food youve ever had in your fridge/cupboard etc
im running on empty now,till my cheque from work clears at midnightat the moment i have half a box of soggy cornflakes (no milk)
a tin of mandarins
some dried peas
and some celery sprouting loads of leavesYou have more than me!
Well.. I remember when times were tough in college and we had to spend our hard unearned cash on important essentials like booze and smokes.
Uh huh, we were reduced to living on lingering food masses in an almost always derelict fridge .. Curious culinary mutilations that were inevitably either very new cheese or very old meat :?Memories..
i can remember in about 1983 when i lived in bedsit land, everyone in the house had spent way too much money going out at the weekend and no one in the house had enough food to make a proper meal for themselves……..there were six of us and we pooled what we had and chucked it into a huge pan ……….baked beans, sweetcorn, ravioli, peas,spaghetti rings and vegetable soup………simmered slowly for about an hour…….served in bowls…….we polished off the lot and it was fab! :D
good times :D
I lived at home for my student days but my parents were never there.
As long as there was cat food and dog food for my pets, everything was ok.
I used to make do with a vege burger from the kebab house just before Camden tube station.
I wonder if it’s still there.
When i first started working i used to earn about £16 a week, living in a caravan, i paid £10 a week rent and had to run my motorbike too, i would buy a box of powdered / dry chicken supreme, just mix with hot water, and a sachet or two of instant smash and a loaf of bread and butter. That would pretty much last me the week for food, i don’t recall actually minding it either, sounds rather grim now :?

If it wasn’t for the motorbike I would have said you were about 150 years old. :wink:
Nope, just part time work, on £1.03 an hour at 16 years old. Was pretty reasonable money down here for that age at the time.

Back in 1988 when I was 14.
When I was 14 during school holidays I used to work in the East End of London in the sweat shops…sewing hems on denim skirts and jeans…3p per unit peace work…my wages used to always be around the £100 mark…………the good ole days :lol:
