Yesterday's post was so long that I didn't actually say how it went on the first day - answer: pretty good. But that was mostly because I felt slightly guilty about the €16.20 that was still in my wallet and instead of trying to spread that out over a few days I combined it with with my €5 for the day and this is what I did with it: 1) bought a Berthillon ice cream and ate it sitting beside Notre Dame while basking in the sunshine, 2) had three glasses of wine over the course of the afternoon with a friend as we wandered from café to café along the blvd St Germain enjoying the sunshine (it's been a rainy week, we had to enjoy the sun) 3) bought a Big Mac meal on my way home (yes, I KNOW but I was starving and that was all I had enough cash for).
Today I thought I would be sensible with my €5 and buy some food. Which I did, but when I say "food", I should probably admit that I blew most of the day's budget on a Lindt chocolate bunny. But come on, it's Easter, I had to have a chocolate bunny, it's tradition! (However, I am absolutely kicking myself because I met a very nice chap a while ago who works at Lindt - had I known I was going to be doing this challenge over Easter, I would have shamelessly begged for freebies. D'ohh!) Anyway, I had enough change left to also buy a bag of salad. What? Salad and chocolate, how is that not a balanced diet? I was going to post a photo of the salad and the bunny together, just for the delightful contrast, but unfortunately the bunny didn't survive long after we got home. Because...erm...it was eaten...by wolves. Yes, that's it - not because I shoved it into my greedy face and demolished it in about three nanoseconds. Nope, eaten by wolves. That's my story and I will be sticking to it...
