I had a back to back meetings from 1pm so had my carrot sticks (didn’t fill any kind of hole so I completely understand the desire and actual need for biscuits / filling things when on a budget) and one slice of toast and cottage cheese at 12.30pm.
At the second meeting, a panettone was offered with a coffee and while my host said ‘no thank you’ I was delighted – I would have been any other day, but like yesterday with the fruit today it was even more welcome! Also made me think someone could be put off a little if others say ‘no thanks’ and might say the same even if they really want or need it…
A second slice of toast and cottage cheese at 4pm then cereal as a snack at 6pm as a slightly later than usual teatime awaited.
Tea was half the remaining pasta (a slightly bigger portion as I didn’t eat any pasta yesterday), the remaining meatballs and baked beans. Both have very thin sauces and not a huge amount of flavour…
One more day so I’m keen to use what I have but aware that if this was ‘normal life’, I would be pleased to be taking some leftovers into the next week’s budget.
