Well, what with work's ****-up and me not even getting paid SSP last month, or this month...

... or next month(!) things are a little on the lean side.

I've got a bit of money coming it tomorrow so I can do some shopping but I'm hungry NOW!

So, take a look in the cupboard - bread. Staple of my appaling diet.

So - sandwich it is then.

Marmalade. Hmmm, well apart from a butter sandwich that's the only option - so, I figure if it's good enough for Paddington Bear then it's good enough for me.

And you know what, he's right. It's actually really nice - and I don't even really like marmalade on toast (don't ask what it's doing in my cupboard).

So - what stuff have .Orgers eaten when money has gone the way of the dodo, your back's against the wall and hunger cries vengence from the depth of you rapidly shrinking stomach?

117 out of date jaffa cakes, on sale at local shop 10p per pack, so we had a comp to see who could eat the most, tasted exactly the same on way back up. :?

Porridge. I like it with very coarsely milled oats, the Sainsbos ones are pretty good :chef:

I ran out of student loan with a week left of term. All I had was the 5kg bag of rice my mum made me take. Plain boiled rice and tap water anyone?

At Uni I once had to eat a daffodil after losing a wager on the outcome of a Wales v England rugby match.

It was a very public wager on the Friday, and very public daffodil-munch on the Monday, 200+ people packed into the refrectory............. :roll:

Home made pizza. Make some dough, stretch it out and put some veggies and grated cheese on top. Time consuming, but not very expensive.

:-({|= If you're starving, maybe we should do a .org K 'food run' and bring you a parcel of marmite and chocolate

Very random this, but read today that it was Jeremy Clarkson's mum who made the first Paddington Bears and was given the license to make them by Michael Bond. Clarko's job was repping round the country trying to flog 'em.

I'm a mine of useless information

Oh, poor old K. :(

Its not right that such a nice person should be hungry.

My fave is pasta, a can of tuna, a can of sweet corn and a huge squirt of salad cream. Yup salad cream.

Hot or cold its tasty. If it needs texture a bag of smashed up sal n vinegar crisps does the job.

egg fried rice or noodles is a favourite when money is tight.
