Day 25 - Breaking our target

We had a break away (not the biscuit) from porridge this morning and had a couple of slices of toast. The better bread is a big improvement on the skinny stuff. The scrapping sound the knife makes as you spread butter on toast is a wonderful thing!!!

2 slices of toast + butter - 7p


We both had our rations of peanuts mid morning.

Peanuts - 4p

Lunch was a less successful affair. It was the pea and ham soup. Mary was all pea-d out after last night's omelette which was a bit pea heavy. She didn't manage to eat it all. I on the other hand was happy to eat mine but my flask stopped working today and it was cold when I opened it. It is one of the metal ones and I was kind of half expecting it to be cold as the outside of the flask was warm to touch.

Pea and ham soup - 23p

After the soup not quite hitting the mark for lunch we were both keen to have something good for dinner. Tonight we used up 1/2 a curry sauce we had frozen from last week plus 1/2 a tin of kidney beans. It was  a bit of Indian-Mexican fusion!! We also used the last of the flour to make a couple of flatbreads. It was pretty good and better than when we added the frozen veg to the curry sauce. We have 399grams of rice left which is to go between the next 4 meals so we had 99g of that tonight. The scales have been essential this month. We've been weighing everything.


Curry and rice + flatbread - 31p

Mary is out at pilates and I'm just about to take Bails for a little walk. When we get back though we're having a whole doughnut each with custard then a wee cuppa.

Doughnut, custard + cuppa - 10p

Total for the day 75p each.

A little reminder that I'll be on Castle FM 98.8 tomorrow night (Thursday) between 7-8pm talking about our challenge and food photography.

Total raised so far £1038.18. 
What a brilliant day surpassing our target of £1000 and we've still got a few days left to go. The support from everyone has been brilliant and totally helped to drive us on and keep us focused.
