Day 1 - Gruel.

Welcome to day 1 of Live Below the Line.

First thing this morning, I woke up headed down to the kitchen and as usual immediately went to the fridge and got out a carton of orange juice. Went to get a glass, and then I realised.

As I put the orange juice back in the fridge I noticed a cupcake on the sideboard, taunting me. I cant believe my mum would leave that in full view... But I held fast on the very first meal of the day, as you can see from the picture my breakfast was a very unpleasant porridge. There are very few things that have less taste than porridge made with water. My jam didn't make a huge difference either, if anything the sweetness made it even less pleasant.

But this challenge was never meant to be easy. And I had water in the tap, instead of having to walk miles for it.

Saving grace I suppose.
