Still on track -tinned (but still nice) leek & potato soup & the crusts of a seedy loaf, also had an orange & banana. Another sales rep has brought in a pack of choccie digestives so I can just help myself to one if I feel the need for a choc fix while making the cuppas! Think its a tin of soup again 2moro - cupboards at home running low as shopping is done on the weekend. Might bulk it up by putting a handful of rice or pasta in the bottom of the soup so it makes it more filling.0

I was bad today. I bought my lunch at Holland and Barrett because I was at a meeting this morning, so didn't prepare my lunch (I didn't get into the office until 1.30pm so the lunch would have been manky by then). Still, I'm rather annoyed at myself. So my current total is 14/20.HSBC Credit Card £608.69, HSBC Overdraft: £4123.67, HSBC Loan: £8,270.69
Lloyds Credit Card: £1418.62, Very Account: £518.99, Barclaycard: £126

I've dipped into my reserve of tins over the last couple of days and yesterday I had a good lunch of veggie sausages and beans with a couple of slice of bread.
Last night I made a veg stir fry which I packed it into three protions, I've put two in the freezer for next week and bought one with me for today and now at work were going to get flaffel for lunch, so I'm going to use one of my spend days and the stir fry's in the fridge for tomorrows lunch.Nearly debt free

Well i've got packet rice brought from home today. Didn't realise it takes about 15mins in the microwave!! I was starving by the time it was cooked. I've also got a packet pasta in the drawer for tomorrow and spotted some 10veggie soup in the fridge in one of those cartons. (I can't even name 10veggies never mind ones that would actually all taste nice together in soup....but i'm sure it'll be nice"0

Yesterday I had chicken and salad rolls and today I have tuna and salad rolls. Running low on stuff that I can grab out of the freezer so need to rectify that quick or I can feel a fail coming on!
