You're going to push me baby, right to the edge of right and wrong

I just popped to Sainsburys and on my way back Jamie (the girl currently working on the bar) said "You've got a busy night tonight. There are thirty French students coming in." My immediate thought was "Young French girls! Excellent!" They should make the night a little more entertaining than Thursdays normally are, at any rate.

I bought some butter at Sainsburys (we'll see how well it lasts at room temperature...). I've pretty much abandoned any idea of eating healthily as it's just too damn difficult with no kitchen and a limited budget. But if I slather some butter onto my hot cross buns instead of just eating them dry then at least I'm adding some saturated fat into the mix and muting the blood sugar spike somewhat. Of course it doesn't do anything for the gluten, but I'll just have to put up with that for a while. It's only a few weeks before I can cut it from my diet completely (I'm very interested to see how I feel after a couple of weeks of no gluten, especially given the link between gluten sensitivity and depression). But in the meantime wheat is cheap calories, and that's what I need.

I have six paydays until I leave, so I really need to save as much as possible. I think paying out for a passport is probably worth the cash, given its effect on finding employment, but other expenditures need to be cut right back. This move's going to be a little tighter than many, but it's doable.
