Nothing worse than having lodgers steal your food IMO... Go hungry, it's the only decent thing to do.

Also check for ants.

They really make cornflakes taste funny, and not in an amusing sort of way.

Maybe I should donate said items - TO said food banks. Nice to be rich (ish) and do my bit.

You should be building up a war chest over a six month contract, but needs must so go for it. PM psychocandy for advice on food banks and hardship grants.

In the cupboard is an open pack of corn flakes that are still in date, that I bought and opened just before starting said role. Just wondering whether I should have a bowl for breakfast?

Oh, same question for an open pack of Alpen.

If not, pour milk on them to make them... soft.

Yes, they'll be fine.
