Going well for me this week. No temptation to go out buying lunch = no temptation to go out buying make up :cool: :T Woohoo.
Leftover paella-type thing OH made. Tasty tasty. Still some left for tomorrow and still got some leftover soup. Decisions decisions...0 -
Well done everyone keep up the good work - we're nearly there!
Today I have brought some uncle bens micro mediterranean veggie rice - pretty fancy for something found in the back of the cupboard behind all the tins of beans huh?
But the bosses go for fish & chips on a friday and sometimes take pity on me (esp if i've been working hard) and treat me to chips!!!! So either way NO BOUGHT LUNCH!!!!0 -
NOOOO!!!!!! I got picked up by a colleague at 5:40 this morning (an unusually early start) and didn't make my lunch. Looks like today will have to be No. 2 this month

Had to buy lunch yesterday as our staff room, with microwaves, was closed for graduation, we were only told the day before so no time to sort anything cold out. So it was a jacket potato with cheese and beans for me but still more than on target this month.Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000

I haven't bought a single lunch so far! It helps that I only get a 30minute lunch and therefore don't have time to go anywhere. :rotfl:0

Almost there guys - yorkielass hope your canteen is back up and running to help you with the challenge.
Mother-in-law bought a batch of little pot of couscous/prawns on sale late last night from the supermarket they've all got to be eaten by 2moro so she's donated some to me. Food's always so much nicer when someone else buys it for you! 2moro will either be soup or beans on toast......using up the tins out of the cupboard!0 -
