    Go out on an all night boozer, spend it on something you like if its enough or save it until you have enough to buy something you want.

    In my opinion id try and get an mp3 player or a mini disc player if you don't have one at the moment as they are brilliant.

    BEST IDEA SO FAR.

    Homebrew kit? You're legal now, so why not make your own? I did that a few years ago and it's VERY rewarding.

    You'll need:

    Mixing Bucket - £2
    Brewing Keg - £30 for a decentish beginners job
    CO2 canister - £5?
    Bunch of tubing - no idea
    homebrew powder - £5 etcetera

    I brewed up 60 pints worth of strong stout in around 6 weeks. It's ready to drink after two, but it's not very nice then. You're best leaving a few weeks to mature, then get a couple of mates around and you're sorted :>

    As long as you mixed it nicely, you let it mature, and you don't disturb it whilst it ferments, you'll have a cracking load of beer. Not necessarily stout, either.

    Would not of thought so as they do sell make your own beer and wine kits.

    I think it's illegal to make sprits though.
