    No bought lunches here :) although I was off work sick last week.
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    Good for the 0 bought lunches but bad for the being sick. All better now?

    I know we're halfway through the month but can I join please?

    I had my first HM lunch today of this month and want to try to continue everyday until the end of this month and then go from there.

    I'm also going to cut out the toast I normally have each morning when I worked out that in a 4 week month it costs me £12 :eek:

    So, I'm aiming to go toast free this month too!

    How's everyone getting on?

    I've been getting through a fruit loaf this week - apparently 2 slices is one of my five a day...

    Also got myself some babybel light on special offer from co-op and enjoying that with some freebie sparkling water and tea at work.

    More of the same tomorrow as I said no when a friend invited me for lunch. Kinda :( but I guess I can catch up with her on the phone/email without the £10 lunch out price tag.

    I'm now on my second day without buying toast and lunch, it feels so good!!

    Money I'm saving will help go towards paying for my dentist appointment next week especially as one of my teeth broke this morning :( I'm very glad I found an NHS dentist :p
