Day four

Today I really felt it, the combination of walking everywhere and a reduction in food has really started to affect my ability function.
I really found it difficult to get started this morning, I just couldn't wake up. The black tea I'm allowing myself just wouldn't do it for me so I poured myself another mug. I had my porridge and lemon curd for breakfast and finally woke up before it was time for the school run.
Making three lots of sandwiches that I wouldn't eat didn't help either. Cream cheese smells very good when you're not having dairy.
At dinner I had a fried egg again with tapenade smeared on flatbread. It was nice, but the lack of choice in my daily routine is also affecting my mental state. After all, variety is the spice of life.
In the afternoon some friends came round, we take it in turns to bake cakes and drink tea in each other's houses. It was my turn this week. I baked a cake and made tea and sipped on tap water and ate flatbread with lemon curd.
I knew before the start of this challenge that I would be baking a cake today, so my shopping purchases reflected that slightly. I had hoped that I would be able to accommodate a 22p cake mix into my budget, but I couldn't! I still baked the cakes, and as it is Christian Aid week, I made my friends consume my budget cake.

I used:
Sainsbury's Basics 22p cake mix.
1 egg from my shopping
Lemon curd from my shopping
Butter from the fridge
Icing sugar from the cupboard.

Apparently the cake tasted nice, but even though I used some of my 'rations' I didn't feel as though I could join in as there was so much not from there.

Lemon curd on flatbread is quite nice after a while.

Tea was, once again, chilli and flatbread. I have just enough left for Day Five.

After school we went to another children's party. Chocolate fingers, cake, panninis, rice. It all smelled and looked wonderful. And, for me? Just a tap water please!
