Live Below the Line: Day 5, Final Day

I have made it through Day 5 of the Live Below the Line challenge!! I was in much better spirits today than yesterday, it must be because I could see the light at the end of the tunnel and my coffee headache was pretty much gone today. The day started off again by taking a banana and 2 boiled eggs into work to have as breakfast and for 2 snacks throughout the day, these 3 things cost me 28p. I love bananas but I have eaten so many eggs this...

Live Below the Line: Day 2

Day 2 of living below the line is now complete and I am feeling pretty good except for this headache I can not shift... coffee withdrawals! I started off the day with taking a banana and 2 boiled eggs into work to have as breakfast and for 2 snacks throughout the day. These 3 things cost me 28p and they kept me pretty satisfied today.

Live Below the Line: Day 1

Day 1 of living below the line is now complete! I feel like I have eaten more food today then I do on a normal day. Although on a normal day, I always start it off with a cup of coffee but not today, I couldn't afford it in my £1 budget. I am definitely having coffee withdrawals and this headache won't go away, oh well all for a good cause. My breakfast this morning consisted of 2 sunny side up fried eggs seasoned with mix herbs and 2 small...

Live Below the Line: Shopping Day

I can't believe the Live Below the Line challenge that I signed up for in March is finally here and starting tomorrow. I did my shopping today and really wish I would have created meal plans but never got around to it and so I looked at some sample ones online and popped over to the store hoping for some good deals. To the right and below is everything I bought for the week to feed me! My grand total for Live Below the Line week is £4.93... I might...

Cheesy Garlic Drop Biscuits

Our friend was having us over for dinner and she was making a Chicken Stew to fit this cold front that we are having at the moment. I decided I would make some kind of bread roll to accompany the meal. Then I came across a biscuit recipe which would accompany the stew perfectly. I haven't had what the US calls a biscuit in a long time! In the UK, a biscuit is a cookie which would not go well with stew at all. A US biscuit is closely related to...

Bailey's Cream Soda Float

So, after making the root beer float cupcakes I was in the mood to make an actual root beer float. I wanted a nice little treat that I would usually enjoy around this time when it is nice and hot... but in reality it is cold and rainy but that didn't stop me from making one! I decided to try something a bit different though. I bought some Bailey's ice cream at the weekend and made some cream soda (love sodastream!). I have made something similar...
