Tinned 'chick pea asda dahl' for lunch, mircowaved - I really must go to tesco.

I do big saucepans of curry - they always taste better on the second day, plus you can freeze some and reheat on a day when you haven't got time to cook! (Gosh - I sound so smug)

Haha insomniac, I may give that a go! I'm pleased to say you two, that I've now been shopping - "have you got a clubcard?" - what has become of my bank holiday weekend?!!

8p or 80p? I wasn't aware you could buy much these days for 8p.

I've seen yoghurts in Asda for 7 or 8p also!!!

Yep, 8p!!!!!!!
They come in 3 flavours - chicken, bacon or curry - but I'd stear clear of the latter if I were u!

In Chinatown (Manchester) you can get a box of 30 packets of Ramen Noodles for £3.00

Ramen is my lifeblood.

Chrisrolinski...I love Chinatown, though I often find the fruit and veg. somewhat more expensive there! All this talk of food is making me hungry (again).

They do great Mangoes in Chinatown though. But yeah, very expensive!

The bakery there is amazing - just try to resist!

Why not make a nice big pan of stew? It lasts for days, and tastes better than any supermarket ready-crap does. The making it gives a break from work (though not too long), and helps rejuvenate the soul. To accompany my stew I use lumps of home-made bread made with Lidl ready to bake packs - dead easy and tasting authentic. If you're studying you need proper food. Too much crap, too many take-aways doe shave an effect, believe me. I find the easiest way to wean myself off crap is to read the ingredients label. Sausages with 45% meat - no, ta. Mechanically recovered chicken? . Umpteen additives... you get the drift.

My partner makes the best Irish stew with fresh soda bread. I will get him on the case!! I'm in stress-mode at the moment but did manage to get out of the house today for a nice burrito in a place nearby. Fresh brain food at last!
