Surely there are two possible ways to solve the problem. The first is being addressed by not overspending. What about the second solution of raising your income? Have you got anything to sell?

Good idea don

What’s your bike like? I might be willing to trade you a potato for it.

i can send you a tin of beans, £4.40 next day delivery.

If you come to Leeds and sort my headset out I’ll cook you a chilli.

Otherwise, go to the most ethically diverse part of your local town, buy potatoes, rice, stock cubes, tins of kidney beans and fresh veg. Ethnic minorities (round here at least) tend to cook more, so basic ingredients are cheaper.

Also, buy bruised fruit from the market, brown bananas etc, through them into a blender for decent, often free smoothies.

apologies 😳 (i meant next thursday).some great tips there everyone 😀 don simon agree with you (just didn’t want to sell anything if possible/but can sell some computer games as a last resort 😉
