    I'd like to join please! Usually try and bring lunch anyways to keep costs down but this will give me another incentive!

    Gonna go for the full 22 working days in May please, already 2 down.

    Yesterday & today I just have salad leaves, carrot, tomatoes, sweetcorn, ham & salad cream. 1 banana, 1 yoghurt & 1 actimel.

    Probs have the same tomorrow to use up leftover salad.

    Looking forward to getting some tasty ideas for lunch!

  • I flitter in and out of this challange and have decided that I need to get back on track with lunch spends, getting df and using up items in the store cupboard.

    I'm going to go for one shop bought lunch this month, a pay day treat from a local sandwich shop.

    Today I've got a prawn salad with lots of fruit to snack on throughout the day. At lunch I'll go for a walk to wake up the brain cells and get some much needed exercise!

    Good luck everyone.

    Would like to join this - have been slipping lately and buying lunch on the way in (no canteen at my place and middle of nowhere so at least can't buy anything when I get there!)
    I have 22 working days in May so will say 18 to give me a little bit of leeway. Yesterday had southern style quorn burger on bread and some crisps - so not the healthiest! and today leftover sweet and sour veggies and quorn pieces. Ended up getting drinks on the way in though so need to work on that part :(
    Also am working the election on Thursday - 6.30am - 10pm - am not allowed to leave the building and don't know if they will have a microwave or anything so need to think what to take for cold breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks!

    Count me in please. I couldn't ever find the April one so glad to see May back!
    Please put me down for 15 - a bit ambitious, but I'll have a go!
