    I had my fourth and final bought lunch today. Not bad going seeing as two of them were from days out in London and I've been counting weekends as well. Just need to remember to eat at home this weekend and I'll have reached my target! Woo!

    I'll have managed 13 lunches from home - I really really wanted cheesy chips today and my limp salad sandwich wasn't cutting it I'm afraid! Next month will be 14 lunches from home of the 15 available to me! 4lunches will be at home and 5 lunches will be on holiday...

    Brought sandwiches with me today, so I'm declaring only 1 bought lunch this month.

    Will use that as my target for March too.

    Yay! I met my target! Woo!

    Went out for lunch yesterday which could have spelled failure, but fortunately my friend offered to pay. Nothing tastes as good as a free lunch, lol.

    Congrats to all who met their target this month. And better luck next month to those who didn't.

    Can I please pledge 27/31 homemade lunches in March? I think counting the weekends has really helped me this month.

    Good luck everybody.

    Well done guys, I'd like to join you for March if poss? I'm trying to pay off a huge chunk of a credit card, just trying to figure out how many days I'll be working in March and then let you know how many non-boughts I'll be aiming for (basically all of my working days!!).... 23 please :)

    I've ended the month on 17/16 as I've brought my lunch with me today, including HM weetabix cake and HM flapjack :D

    Next month I will be aiming for: 18/22 HM lunches

    I've only paid for food on 2 lunch times this month out of 20 - so 18/20 for me.

    I'm going with 19 out of 23 next month - allowing me one a week if I meet up with someone for lunch.

    Made a veggie lasagna and tuna pasta bake yesterday and freezer is full now so no excuse!
