“Between soup and love, the first is better.”
… goes an old Spanish saying. Is there’s some truth to this? Maybe that’s why Molière famously said “I live on good soup, not on fine words”…
Day 1, £10 Lunch Week Challenge. Well, as much as I love quirky old quotes, I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve completely forgotten about my carefully planned lunch menu for this week. I’ve just blown away £2.75 of my £10 budget, on nothing but… you guessed it, soup.
Budget killer soup
How could I leave home without preparing lunch today? Pretty dumb, no? It wasn’t until I found myself waiting in line over at Pret’s that I suddenly remembered my lunch challenge. Fabulous. I really do have to begin writing notes on the bathroom mirror..
Horrified at all of this, I dropped the pricey salad I was carrying and asked for soup instead. “Want some bread to go with the soup?” the man at the till offered. “No thanks,” I answered quickly. Everything has a cost, I’m learning! I carefully counted my coins, paid up and hurried out of there. Although this rescued some of my budget, the remainder of my week is now looking pretty meager. And I’m still very hungry.
Spent so far: £2.75
Budget left: £7.75
Sigh. Will I survive this week?
