So you lived on about £2.85 a day.
That's really interesting if it includes food as well.
Did you batch cook meals to take in to work with you?

no i bought the 5 for £3.50 ready meals from tesco's or sainsburys and i have ham and lettuce Sandwichs for lunch and cereal in the morning. The rest is for me to spend on myself.... i.e. going out........

You get 5 meals for £3.50? Or 5 meals costing £3.50 each? Am baffled! Doh! Would be interested though....may be I could start at £35 a week and then work downwards?

Just out of interest what are the meals you can get 5 for £3.50? Are there diff ones? I havent noticed them, they could be a good money saver for me.

Thanks
