I had contemplated the loan route
as a loan from The Bank Of Mummy And Daddy Maladicta is harder to negotiate than peace proceedings in the Middle East.

Better off with a mates loan
Assuming payday is the end of the month you've 12 days to fill. If you've got starch and carbs then you need cheap protein to put with it. I recommend borrowing a tenner off a friend and learning to cook (if you can't already) - cooking in bulk and freezing is very cheap. You might get tired of cottage pie, chili and keema curry by the end of the month though.

I'm off work for the next couple of days, hence being on b3ta
but will need to borrow a couple of quid just so I can get some food in; flatmate buys his own shopping and was going to get his on Friday, so all I'll need to do is borrow a couple of quid off someone to get some meat in, and then make it last as far as possible. And if I'm eating better and walking to work, it can't be a bad thing, as well as teaching me not to be a twat with money!

I have the ultimate secret ingredient for chilli
1 dessert spoon of black treacle before serving (assuming you've made a 4-person sized chilli).

Once you have tried this you will praise me as a culinary genius, I'll bet my testes on it.

sounds good
I don't have black treacle though

my secret chilli ingredient is jack daniels, and lots of it
