    Chilli 'lasagne' - chilli as the bolognese and tortilla wraps as the lasagne sheets - white sauce and cheese. Perfecto :)

    Wobble.......
    I think i'm going to fail today. I've got unappetizing carrot and corriander cuppa soup and some bread crusts and a yogurt....plus money in my purse. Would it really be wrong to pop to the corner shop and buy a tin of a nice flavoured soup?

    Not as nice today :D

    Fruit loaf with cheap (and cheap tasting) butter... Oh well, 2 more lunches to go for Feb :T

    Go for it missworks2jobs!! ;) With my 'save on work lunches' I only include sandwich shop trips - think it's fine to go to the supermarket and buy stuff to make up etc.
