another 5 days to go for me, I'm working on Saturday.

I must be losing it, just realised May starts on Saturday so just another 2 more days, also it's Bank holiday on Monday so for most people the May challenge will start on Tuesday.

I was really, really tempted to go get Itzu noodle dumpling soup today. Its soooo yummy and I havent had it for over half a year now! Anyway stuck on the straight and narrow (partially as I was so busy I could barely leave my desk!) and had my 50p tin of soup, which was probably better for me anyway. Im really liking Mr S's be good to yourself soups, much tastier than the others Ive tried and keep you filled up until supper.

Mr Green, up for running the challenge again in March? I'm happy to take it off you if you'd like a break!

oh no I've fell at the last hurdle! Have had some personal things happening which have taken my dfw motivation away... I had a sausage sandwich on Tuesday (had to go somewhere in the morning, didn't eat breakfast or take lunch as I didn't think it would last as long as it did) and yesterday I was on a staff conferrence and got a pastry in the morning

Ah how annoying, one day before the end of the month and I've had to buy something from the shop for todays lunch

I had a bit too much to drink last night so didn't think to make up my sandwiches and then this morning was feeling a bit too worse for wear

I brought in leek and potato soup for lunch, and theres enough left for tomorrow. Sorted!

Well bought lunch today, but only cos no choice due to someone in the office was leaving, felt very MSE as i refused to buy a drink & stuck to tap water, will definitely be the last one this month, so am going to come in under target :j

Living close to work is such a lifesaver cos even on the days i'm not that well organised i can pop home instead of spending

Thanks Nottoobadyet for running our shiny new thread in May. I'm on course to reach my April target of 18 today with another shiny bag of Uncle Ben's Rice and a banana. It's boring, but it's all I've got! See you in May!

Today I have my leftovers from last nights dinner I have bought just one lunch this month so it has saved me a fortune! I was spending around £4 a day before.
