2. Books - give away a book a day
3. Stop using teabags and use looseleaf tea instead.
4. Eat homemade bread.
5. Sow a packet of seeds a day
6. No ready meals
7. No pretend meat products

Day 2 completed!
2. Another book for the bookpile which should have 40 books to give away by the end of Lent!
3. Made a pot of Duchess Earl Grey tea which is black tea with orange pieces, cornflower and rose petals, and lime leaves.
4. Ate homemade bread, 5. sowed some parsley, and cooked my meals from scratch.
UPDATE after 2weeks,
1. Haven't bought any books
2. I took 6 books to the seed swap and have a small pile of others to give away, not 40 yet. 
3. Still making looseleaf tea and considering giving away my teabag collection. Also growing more herbs for tea so that I can be self sufficient in tea!
4. Have made a few loaves but I need to use up some of the frozen bread I found in the freezer.
5. Failed to sow seeds daily.
6. Failed on this one too as I need to use up stuff from the freezer.
7. Haven't eaten any pretend meat. 

Only a few more weeks to go. Big Grin
