    Toast and humous for me today. nom nom nom.
  • oooh I love humous....esp the red pepper and the herby flavoured ones you get from the supermarkets. I would never have thought of that for a work lunch - I only ever get it in restaurants....but it always fills me up.

    I had more packet pasta yesterday this time with a tin of mushrooms (I didn't know you can get them either til I saw them at the back of the cupboard at home).

    Today i've got boring cuppa soup and an orange. Yawn. I've been spoiling myself with fancy pasta and tasty beans on toast for so long cuppa soup is really dull in comparison. Still on 0 bought lunches. Woo hoo.
  • I bought lunch on Mon, but other than that I've been very good this week so up to 11 HM Lunches, including today :)

    Yesterdays sandwiches were nice - ham, cucumber and garlic cheese spread, and OH has taken the leftovers from last night's meal with him today, so it will be the same again today lol

  • Well its a grabbit lunch for me......tin of beans and a potato. I didn't have time for breakfast either so grabbed some yogurt coated raisins on the way out of the door and have had them with a cuppa at work (padded out with a biccie from a pack a rep brught in). Tomorrow I may have to make sandwiches rather than grabbing random items from the cupboards on my way out of the door - one day I know i'm going to end up with a pack of cooking sauce instead of a cuppa soup.:rotfl:
  • I'm going to go over this month. Will be 5 bought lunches cuz I have a leaving lunch to go to next week and I'm out at training as well. Ah well. not too bothered as it's not very expensive and better than before still :) Tomato and lentil soup this week.

    All good for me this week :T

    Today is a little bit of cous cous I had left over mixed with a tin of tomato soup. nom nom nom. Didn't want to have bread so the cous cous seemed like a good alternative.
  • Have been eating breadsticks for lunch for the last couple of weeks ;) Doing very well on the challenge this month - have only bought lunch twice, and that was only £2 to supplement what I'd already got in the office. Go Me ;)
    :grin: Save me from spending...
