    When I moved into my first flat at age 17, all my cash went on a deposit, I survived on instant mash and gravy granules for 3 weeks, I didn't have any pots either just a kettle. I craved fruit and veg, I remember the first thing I bought when I got paid was an apple, I was sure I was malnourished.

    If you use this code... VDIOX0RN on https://www.milkandmore.co.uk you get £20 of shopping for £10 AND as you set up a DD, you won't have to pay until the DD date.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    Otherwise, with a bit of careful planning you should be able to get by, altho might get a bit boring.

    Good luck and come back and tell us what you have made :)
