			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Wot we spent on buying food:</strong></h2>
<p><strong>£0.00 </strong>Total so far for Project Frugal <strong>£13.17 </strong>however<strong> Le Chef, </strong>who is incapable of advising me in advance if he wants me to prepare delicious, yummy sandwiches no doubt spent extravagant amounts on some dry old bread thing at work.  He will not disclose how much exchanged hands.</p>
<h2>Wot we bought:</h2>
<div>
<ul>
<li>nothing, nada, zero.  Except the above.  It&#8217;s a bit rude of<strong> Le Chef </strong>to not fully participate in the spirit of the project.  Harumph!</li>
</ul>
<h2>Wot we should have bought but didn&#8217;t:</h2>
<div>
<ul>
<li>porridge oats</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<h2>Wot we ate:</h2>
<ul>
<li>OJ</li>
<li>Cappuccino</li>
<li>porridge</li>
<li>I had another cappucino with <em><strong>Fraulein Direktor</strong></em> while we discussed very very important work type stuff.  She bought the cappucino, so no cost to me.  And this gave me a cunning idea.  If I can get all my friends to buy me or make me food then <strong>Project Frugal</strong> will never have any outgoings.  Send food parcels everyone!</li>
<li>My lunch was a jamon (that&#8217;s Spanish for jam eh .. I mean ham), cheese and lettuce sandwich and three little tomatoes.  My sandwich was prepared by my own fair paw.  <strong>Le Chef</strong> &#8211; gawd only knows what he had or how much it cost.  Harumph!</li>
<li>green tea</li>
<li>water and lots of it due to furious spin class with <strong>Captain Awesome</strong></li>
<li>another <strong>Le Chef </strong>prepared culinary delight of curious origin twas served ce soir.  It was quite good.  It looked like it had beans and potatoes and carrots in it.  It perhaps even had parsnips in there too. I thought my tea lacked a certain something so I stirred in mango chutney which as everyone knows is just middle class tomato ketchup.  The meal&#8217;s tastiness improved somewhat in a strange exotic fruit way.  I recommend putting mango chutney on everything.
<ul>
<li><strong>Uninteresting factoid:</strong> the French regard the parsnip with disdain.  They only feed it to their horses.  <em><strong>A terribly waste</strong></em> I say, <em><strong>Terrible waste</strong></em>.  And I thought they knew something about food.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Le Chef</strong> is still stuffing himself with <strong><em>Kershy Hisses</em></strong>.  They were a food parcel from <em><strong>Umerica</strong></em> so no purchase necessary.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Reflections on frugality</h2>
<div>Today is spinning class day.  Me and <em><strong>Fraulein Direktor </strong></em>went.  <em><strong>Captain Awesome,</strong></em> our spinning teacher was a bit <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Nazi</span> nasty today.  Making us sprint.  What&#8217;s sprinting for?  I know what sprinting is for.  Sprinting is an appetite suppressant. Tis not possible to eat your tea after furious sprinting.  Eating too soon after sprinting leads to the <strong>driving of that ceramic bus </strong>again or having a chat with <strong>Ralph</strong> and <strong>Bert</strong> and <strong>Jonah</strong> and <strong>Huey</strong>.</div>
<div>Must by oats.  My porridge oat supply is dangerously low. Stress from dwindling oat supply is causing anxiety.</div>
