This page will be updated a lot so keep checking back.

SHOPPING TIME!!!

BREAKFAST

• I will be having these for breakfast
• Derek recommends these if you like porridge.
• If you want a hot breakfast then just heat these in hot water for 10 minutes. A bit more at £1.80 but cheaper than anything you'd buy in Iceland.

LUNCH

• We will be able to buy lunch on Sunday but I will probably have sandwiches I have brought with me.
• I'd like to have a bought lunch one day but will have cup of noodles at least 2 days. These are my current favourites.

DINNER

• I am a big fan of these pouch meals. With some boil in the bag rice, you get a decent filling meal. I will be having chicken curry and chili con carne.

SNACKS

• Stock up on that deal at Asda
• I have also got cereal bars like these Brunch bars
• I really like Asda's small packs of Jelly Babies which are in their 5 for £1 offer.

DRINKING

• We will fill up with free tap water whenever possible. If you want flavour then one of these will not take up much weight
• We will pass by some shops so you can buy stuff there. I might treat myself to some fresh fruit juice.
• For a hot drink, I like to use instant coffee sachets. I use 2 for 1 big cup. It saves faffing about with milk and sugar.
• Alcohol is incredibly expensive and our weak currency only makes it worse. Even duty free is very dear. Check the 'deals' at this link. I will splash out though on a 6 pack. I'll bring a hip flask from home too.

I reckon we will need 3 days worth of food. Here's the sort of thing I'd do myself:

SUNDAY

Breakfast - cup of coffee and some oat biscuits at airport plus nibbles on plane

Lunch - sandwiches I brought day before at Tesco

Dinner - Chili Con Carne & rice

MONDAY

Breakfast - cup of coffee and some oat biscuits

Lunch - Cup of noodles

Dinner - Buy pizza

TUESDAY

Breakfast - cup of coffee and some oat biscuits

Lunch - Buy hot dog or burger

Dinner - Chicken Tikka & rice

WEDNESDAY

Breakfast - Fancy breakfast of sausage & mash

Lunch - Cup of noodles

Dinner - Couscous with pepperami

THURSDAY

Breakfast - coffee & oat biscuits

The above would be supplemented by stuff like nuts, cereal bars, chocolate bars, jelly babies, etc. I might buy some fresh fruit juice and skyr over there but I'd bring everything else with me.
