    4/4 for me today however I am out for lunch with the team tomorrow. After that it looks like I'm unemployed again as none of the agencies I am with have any assignments for me.
    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!

    Hi everyone and Happy Friday!

    I'm hitting 5/5 this week so am ahead of my target woo hoooo!

    Also not really relevant to this thread but I'm ahead of myself on my personal commuting challenge - I try to cycle 3/5 days and this week I'm on 4/5 :-)

    For me this is a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted!
    But I am pleased to announce that so far I have managed 5/20 days for February.
    I had butties from home for 4 days and a freebie lunch at a seminar on Tuesday!!

  • Not sure how this works....but add me on too! As my new years resolution i've brought in lunch every work day since Jan 4th!!!! and am going to continue to do so for as long as poss. We live with family and foodshopping is included in our "board" money so I raid the fridge for leftovers & simple things like potatoes and tins of soup - we only have a microwave & toaster at work. I'm loving micro porridge at the min.
