La_escocesa

Hi :wave:

I'm in this month. Didn't sign up last month and I really noticed the difference. Only in the office 12 days this month so sure it can be done, but maybe give myself some leeway...

Lunch from home for 11/12 days please!

L7oopys

I would like to join this please!
I'm in work 18 days this month and I would like to aim for 15 lunches brought from home! :-)

Tete_en_l'Air

Hello all - I joined in September and managed 16 of 18 days, which was acceptable I suppose! I'd like to take part again this month and am aiming for 20 days - that means I can have a bought lunch each week. 2/2 work days so far with homemade soup on Friday and cream cheese sarnies with cupasoup today. Good luck all!

eleanor73

I am in again. Please can I be put down for no more than 2 lunches?

I didn't use my one bought lunch last month :jso that's 2 months with no bought lunches.

Oct - Fri work bought us lunch and today I have a random lunch of a little bit of leftover chinese takeaway and half a pot of hummous and a pitta.

d3mon4ngel

Good luck everyone

beeswax_3

Hi

I'd like to join this month please. My lunchtime spending has been spiralling out of control recently! I'm aiming for 16/17.

podperson

Would like to join this as well please, have really slipped backwards on this lately so need to make more of an effort. Will say no more then one bought lunch a week and will try to take my own drinks most days as well as I am getting really bad for that. So think that will make me 16/20 and bought lunch today as I overslept so not off to a good start
