This is a great challenge......

Thanks for putting me on the list so quickly, Nottoobadyet! Could I be picky and ask if my maximum spend could be changed to 10 dollars instead of pounds though, please? $10 only works out to about 4.50 in pounds and I feel like it makes me look like I'm going to be spending loads!

I went to the shop today to get stuff for my next 2 lunches at work (day off today and Friday I have a meeting at work so I get lunch for free - yay!)
I've made some tuna mayonnaise with red and yellow peppers and sweetcorn in, to have in a wrap with spinach, and currently have a lamb leg in the slow cooker with fresh mint and rosemary on it, the leftovers of which will be a sandwich filling for Thursday.

I'm feeling so much better knowing I'm not frittering away so much money, and even if my home made lunches are not super healthy, they are definitely the Healthier Option instead of buying junk (and Cheaper!) :T

Ooooo.... CAN I JOIN PLEASE

Been back at work 6 days so far this year, and I've only spent money on one day! 1/6 aint so bad! I've got 14 more days left, so I'm aiming for no more than 3/14 for the remainder...

In plain english I'm aiming for no more than 4/20 for Jan!

Brought myself a corned beef with tomato sauce sandwich, and a bag of whoopsie crisps!

Ok day 2 this week for me (day 7 overall). Today I have a bit of a mis-match again (what happens when I don't get my !!!!! organised. Oats so simple, crisps, an apple and whatever else is in my drawer. Not overly exciting - but I AM NOT BUYING LUNCH!!!

Partial failure today, forgot to make lunch (be it leftovers or sandwiches) so am having to rely on the backup tin of soup in my drawer.. however I have no bread so will have to buy a baguette from the canteen

tsk!

Nottoobadyet

Sorry about that Mrs White, I'll fix it shortly!

Finally on the last portion of lasagne (!!!!) and also have some lentil / veg / noodle soup leftover from last night. I wish I had a bigger freezer so leftovers wouldnt have to go all at once!
