December work lunches challenge
Comments

Well i've got 2 more work lunches to "not buy" for this month.
Today i've got a ham & egg salad brought from home and i've got some home-made soup in the fridge ready for tomorrow (cos we dont know what time we're finishing so soup will be a good light lunch if I finish early.
We've also got a tin of celebrations in the office to chomp on too. I'm going to have to continue this on into the new year - its enabled me to save up so much more money towards xmas presents.
Keep it up guys.0 -
Just thought I'd check in. Work is very distant from my mind at present as I dont have to report for duty until Wednesday, although saving money is not. So far I've managed to stick to the straight & narrow by the skin if my teeth - one day last week I got up too late to prepare a lunch & so grabbed some fruit & a tin of soup to take with me to work. This was supplemented by a mince pie from a colleague. I plan to do better for my remaining 3 days.Hope everyone has been more steadfast & is enjoying their festivities.0
