Sneaky Sneaky

Ok, so I had to add another quick thing cause I am proud of myself. So tomorrow, as previously mentioned, we start classes. In the living room area of our flat there is a bookshelf with a lot of textbooks on it. So, being he clever minx that I am, I decided to stash one of every book in my room so if I do in fact need any of them, I won't have to pay! I am so thrifty- I should get an award. The books are left by past participants so I know that I will most likely need some of them. Badabing, saved myself some pounds.

Alsooo, I would like to comment on the food. We have to make our own food here which is fine, except the grocery store and food in general is so different. Right now I am eating a salami and cheese sandwich. (salami because it is seriously the cheapest lunch meat). Last night I made myself pasta, and this morning some cereal. I want to be more creative with my meals, but I am not trying to spend tons os pounds at the store. Food that you would expect to not be too expensive is pricey. A small container of juice is like 3 pounds. And then things that normally aren't cheap are really cheap here. Like 1 lb of ground beef is only 80 pence. I guess it will take a few walk thrus of the grocery store to figure out how to allocate my moolah.

ps Mom, I am eating yogurt, oranges, and carrot sticks on the daily. Healthy healthy :)
