Ooo just realised I have passed my target! On 18/20 and I think I will hit 19/20 tomorrow. Thanks for this great challenge and nice thread :-)))

I am back on the ham sandwiches, but had a break for leftover chicken stew and couscous yesterday. I get a bit stuck on ham, once I open a pack I have to keep going so I use it up before it goes off. Any thoughts on how to manage this better? I only make lunch for myself, OH is too lazy to make lunches (it's his money he's spending so doesn't worry me!). I don't think ham can be frozen, or can it?

Thanks everyone!

How good am I? Was pursuaded by my sister to go out shopping with her yesterday afternoon and said categorically I wasn't eating lunch out. Went for a coffee at John Lewis' and still stuck to my guns, wouldn't let her buy a cake either which she wanted (when she hadn't eaten anything before that either). Relented and let her have small bar of chocolate but then came back to mine where I ate my salad and made her a sandwich.

Today I am having a tin of soup which I bought in with some other groceries last night because as it's Friday today I didn't want to make a batch of something that would not get eaten over the weekend and be wasted. So, this is not classed as buying lunch is it?? x

Well, I wouldn't class that as buying lunch - almost everything we eat we do pay for at some point, even if it's in the grocery shopping. I would class a non-paid lunch as one that I had not gone into a sandwich shop, cafe etc to buy on the day.

Cheers Moo. I'd say so as well. To me a non-paid lunch is something you have not planned so have to go out and buy on the day. x
