I'd kill for all of it! We drove 950 km's home yesterday. I had cleared
the fridge before I left, eating everything in sight to conserve funds for
the trip south. We stayed with daughter and grandkids so no accommodation
costs but we still needed fuel, a motel on the way down and Xmas...

We drove for 12 hours yesterday, normally I could do the trip in 10 (over
two days) but my son came back with me (missing mummy and all she does too
much!) and he is limited to 90kph on his licence and it also rained almost
the entire way including several times where visibility was down to almost
nothing because of torrential rain. We also took a different route to avoid
the main highway and its problems, thought it would be better for son, lol.
He certainly learned a lot yesterday! Like how to drive while aqua planing,
how to drive along narrow, tight roads through mountains while there is
cloud around you, torrential rain and water running across the road. That
route was also 120 k's longer so we did ok all things considered. Once we
hit our state he was able to drive to the local speed limits, no limits here
(sadly IMO). I had been driving in front of him most of the way to make sure
his speed stayed right - the police presence was enormous and one fine, no
matter how small is the end of his licence.

Yesterday being a public holiday meant no shops open at 8.30 last night when
we got home, the kids shared a packet of corn chips and some salsa and
crashed, I had nothing for dinner and just ate toast for brekky with PB, no
tea (out of tea and milk).

I just looked in the freezer and figured I could feed the kids a pretty
filling meal tonight if I get some sausages today Got frozen mash, frozen
corn and frozen peas and a can of instant gravy, lol. Some carrots also
lasted the last 17 days in the fridge vegetable crisper. Two more days
before I can shop properly.
