Line your drawers with grease-proof paper and pour in industrial amounts of porridge. Leave to cool and you have a ready source of tasty food to break off and eat in stages, without the need to cook.

Your chest of drawers becomes your larder!

However when one student tried this in the 70s he allegedly became the first case of scurvy that his university had seen in modern times ...

Just wanted to add one that I thought up today about swine flu....



Avoid catching swine flu when traveling on public transport by placing a plastic bag over your head and fastening it around your neck with an elastic band, to avoid airborne contamination Laughing

If you have younger kids or like your own treats.

Carry a small pair of foldable scissors with you. If you buy yourself or the kids sealed bags of treats, cut across the top with the scissors. Don't try to be the hero by pulling the bag apart at the seal, thereby emptying the contents when the bag splits apart.

I swear those bags are purposely designed to split open and throw the contents everywhere.

I ALWAYS keep a foldable pair of scissors in my purse and I use it very often.

As for the plastic bag over the head secured with an elastic band... well.... I knew somebody with a learning disability who used to put a paper bag over her head to hide, but then she started putting any bag over her including the plastic bags ..... I tell you, it was scary.....

Take your own stash (snacks) to the cinema, as not only is it bloody expensive for a drink/food in there but you have to queue for about 30 minutes whilst all the mummies and daddies buy their kids their evening meal for them Laughing

We're lucky for the cinema here, they don't sell much in the way of snacks, but they're in line with, and even cheaper than some of the shops around here. It's only £3 to get in, and they have leather sofas. The train journey is £3.30 return, but £6.30 plus snacks for a night at the cinema is still cheaper than most peoples tickets. That's even if a guard comes along on the train, which they often don't.
