3. No.
4. No.

9. Got new allergy (crazy cross reactive latex allergy).
10. Anything I bought to grow my stash.
11. My ex-husband's, I think. In fact most people close to me for reason or another.
12. Hmm... Not appalled, but depressed in certain sense: Sol's.
13. Percentage wise most of my money went to rent. But if we discard those "normal" expenses I'd say that most of my money went to... getting new stash!

    Good Will Hunting
