Living Below the Line

Hi Everyone

Long time no write.  But we do have something to tell you about.  We are on day two of our 'living below the line' challenge.  We are living on ....

JUST $2.25 per day!!!!!!

Check out the video which inspired us to take up the challenge...

So ...  Day 1

Breakfast : 1 Sausage, 1 piece of bread, an egg
Lunch: medium sized potato, half a can of beans
Dinner: 50 grams (weigh of pasta uncooked) and half a can of beans
Snacks: 3 bits of bread each - which we have been toasting ...

Alan has also been snacking on carrots but Emily can't face it ... yet.

Day 2:

...  oh, the same as day one ...

It's all very boring and we have been a little hungry but not too much.  Thank goodness Mum found a pack of 12 sausages for five bucks!  It's good to start the day with a reasonable breakfast.

The things we have found so far are ...

- when you are living below the line food is boring.  There is no joy here.
- when you are living below the line you fight a lot!  It's very stressful shopping and deciding what to spend your money on.
- when you are living below the line you really miss your morning coffee.

But it has started lots of conversations.  We are determine to live the week out and thank you to those who have sponsored us.
