egg mayo roll and a bag of crisps makes it 2/2 for this week. it was sooo had to resist the smells coming from the canteen - had to walk away very quickly

haven't made lunch for tomorrow yet as it's possible that we may be snowed off. will probably take curry and rice with me if i do go in.

Do you know what? I'm enjoying my lunches much more at the moment because they're home made, nice and I know exactly what is in them.

Appologies to everyone for all the mistakes, obviously my first time running a challenge on here.

Yep, first day back at uni yesterday and currently 1 for 1 lol, took tuna mayo baguette [part baked roll that my mum gave me last time she visited, tuna from the storecupboard and mayo i got from approved foods!]

I'm not in long tomorrow but plan on visiting the bank and library after uni so may take something of some sort along with me as the short days are often when im caught out and tempted.

I wasn't planning to join any more challenges (for lack of signature space more than anything!) but since I'm already doing this anyway I may as well make it official. Maybe it'll help me do better

I'm going to attempt 4 out of 5 days per week

I would also like to confess I had cheesy chips for lunch, so that's my one day for the week used up. Hehe.

I have cooked up a packet of savoury rice to have in [itta bread tomorrow. Cheap and cheerful lunch.

I took leftover cornbeef hash which I made in my slow cooker yesterday . When I do A lot of lates I make food in slow cooker during the day and use the food to be tea toomand lunch for next day at work.

Also took some chichken and cous cous to eat before work started.

Soup again for me, 5/5 I'm a courier so it has to be a flask.
Great challenge, I'm enjoying it, feel very motivated to save money.:D

Soup again for me today! 2 days in a row is too much already so got to make sure I sort something else out tonight to mix it up a bit! I'm thinking a tuna mayo filling for a jacket spud & maybe a little salad to go with it

Gotta love that tuna mayo, Kayleighpea! Cheap, yummy, filling and healthy - genius!! I added some chopped up carrot to my last batch, which has got to boost my 5 a day, surely?? And it tasted yummy. OH and I both had it in wraps and there's still enough left for at least one more serve.

And Nottoobadyet, I think you are doing a great job of running your first challenge! :A
Thank you so much for setting it up, you can see that we are all really finding it so helpful, healthy and money-saving so we are all very grateful.

While I'm at it, thanks to everyone else as well for posting your delicious lunch ideas! I know if I can keep my lunches varied and yummy I will be able to keep this up.
