Live Below The Line – Day 5 #livebelowtheline

So here it is. The end is nigh. Well, the end of the day anyway, I’ve actually just had my ‘last supper’. But for billions, this last supper comes every day, and after living it for 5 days, it is completely unjustifiable. How I am feeling today – exhausted, lethargic, shaky, hungry. That’s just physically. I’ve been through many emotions too. I will write more in a separate post on a reflection of the week.

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 …

Live Below The Line – Day 1 #livebelowtheline

So today is the first day of my challenge. I’m feeling quite good about it at the minute, not sure how that will change throughout the week though!  Breakfast – 10.15am: 50g porridge = 4p 1/2 pint tap water = free 1/3 banana = 4p TOTAL = 8p I usually always make porridge with milk, or half milk half water, but today I had to make it all with water. 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 …
