    Oh I see pc!

    Yes nina don't do that diet thing, it has been proven that it is actually not good for you at all as you miss out on other important nutrients!

    It's quite scary how many girls, even some women, have taken an interest in me since I've started American Football :s

    Tesco has plenty plenty plenty of cheap **** there. If your supermarket veg isn't cheap enough though, go to the market. Our one here is SO much better value. Obvs things that are in cans/packets are generally a week within their expiration date (not that it often counts for anything) but the produce is all fresh and nice.

    Nina, you really need to learn to cook from fresh. I made a chicken curry last night - it cost me less than a fiver for all the ingredients, and that's about 6 meals worth.

    Also, Alex's right - go to the local market, especially at the end of the day when they're starting to give stuff away almost.

    tescos is by far one of the most expensive supermarkets. If asda were in walking distance, I'd go there :p:. But yeah, given the choice, I'd avoid tescos because it's just too expensive.

    Tesco?! Seriously? Nina, no way haha.

    I wish everyone on my ****ing course would stop asking me for help with everything. They don't even bother asking their tutors, or Google, they come straight to me and I'm getting pissed off with it.

    Tesco isn't at all expensive even in the general scheme of things! Of the main ones it goes Asda, Morrisons/Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose/M&S.

    Plus they always have **** loads of deals on, and when you get a clubcard you get all of if back (for the price of your soul).

    No seriously, block her. I agree with PC, it's creepy :/. Imagine if that girl found out - she'd be mortified.
