Entertainment a-la cheap

I have a lot of extra expenses for February, so I am going to need to find cheap ways of entertaining myself...

My thoughts thus far are:

- Spend a morning taking photos in the docklands (it doesn't get expensive until I really like them and want to enlarge and frame them)
- watch borrowed DVDs (and yes Rich, that includes the Godfather series, so you WILL have it back by the end February)
- sorting and organising things that I've been putting off for months

I am also going to hunt down some inexpensive recipes:
- Shepherd's pie
- Mom's stew
- the beans and pasta that have been in my cupboards for ages...

I'd be happy for any suggestions for either of the above!

    Oriental- Style Chicken Noodle Soup
    (cheap & easy, unlike Fraggle)

    3 cups water
    1 pack chicken flavor ramen noodles (also known by title Mr.)
    2 cups cut-up cooked chicken (I used leftovers)
    2 medium stalks bok choy (cut up)
    1 medium carrot (also cut up)
    1 tsp sesame oil

    Boil water, cook noodles, add rest.
    Add flavor packet and oil at end.

    *I also added celery and green onions, simply because I had them. The bok choy and sesame really make it yumbabumba. And I used chicken soup stock because I didn't have the Mr. Noodle package but just the noodles.

    I made a whole vat. Three lunchs and the rest to the freezer tomb.
