I eat takeaway every night but never pay – I make poor choices when it comes to my food, but there's no way I'm cooking

The Sun26-06-2025
A WOMAN who eats takeaway every night has defended her unique food plan, but admitted she makes "poor choices" when it comes to her dinner.
Saffron regularly shares videos of herself tucking into a pizza or greasy meal of an evening, and has found herself criticised for how frequently she relies on takeout food.

However, in a new TikTok, she explained that she saves herself during the day so that she can chow down guilt free at dinner time.
"Eating really late means there's hardly any options available, especially where I live," she said.
And given that she relies on "pay pigs" to buy her meals for her, she always chooses to collect them from the food outlets.
"There aren't many places you can really collect from," Saffron added.
"So yes, we've got another Domino's."
But she admitted that if she had to use her own money, she wouldn't choose the same food.
"Today with my own money I have had one meal, which was a green vegan juice, and an acai bowl - a mini one as well," she continued.
"I don't snack, so it's not like I'm eating these big meals and then snacking all day, so I'm not making excuses for it."
So while her "meal choices are poor", when she buys her food herself, they "aren't that bad".
"I do have one other thing to say as well about all of this," she concluded.
I was size 22 eating FIVE takeaways a week - now I'm told I look like Gemma Owen after 8st weight loss without jabs
"A lot of the people judging me in the comment section, I'm pretty sure that you guys do other things that are worse than eating!"
As predicted, the comments was full of people criticising Saffron for her love of takeaways.
"Domino's is processed crap, what's proud to be about it?" one wrote.
"Grow up!"
"That's pure toxic processed garbage that will end in disease/cancer," another said.
"I feel bad for anyone who is naive like this."
How to save money on pizza
TAKEAWAY pizzas taste great but they can hit you hard on your wallet. Here are some tips on how to save on pizza:
Cashback websites - TopCashback and Quidco will pay you to order your pizza through them. They're paid by retailers for every click that comes to their website from the cashback site, which eventually trickles down to you. So you'll get cashback on orders placed through them.
Discount codes - Check sites like VoucherCodes for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order.
Make you own topping - One savvy customer noticed that Domino's charges up to 70p MORE for pizzas on its menu compared to ordering the same one through the "create your own" option. It's worth trying out to see if it makes a difference before you place your next order.
Buy it from the shops - It might not taste exactly the same but you'll save the most money by picking up your favourite pizza from your local supermarket. Some Asda stores sell freshly made ones from the pizza counter where prices start at £2.
"There's about 4000 calories in that, and 700 calories in an acai bowl, so you gained about a pound today - wake up!" a third sighed.
However, others defended Saffron, with one asking: "Why so many hate comments?
"She's gorgeous and seems so sweet and lovely.
"Everyone lives their life differently and does things their own way.
"Keep doing you and ignore the negativity!"
"Why are people so pressed in these comments?" another questioned.
"She's not making you eat it!"
"I agree with you 100%, food with my own money is just diabolical," a third laughed.
"However food being paid for by others, I'm straight on Ubereats!
"Don't listen to jealous people in the comments who would probably do worse things than eating."
"'Random men pay for my food' well what other use do they have?" someone else joked.
"Living the dream here! And I will never stop loving your honest videos!"
"As someone who's pregnant and hates any food at home right now, if anyone wants to pay for me to have daily takeaways, I'm totally okay with that," another laughed.
While someone else asked: "Would you ever be worried about the random guys showing up when you go to collect the food?"
"I'm really not because the chances of anything happening by a complete stranger is a real thing unfortunately," Saffron replied.
"And most of these guys are from areas hours and hours away from me!"

Adès, Leith, Marsey: Orchestral Works album review – an impressive collection marks a productive association

Since 2023 Thomas Adès has been artist-in-residence with the Hallé Orchestra. He has featured as composer, conductor and pianist in his appearances with the orchestra, and all his concerts have included new or nearly new works, both his own and by composers he admires. As the residency comes to an end, this collection brings together pieces he has conducted in Manchester; there are four by Adès himself, alongside William Marsey's Man With Limp Wrist and Oliver Leith's Cartoon Sun. Of the four pieces by Adès, only one is substantial. Aquifer, which he wrote last year for Simon Rattle and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, is a densely packed 17-minute movement, which contains enough ideas to power a symphony at least twice as long, before being brought to a halt by the most common-or-garden of cadences. Tower – for Frank Gehry is a fanfare, and both Shanty and Dawn, composed during lockdown in 2020, are pieces that work wonders with repeated phrases. Marsey's musical narrative, in eight 'scenes', is a strangely evocative succession of musical ghosts, inspired by paintings by Salman Toor, while Leith's wacky processional, punctuated by enormous climaxes, leaves an exhilarating impression. It's altogether an impressive disc, a fine record of a productive association, though it's a shame there was no room on it for the exceptional performance of his own Tevot that Adès conducted in Bridgewater Hall too.

Properly posh prom dresses your teen will love

For a teenager, what to wear to prom can feel like one of the most defining choices of the year — often unhelpfully coming just as exams have drained their mental energy. Sure, GCSEs and A-Levels are important, but it's hard to underplay the sheer joy of swanning out onto the dance floor in the perfect dress. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue In the past, the aim was to channel princess vibes in layers of tulle, ballerina-style skirts and sickly pink colours. However, intel from the teenage daughters of our trusted editors reveals things are a lot more slinky in 2025. Those winning the title of Best Dressed at any event this summer are likely to be wearing 1990s-inspired bias-cut slip dresses undoubtedly influenced by the Olsen twins' The Row and the quiet luxury trend. For mothers who cherish tradition, however, the Regency revival continues thanks to the influence of Bridgerton. Elegant gowns, sequin embellishments and voluminous ruffles courtesy of Zimmermann, Carolina Herrera and Emilia Wickstead will never look out of place at prom. Make no mistake, the pressure on prom is perpetual but to make things easier we've rounded up the best luxury prom dresses below — guaranteed to please even the most discerning of teens. Blame the Olsen twins and their quiet luxury brand The Row, but Gen Z are far more likely to be found in a bias-cut satin gown than a princess skirt this prom season. Luckily Galvan is the king of the minimalist silhouette. The brand's Sienna style is defined by a full length hemline, elegant high neckline and sophisticated scarf detail to the back, and available in light blue, burnt orange and bronze satin. £1,495, Galvan at Net-a-Porter Another bias cut beauty, Australian designer Rebecca Vallance's electric blue slip dress features an elegant cowl neck but is still school soirée appropriate thanks to the delicate lace underlay which acts like a little camisole beneath. £770, Rebecca Vallance at Net-a-Porter Norma Kamali's red satin gown turns to reveal a delicately draped, low cowl back. While it looks fiddly, a near invisible strap sits along the very top of the back keeping everything in place. The fishtail hemline adds beautiful movement too. £445, Norma Kamali at Net-a-Porter Although a less is more approach seems to be popular with teens of late, if you're going to wear a pearl-adorned dress at any time in your life it should really be to prom. Inspired by the La Peregrina pearl, worn by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Rebecca Vallance's gown features a studded halterneck bodice, fitted waist and full length skirt. £1,170, Rebecca Vallance at Harrods A black prom dress is a timeless choice – one your teen is unlikely to regret when they look back on photographs decades later. The perfect combination of cool and classic, this Giambattista Valli romantic dress is crafted from a weighty cotton poplin and has a tulle skirt underlay to create a flared shape. The floral-appliques all around the neckline and corset-style bodice are a pretty touch too. £1,914, Giambattista Valli at Mytheresa The epitome of prom, this Carolina Herrera strapless gown is perfect for those with a penchant for princess silhouettes. It has been carefully crafted using twenty layers of striking red tulle and features subtle crystal embellishments across the bodice. The drop waist and cropped hem keep things feeling modern. £3,969, Carolina Herrera at Mytheresa Costarellos knows how to make tulle cool. The Athens-based brand takes inspiration from ancient Greek mythology and culture to create its unique evening wear. Crafted from alternating tiers of French tulle and Chantilly lace, this Trissa style was made to be worn to a ball. £1,704, Costarellos at Mytheresa Royal-approved brand Emilia Wickstead's Abella embellished dress demonstrates the contemporary appeal of sequins in 2025. In the place of the standard sparkly stuff there's clever constructed floral appliques in clusters framing the neckline. Crafted from bonded satin this structured prom dress has a classic fit and flare shape that alludes to vintage 1950s styles while feeling distinctly modern £2,400, Emilia Wickstead at Mytheresa Featuring a corseted, shirred bodice and pretty flower petal details on the adjustable, tie-bow straps, Zimmermann's lilac dress is perfect for the hotter, summer months. While some prom dresses cut from satin tend to cling in the heat, this lightweight silk linen organza is both structured and flowing. £1,120, Zimmermann at Mytheresa This Valentino Garavani prom dress — which has been cut using a weighty silk gazar to emphasize its beautiful structure — looks like it's been taken straight from a scene in Bridgerton. Opt for a sleek updo to showcase the ruffled one-shoulder neckline. £2,402, Valentino Garavani at The Outnet The Times Luxury is brought to you by the award-winning team behind the Times Luxx magazine.

Oasis reunion: A high-five and a hug - the gestures were there, but ultimately it was all about the music

Oasis have reunited on stage for the first time in almost 16 years - with brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher sharing a high five and the briefest of hugs as they closed a performance that for fans was more than worth the wait. After the split in 2009, for many years Noel said he would never go back - and for a long time, as the brothers exchanged insults through separate interviews (and on social media, for Liam), it seemed pretty unlikely to ever happen. But now, here they are. As they walked out on stage at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, all eyes were on the Gallaghers for a sense of their relationship - dare we say it, friendship? - now after all these years. There was no reference to their fall-out or making up, but the gestures were there - lifting hands together as they walked out for the first time. Headlines and tweets of speculation and then confirmation of the reunion filled the screens as the show started. "This is happening," said one, repeatedly. In the end, it was all about the music. Liam has received criticism in the past for his voice not being what it once was, but back on stage with his brother tonight he delivered exactly what fans would have hoped for - a raw, steely-eyed performance, snarling vocals, and the swagger that makes him arguably the greatest frontman of his day. This was Oasis sounding almost as good as they ever have. 2:56 They opened with Hello, because of course, "it's good to be back". And then Acquiesce, and those lyrics: "Because we need each other/ We believe in one another." The song is said to be about friendship in the wider sense, rather than their brotherly bond and sibling rivalry, but you can't help but feel like it means something here. Over two hours, they played favourite after favourite - including Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Supersonic and Roll With It. In the mid-section, Liam takes his break for Noel to sing Talk Tonight, Half The World Away and Little By Little; the tempo slows but there is by no means a lull, with the fans singing all his words back to him. Liam returns for hits including Stand By Me, Slide Away, Whatever and Live Forever, before sending the crowd wild (or even wilder) with Rock And Roll Star. When the reunion announcement was made last summer, it quickly became overshadowed by the controversy of dynamic pricing causing prices to rocket. As he has done on X before, Liam addressed the issue on stage with a joke. "Was it worth the £4,000 you paid for the ticket?" he shouted at one point. "Yeah," the crowd shouts back; seemingly all is forgiven. After Rock And Roll Star, the dream that very quickly became a reality for this band, Noel introduced the rest of the group, calling Bonehead a "legend". Then he acknowledges all their young fans, some who maybe weren't even born when they split. "This one is for all the people in their 20s who've never seen us before, who've kept this shit going," he says before the encore starts with The Masterplan. Noel follows with Don't Look Back In Anger, and the screens fill with Manchester bees in reference to the arena bombing and how the song became the sound of hope and defiance for the city afterwards. 1:31 During Wonderwall, there's a nice touch as Liam sings to the crowd: "There are many things I would like to say to you, but I don't speak Welsh." It is at the end of Champagne Supernova, which closes the set, that it happens; Noel puts down his guitar, and they come together for a high-five and a back-slap, a blink-and-you'd miss it hug. 0:26 "Right then, beautiful people, this is it," Liam had told the crowd as he introduced the song just a few minutes earlier. "Nice one for putting up with us over the years." From the roar of the audience, it's safe to say most people here would agree it's been worth it.
