Unlucky!
Even before I was into collecting, my boyfriend was, so I did whatever I could to help him (I never realised at the time, but I think it was my subconscious trying to turn me into a collector)!
I spent £500 on CE's for him for our first Christmas together (actually was nearer to £600, but our budget was £500), but that was before we had our son, so we had more money to blow

!
And every time we were in town (or even when it was me on my own), I'd pick up a CE, even if it was just a small one.
The main one I remember was the MW2 Prestige Edition, I found it for £50 only a short while after release, and whilst he was at the other end of the shop, I quickly bought it, then took it over to him
