    Sounds like my week last week Kayleighpea! Don't feel bad though, think of all the days you did manage. I only did 13 out of 16 planned days in January, but it saved me loads of money - back on the wagon today taking my own lunch in again, so I feel less guilty already this week! :rotfl:

    Hello all!

    just popping in to report a success in January - no lunches bought!!! I reckon I've saved over £30 in doing so! YAY!

    Aiming for the same again in February - is there a link to a new thread or is this one carrying on?

    Keep up the good work everyone - every little helps! x

    Yes, will definitely be doing the February challenge. Not too bad this month, made soup last week and had that four days out of five. The final day I had a meeting at lunchtime so had that outside the office and work expenses will cover. This week day 1 was brought in, day 2 again a lunch meeting, today someone brought in food from home to share, and I have lentil soup for the next two days.
