Unbelievable

I'd planned our meals down to a perfect budget for the week, still GAPS friendly, with a £1.02 contingency fund - then Matt announces that he is going to eat lunch and probably breakfasts at school.

This is a problem, because it reduces our joint grocery budget from £10 for the week to £6.66 for the week.

Goodbye salad leaves, goodbye eggs, and probably goodbye home made yoghurt.

I need to rebudget, but right now I have the chicken pox and I can't think clearly.

One thing is for sure though, I am not sending Matt to the shops without a list of exactly what to buy.

He'll come home with peanut butter.

    Pox in your 20s is terrible. I feel sick all the time, incredibly itchy, and I can't eat anything. I lost 4lbs in the last 24 hours, which means I've lost 15lbs since I started being I'll on Tuesday.
    As for eating at school, I think it makes him feel more like part of the team that we are raising money with, as they will all be eating at school too. Comeraderie and all that. ;0)
