I did a number of brave things today. I had an appointment with a dietician, which meant filling out a more-or-less accurate food diary, which was more stressful than I would have thought. Then I saw my GP and persuaded her to give me a longer term prescription so I don't have to pay as often.
This is good as this morning I looked at my finances, worked out what the flatmates owe for bills etc and realised that I have almost nothing to survive on this month, so I hastened to cancel my latest Amazon order and am now trying to think of ways to stay fed watered and entertained this month on a handful of thin air. My resources include:
All polite suggestions welcome :-(

My resources include:
- 19 City Single bus vouchers
- 2 vouchers for free cinema tickets at UGC
- 892 Boots advantage card points (enough for three lunches or so)
- A Subway card worth one free 6" sub
- Readily portable food enough for five more lunches once the kitchen at work is back in shape next week.
- A lot of rice, pasta and ready sauces but very little meat or veg
- £12 worth of Tesco Clubcard vouchers (I think, I have to check when I get home)
- Enough vodka and rum to take to parties, but no mixers
- One library card
- One imagination (a little rusty)
All polite suggestions welcome :-(

I'd suggest using your tesco vouchers to buy protein (meat, fish, eggs or soya) and fruit. Tinned tuna, salmon etc is cheap and good for pasta sauces and toasties. Eggs are excellent for snacks and sandwiches.

My suggestions for saving money are: don't drink alcohol, drink water at clubs [easy for me], selling tat, bringing your own lunch to work, and join the library/reread books. I am going to make a real effort with the last two; I'm determined to get a BMW R1150GS, which is a large, expensive motorcycle, so I need to save my pennies.

And Sunday is the festival parade, starting at 230pm.
As for being fed,

Other depraved people may want to come too, if you know any. I'm only paying for your ticket though.

Certainly before Saturday.
