Completed day 1 successfully! Just made a tuna sarnie on homemade bread for tomorrow (that's got taste better than a shop one!) and packet of crisps, didn't even drink my juice today so left that in the fridge.

Oooh, can I join in please?
I'll commit to taking my lunch every day except if we have any birthday lunches out (I don't think we have any in Jan though).
I'm not too bad at taking my lunch most days but get so bored with sandwiches! And at the moment when it's cold I really fancy something hot to keep me going all day. I rarely have leftovers as my lovely but greedy boyfiriend eats everything up ... At least we have a microwave and a fridge at work so I have options, I just need to get out of my sandwich rut!
I love these forums for ideas and inspiration but this is the first time I've joined a challenge, let's see how I go!

Glad to see everyone is getting on so well! Ive updated the member list, hope I didnt muck it up too badly...

Had leftover lentil soup today which was lovely and healthy. Did buy a roll on my way to work (I stop at a local bakery on the way in when I have soup, its more to support the local business than anything!), so spent 20p on that.

Made cottage pie for dinner tonight, which wasn't overly good (recipe demanded canned lentils an toms, the pie ended up tasting more of tin than anything else!) but will leave me with leftovers for tomorrow. Sorted!

First day back at work for me tomorrow. Arent we a prepared lot - I have also made an egg mayo sandwich ready to take with me.

No diet coke in the house though (complete addict). I have enough for a glass in the morning to stop the withdrawals- maybe its time to give up during work hours and switch to water.

I could do with learning how to cook to be honest?

Woo! :j Day 1 done! Took a frozen ham buttie, which had defrosted by lunchtime and didn't taste any different for having been frozen. It was SO easy just getting it out of the freezer this morning!

That sounds like a good idea! What do you put it in the freezer in, a freezer bag, or would cling film be ok?
