    Well my roast chicken sandwich is all made & in the fridge ready for tomorrow when i will put it in my pink princess lunch box (because it was 49p in a sale, not because i'm really a 5 year old at heart!!)

    Making sandwiches isn't that hard, i will do it everyday!!

    Today I had a tin of soup that I had in my drawer at work, all I bought was a 30p buttered roll from Greggs :)

    Tonight I am going to make up some cheese and tuna pasta and have that over the next few days (if I have enough pasta left at home).

    I have my pasta with me today, and two more portions at home for the next couple days too :) so that's this whole week sorted.

    I'm thinking cheese, corned beef and pickle sandwiches for next week ;)
