What I Ate Wednesday

It's time for another What I Ate Wednesday... 

I waited to eat breakfast at tea & toast. I had a white coffee and white bread crusts with strawberry jam and lemon curd. Yummy homemade jam. 

We also had a bit of a cakey morning. This is a chocolate and caramel cupcake. 

For lunch I had spaghetti bolognaise. I originally made this for the boys' tea whilst I'm in the office, so had a little bit now. 

I took a packed lunch to work, cheese and cucumber sandwiches, a tangerine, some cheese & bacon crisps and a Banana Soreen Bar. I love these Soreen bars, fantastic for packed lunches. The banana ones taste like banoffee.

As I was in the office I also took some items from my Graze.com box to snack on. 

I love dark chocolate so the Jaffa Cake punnet is a proper treat. 

List of Pleasures

It's the most frugal month of the year.

January seems like the longest month ever. This is probably due in part to being paid a week earlier than usual in December and all the other extra outgoings that creep in.

To treat myself I have made up a list of Small Pleasures that won't cost me a penny but will keep me happy and relaxed.

On my list I have:

Read a book
Browse blogs (I like to use bloglovin')
Shuffle through Pinterest (hours disappear in seconds on this site)
Do my nails.
Go for a walk.
Play a computer game.

Watch a film (go onto YouTube you'll be amazed what you'll find on there).
Mini pamper session (if you don't have any pamper products, head to the kitchen and make a couple).
Listen to a podcast.
Watch a favourite tv show on iplayer/skygo.
Take your digital camera out for a walk.
Learn origami.
Listen to some music.
Change bedding (a bit of a chore, but boy the result pays off later).

Those are just a few from my list of free pleasures and treats
