    Managed to do both breakfast and lunch yesterday, and carefully put a portion of dinner aside last night for lunch today.

    And then heard about a fire at London Bridge, messing up all trains, so ran out the door to face the travel chaos, leaving the lunch in the fridge. Not impressed, but at least I have some bread and fruit left over from yesterday......
    Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....

    More couscous for me today. I'm probably going to bob out to the library today but will wait until after lunch so I'm not tempted to buy anything. x

  • Hi all,

    4/4 for me today. Some couscous and mango. I fancy a sandwich from a local sandwich shop but I will resisit. Plus deep down, I know I will not enjoy it and it will not be good for my waist line or purse!
