how about not eating, drinking, smoking? that should save a fair bit

 

Stop spending money on other people!!!!!!

 

Yeh stopping smoking is a very good point... smoking sucks... it ages you and gives you illnesses and makes you skint! Silly Claerie

Yep, the organic food is out, way too expensive. Am I still allowed to drink water?

I can't go dial up til the contract runs out in July... but yeh good idea ta, will do that in july

When I first moved outof home I used to live on £38 a week, and that had to pay for travel to and from work / food / water rates / electric and gas too... fuck knows how I did it :S Always had enough to get pissed on a Friday and a Saturday night too! £5 for 3 pints / 10 cigs and bus fare home! Those were the days

 

Does anyone owe you money? Time to call it in.

Go busking in Huddersfield town centre.

Do we have Ramen noodles in the UK? American friends have always recounted their poor college days of eating Ramen noodles. I gues pot noodles could be similar, or maybe super noodles. If you're creative (like me) or partially insane (like me), you can get a lot of tasty meals from simple super noodles and a few more ingredients. Try adding curry powder to them whileyou're boiling them up, then draining them and adding chopped up pickled onions, them putting them into a tortilla wrap. Delicious and cheap every time!

 

You sure are an extravagant girl, Claire.:&

 

i used to live on cheap pasta and chopped tomatoes... and kwik save noodles... they were cheaper than super noodles... hehe

 

My poison was smash and gravy at uni...was horrible but filling..

 

thats not a bad idea, well potato anyway...

potatoes and beans / spag and chopped toms.... well cheap and tasty

 

pasta, potatoes, tinned tomatoes, onions... other random vegetables like courgettes and marrows.. if you can find a friend with a vegetable patch.. thats always a bonus.. they love giving vegetables away.....
or cryogenic freezing

 

i smoke solid instead of skunk

half price

 

I don't smoke the "waccy baccy" my mum says it makes your eyes turn upside down

 

Yeah and gives you hairy palms apparently.

Or was that wanking

 

what's wanking?

 

Ask Sal

 

that's funny... he said to ask you

 

yup thats just wanking... and dont shave them.. it just becomes an irritation

 

NOW you tell me
