    This lunchtime I had a jacket potato with chilli made for my dinner last night and fruit brought from home.
    Last night I was trying to think ahead to what I'd have for lunch tomorrow and realised that I was going out for dinner tonight so wouldn't be able to make 'extra' of anything to bring in, so I thought "Oh well, I'll buy something at work" then realised NO I CAN'T!! Therefore I boiled some pasta up to have with more left over chilli - that's being prepared for you and it's thanks to this challenge! :T
