Well I was aiming for 4/5 and its been 3/5 because I had a snow day :rolleyes: but as I didnt buy any lunch that day and ate at home from cupboard, I think it still counts as 4/5
The not so good news is I did buy coffee on the way to work 2 days
as its cold. Next week I will do better.
La escocesa I'm not (this month) turning down publunch(its a weekly team thing) but next month will probably go just for a drink and eat before or after.0 -

Working from home today so that's 5/5 for me!
Have got a load of carrot and lentil soup in the freezer so that's the plan for next week. I think there's enough bread flour to make a few rolls too.0 -

5/5 for me too, even though working from home for 2 days, but I'm still counting it cos I'm not that hard on myself!
