Living Below The Line Day 3 - 21/09/11

So I am now on the third day of the £1 a day budget for food and drink. This is what I have consumed so far -

Day 1

• 1 poached egg on a slice of toast
• 3 fish fingers, 3 salad potatoes, 1 carrot
• 1 slice of bread with jam
• 2 pints of orange squash

Day 2

• 1 packet of noodles with a slice of bread
• 1 orange
• 1 tin of beans with sausages on a slice of toast
• 1 slice of bread with jam
• 2 pints of orange squash

Day 3

• 1 poached egg on a slice of bread
• 1 orange
• 1 portion of pasta with pesto
• 2 slices of bread with jam
• 2 pints of orange squash

All of this has been low quality food, without salt/pepper, any sort of sauce or even butter. So all my meals have been very bland. So much so the smell of the dog food is making me salivate...like a dog.

Not even half way through the week, I am getting very hungry and every meal is ten minutes in heaven! The waiting between meals is hell, not to mention the temptation of the rest of my families groceries lying around. Watching my mother tuck into the leftovers of their lovely looking pasta bake was just adding salt to the wound.

Anyway, only 4 days to go. Having an expiry date on this is really something to look forwards to and motivate me. Imagining if this wasn't my choice; something I had to do to survive makes me appreciate a fraction of how difficult life must be for those less fortunate.

Please help the cause I am doing this for and donate some money. Use my virtual menu to give a few pounds.
