    Yipes, incesticide, those are big colourful letters! Fixed, hope its OK now.

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

    Thanks NTBY

    A partial fail again today.. forgot to make sanwiches again so it was tomato soup again.

    Brought a baguette from the canteen and a twix (bad, bad!!) for a total cost of almost a quid!!!

    Need to start cooking again at home, feel another stir-fry coming on.

    Will need two NSD at work to make my goal
