Hannah-

Hey guys and dolls...

The task i've set myself is to live off £5.00 for the week, a pound a day...so heres a little about what I've been feeling about my challenge today... 

I guess the first thing is pretty obvious; I was hungry and also craving my normal morning caffeine fix.(so yes a little grouchy at 9am too!)  It's one of the first times I've woken up and actualy had to worry about what I could eat that day- something people in the third world struggle with everyday of their lives.  I know I can't compare my experiences to any degree to that of the third world, my life is no comparison...but it's the tip of the iceburg to force me to question how much I take for granted everyday, I can eat what I want when I want without any kind of worry or constraint.

I managed to get a loaf of bread for 49p and some humous for 30p- so no I didnt starve...but it was a struggle!! Amazing how tempting it is to blow the pound on a bar of galaxy when you want the sugar rush your used to.(yes it's my weakness)  Supermarkets are full of temptations!! But people in the third world don't have this luxury...they don't even have the luxury to be tempted as they don't have the means to.

Beginning to feel this week is going to teach me more about how much I take for granted then just about what it's like to be hungry.

Tough...but great for making me THINK.

Over and out, speak tomorrow x
