This measly breakfast is toast

Today I made a big mistake- instead of cereal for breakfast I had toast.  Financially this was sound; two slices of toast with butter a lot cheaper than a bowl of cereal.  Initially I felt a lot more satisfied too.  This was not to last.  Two hours later I was starving and being at work there wasn’t much I could do, not within budget.  I started off by substituting all my tea drinks of the day for chocolate digestives.  This helped me make it through until lunch time when a big bowl of pasta kept me going for oh an hour and a half.  Then things looked bleak.  Ten minutes later I realised that I had a gift of food on my desk, some nuts covered in chocolate and a caramel glaze, a gift from a relative roughly six weeks ago.  An inch of this had be back on my feet. Then came an unexpected treat- homemade mince pies from a colleague. It was awesome. I came home to a dinner of leftover mash and toad in the hole which I supplemented with some peas and gravy. All in all not a bad day. Won't be having toast for breakfast again any time soon though!
