    do they not have a policy that means they have to give you so much off their order etc if they are late?

    The last time they were late they took off the £5 delivery charge. I'm assuming they would've done that for us, but was being stubborn and just cancelled. Rubbish. (But maybe if we don't shop online for a while they will send us better discount vouchers!)

    I did fall off the wagon a wee bit lunch-wise this week. Ended up buying myself a cheeky shop-made tuna sarnie @ £1.45 and went to the coffee shop twice! Next week...

    I had another packed lunch today. I cooked a delicious vegetable satay yesterday morning, which I used for lunch yesterday and today. Not working tomorrow but will cook something for the next couple of days. So far I'm doing better than my target!

    Done another no spend week! Not one penny spent in work hours this month.:j

    I had bargain bin pasta bake today. Was 99p and had it in the freezer. Determined to get to january. Got some back up soups in the cupboard which will do if I don't get organised (48p in Tesco - Green Giant ones)

    Very pleased with myself. Think the baguette shop think they've upset me!!

    Can I join please? This is one of my New Year's Resolutions - to stop being lazy re: lunches at work. So far so good. I've been making big batches of soup to take in. This week was red pepper/tomato and lentil. Next week I'm planning on taking a Mexican Bean one that I love. This week there was only one day when I didn't take lunch but that was because I was at a conference and lunch was provided.

    Can't wait to get some handy tips/recipes from you guys. x
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    A week of no spend on lunches for me, it was only 4 days work this week. 11/15 days so far. Still on target to get 4/5 NSD at work for January, will have to have another week of no spending, should be easier as I'm quite committed to not spending on lunches at work.

    I'm up for carrying this on for another month in February now that I've got into the flow of things.

    Nottoobadyet will you be starting another thread for February?
