    Just found this thread . I have not bought a lunch at all this term (since 2nd September!) and I have the temptation of school dinners , bacon rolls cooked to order etc.

    Made 3 days pasta salad this morning and put them in the fridge.

    hey all - everyone making up their lunches for the week? I'm baking some spuds and have taken soup out of the freezer. Obviously not for the same lunch! :)

  • 5 days so far for me, so pretty pleased with that. Made crisp sandwiches today, I'd forgotten how nice they were.

    oooooo can I play?

    I would like to go for 12 more packed lunches for the month. I have also put an 'emergancy' packed lunch kit in my desk of tinned soup/crisps and a eat natural bar so if I forget/get lazy one night I still have a packed lunch available!
