent purchase? (Non-Alchemy)

:ohmy: Never heard of that before. As it is, my mum buys bottles of ink off of eBay for really cheap and we manually inject it back into the printer cartridges with syringes when they start running out..

I only bought my earmuffs because I was looking for ages and now stores are preparing to stock new stuff - So they were on sale. ^.^

You'll all probably find this pretty stupid but...

I bought a new graphics card. I've fried my old one and I'm getting a new PC in 2 days. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact it's an AGP one when my new system will likely need PCI-E.

We had no male-female cables, only male-male so I couldn't use onboard graphics and PC World didn't have them for sale.

So yeah...£45 for a new graphics card because I couldn't go without my computer for two days. Not too bad, my dad'll put it in his computer since it doesn't use a fan.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, it's an NVIDIA GeForce 6200 A.

Syringes? Wouldn't that cause leaks?

Nope. What we do is inject the ink into the cartridge, which for our printer is all spongey..You then have to turn them upside down and have a bunch of paper towels underneath to let any excess leak out..When it stops leaking, you can stick the cartridge back in.

I don't know if it's the same for other printers, but ours is a HP printer, if that makes any difference.

I'm not sure...

Anyway, today I bought the first volume of manga for Black Butler and a iron-on patch from Stargate SG-1.

I've bought new cups and glasses. In the last month I've managed to break exactly half of those that I had. I still can't really understand how I managed to do that, becasue I've never been so clumsy. Maybe all that exam stress can be blamed for it.
