A little bit of mayo (to thicken it up, didn't want it to make my bread go soggy), some chopped jalapenos and REAL sun-dried tomatoes, Tabasco sauce and copious amounts of black pepper.
But if I'd been in the mood for plain tuna mayo, I'd probably have used half and half mayo & salad cream - that's right, I dress both ways!

I reckon they only have their place because people are such fiscal spastics in the first place.If people had mandatory education on how borrowing and things work from a young age and weren't allowed to say "I just don't get it, I've not got a maths brain" then we'd be in a position to say that these kind of short term loans were unnecessary.

I used mine from when I went from being unemployed for 4 months to being employed.So I got the job mid month, I wouldn't be paid until the end of the next month and my dole money stopped. I didn't want to borrow the money off my parents and I didn't have a credit card but I needed £200 to get me too and from work, get food and stuff for those 6 weeks.
Cost me £250 to pay back, but I was making shit loads more than I was on the dole so I didn't care.

Yep, it's a big problem.I'm suprised if anyone would be able to save a thing on the dole let alone 6 weeks worth of it.
They said I could apply for a £1000 hardship loan to pay off over 12 months but because I didn't need that much I was unlikely to get approved, and I couldn't apply for anything smaller.
