Live Below The Line – Day 2 #livebelowtheline

Day 2 of the challenge. I went to bed on an empty, hungry stomach last night. Remember me saying that this is the way billions of people go to bed – it is really not a nice feeling. Usually I would grab a quick biscuit or something, but I don’t have any in my budget this week! I woke up around 2.30am with a mega rumbling belly. I eventually managed to get back to sleep. When I woke up for the day though, I had a pounding headache. I’m guessing this is from the lack of food, though I am …

I am going to be honest, I couldn’t finish it. Towards the end the taste of water was just too much and I started feeling sick. 1/3 of a banana …

#foodiepenpals – March reveal

Firstly, I must apologise for being late with this post. Little man has an ear infection, and has been clingy & grumpy, and I just totally forgot… Oops. Anyway, my penpal who sent my parcel this month was the lovely Kerys from Little Bo Blab (definitely checkout her blog, it’s fab, even on the first look!).  Big smiles straight away when I opened up my package as it arrived in this gorgeous box:  It was all a bit like a Russian doll as I had the outer layer, then the box, then my little note in an envelope, and then tissue paper …
