Have you also tried looking at the Cooking On A Bootstrap website for ideas? Jack Monro had £10 a week to spend on food for herself and her son, and her recipes are based round that.

Hey Capricorn, thank you! Yes Ive seen it, its great. I’m just struggling as I have to eat so much! Going to go through the fridge and see what meals I can make. Going to need some more milk today, we go through about 4 pints a day at the moment!

Gosh I cant tell you how touched I am by the offers of help and support I have had by PM. People are so kind and thoughtful. Im really hoping I can make the £20 from foreign notes last a week. But put some things on eBay tomorrow so that hopefully I can have money into my paypal account by Next Sunday/Monday if they sell. Living on a wing and a prayer a bit. But fingers crossed. Thank you all so much again xxx
