However, seeing that this is 4th year running I am taking the challenge, I thought I would mix things up a little bit.
I've just been reading up on what all my friends are up to and I have to say I have so many amazing friends who are just unbelievable:
Cindy is racing the London Marathon this sunday. (some others I know too!)
Ally has just gotten a well-deserving promotion because honestly, she is the most successful 20 years old I know and if only you can see how hard she works both at her job and her part time degree!
My Linh who is an incredible architect-to-be.
Eunice Yin who now plays in a band, producing awesome tune and just looks incredible.
I have decided a few days earlier that I will be taking the Live Below the Line challenge for 7 days.
Despite having a job and being able to save money for my future adventure, I am still a student living on a budget. £10 for food a week is usually my limit with the occasional snacks that would add up to £2 more. (and of course there is the alcohol for socialising)
Going down £5 is going to be tough but I am taking the challenge to help raise money and raise awareness towards the issue of food security and poverty that still exist around the world. It is time to remind myself how lucky I am to be able to eat and never go hungry.
Here is the food list:

1kg Oat - 75p
