If he has access to a microwave, then hun, make a bit extra of casseroles stews etc and he can ding them at work! my OH works out of a van! so he takes a sandwich, some fruit and a vaccuum flask of boiling water - if he really wants to then he can have a pot noodle or a cuppa soup or just decide to have tea, coffee or bovril. OH would love a microwave.........shepherds pie, bit of curry and rice, faggots and peas - you get the idea?

Talking of flasks I got my DH one in Tesco the other day for £8.

Its all steel & is shaped like a food can (very wide neck) so you can put soups, stews, casseroles anything like that in it.

Last night I made extra for the dinner and froze it. I think he appreciates it even though he didnt take it with him to work, but maybe he didnt feel like the same again today. So I'll try and stock up on a few different dinners so he can have a choice.

If this is in the wrong place please feel free to move x

I need to stop buying lunches at work but I'm v boring and just ham or cheese sandwiches which I get bored of and return to buying sandwiches again

Can anyone give me any quick fix but cheaper than buying lunch ideas?

I can't really take things that need heating as there isn't a useable microwave (it's a bit skanky!!)

Id probably need to start making the night before I think but how do you stop things going soggy in the kitchen foil (or is clung film better?)

I'm determined to get organised and save money!!!

Cuppa soups and mug shot pasta snacks are good if you want something warm without using the microwave.

I usually make things the night before and then they go in a tuppaware pot. Don't seem to go dry or soggy - if taking a salad i take the dressing seperately.

Cold pizza is awalys lovely!

Cuppa soup is great with a few oatcakes/rice cakes

...Or brave the microwave... if its in a tuppaware it wont get touched..ours is pretty minging at work!! I make big batches of soup then freeze in tiny portions to take into work

Usually a mug of tea/options is about my limit! lol
