Hi everyone :wave:
Back for another week!
Got myself a veggie delight - big bag of dry soya mince in Ts wholefoods £1.35 for 375g. Have just bunged 100g in a pot with tomato, stock, onion, chillies and seasoning and going to add that to a few things this week. I am thinking: with potatoes, in a tortilla wrap, in pasta and then something different for the other 2 days.
Good luck everyone!
I have averaged at 2 lunches out per week this month :eek: so hoping this week will be better...0 -
Afternoon all
Was really good this week and took lunches for 4 days and my OH met me for lunch and bought me a sandwich
Will hopefully be successful all this week too but then I'm off on my hols next week so will try and make our own lunches instead of buying lunches out - must work in discipline!!

Well I forgot my lunch yesterday so I've now bought my second and final lunch for the month. Only the 17th though so I'll have to be very disciplined from now on!0
