Yawn, stretch and lazily go to your back garden, they will then lie back down and watch your house burn down

Got a huge pack of 20 large slices of ham from Morrisons for £1.19.Split it into sandwich sized portions & froze it.Doing well on the packed lunch front but have weakened to the crisp/choccie vending machine a few times.:o It stops now!:T

I failed miserably this week. I blame it on having to catch the train which means that I have to leave the house earlier and I'm too lazy to get up a get lunch sorted before I leave.

Still, my new bright pink Bento box arrived so my intention is to make use of it next week. Instead of 5 days, though, I'll break myself in gently and opt for 2 out of 5. Hopefully that'll get me into the swing of things.

I am going to ease myself into this challenge with a view to doing it properly in Feruary

I'm thinking of doing a salad each day but wondering the cheapest way to make it. Might do a noodle salad as well. If I can figure out a nice recipe.

snow days played havoc with my working week, but I've managed 5 out of a possible 6 days so far. lunch for tomorrow will be a cheese roll with a cupasoup.

Everyone ready for the new week? I'm bringing in two days worth of butternut squash soup today and I'll keep the leftover in the fridge at the office. With rolls I'll be set!

Well I'm on day 10 and still no lunch spend! But getting very bored of peanut butter or cheese sarnies! Any suggestions for good fillings that aren't too expensive or complicated? I've got a packet of Ainsley Harriot flavoured Cous Cous so might bring that in one day, any idea what i can eat with it?

This is a great challange! I'm trying to bring in lunches every day, and did 4 out of 5 days last week. Have started off on the right track this week, had leftovers from yesterday so that has kept me going today at lunch time. Plan to take everyday because I've been spending anything between £3 and £6 per day on food that isn't exactly healthy!!

Speaking of which someone has just brought a huge leftover pizza through from a meeting so off to grab a slice of that!

:money:

Ham sandwiches, crisps and a banana from home today!
