I can't spend any more money this week: I think I have around £20 to spend all week.
Any suggestions on how I can live on nothing are appreciated.

Arrange for all your working friends to meet up with you one at a time each night of the week to entertain you and take you out to dinner. Being in gainful employment they will feel duty bound to pay for the poor penniless student's dinner and drinks. Before letting them go home, make sure you lay on the penniless bit with a trowel so that they give you a tenner. By the end of the week you should be fully fed, entertained and seventy quid up.

Alternatively go to Uxbridge Tescos and stock up on their "value" baked beans, bread, soup, pasta etc. You can eat as much as a Scotty on a fiver!

Considering I've got to live off of £0 over the next five days I would suggest you raid the freezers of your friends, family and of course your own, and find anything that looks like it's been there for ages and that most likely won't kill you (quickly).

But be warned you better like mince beef, alot of mince beef.

Yus! I think I am ok for lunchy things - it's just meals - can you eat beans on toast as a main meal for five days? heh doesn't sound advisable

Rice and lentils and (non-pre-packaged) vegetables...

(Um. Didn't intend to look quite that militantly veggie. It's just all I buy and know how to cook without poisoning myself. Although red kidney beans are still a terrifying prospect.)

yes - I really wish I were better with lentils and things - i.e knew how to cook them in exciting ways.

Become a tee-total anorexic.

an option, an option - tee-total anorexics still get to eat skittles and coke, right?
