Are cordially invited to support me in an attempt to live for a week on a fiver... https://www.livebelowtheline.com/team/the-el-reg-quid-a-day-nosh-posseThe idea is to bring attention to those who *have* to live on a quid or so a day, and in particular I'm hoping to support the 'Malaria - No More' charity. I feel the Malaria parasite should have the same delightful status as that of Smallpox - i.e. extinct. More details will be on the el Reg pages over the next week; I'll link when I have them. The attempt starts on Monday 28th and ends that next Friday, and Anita will be joining me in this effort. All contributions are cordially accepted and very much appreciated! Thanks in anticipation...

Day one completed: Breakfast (this will be the same all week) - muesli (homemade from oats, dessicated coconut, and sultanas) and toast (homemade bread, naturally). Lunch - jam sarnie, a small apple. Dinner - chick pea curry: peas, onion, tin of tomato, potato
Anita is eating less through the day but getting outside a tomato, some beansprouts, a small apple, and bread/toast.
Won't have a price for breakfast/lunch until the end of the week; it'll be a little less than I guesstimated. Today's dinner was £0.92 for two.

Tuesday's efforts: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/04/30/quid_a_day_wednesday/Cost for two: £1.01 Back of the envelope calculation suggests only 1300-1400 Calories per day, though it doesn't feel like it.
