    I made two types of soup the other day, have eaten the ham and pea but didnt fancy the butternut squash today - so made a cheese and beetroot sarnie and took a yoghurt. All day at a course tomorrow with lunch being provided ;) Happy days

    Got leftover Mac Cheese with me today with Bacon through it and I seriously cannot wait to get stuck in!

    Got Actimel, Yoghurt & Banana for snacks too!

    Thinking of making a big pot of soup this weekend for my lunches next week. So I welcome all healthy soup recipes!

    Thanks

    Aaaaaaagh - I didn't see this had come back. Can I join at this late stage?
    NO LUNCHES FOR ME IN MAY!!! Normally I allow myself one but I am skint so it is going to be none! So far I've had things like. Leftover pancetta and blue cheese risotto, tuna sarnies, bargain bin ready meal pasta bake and salad, beans on toast and cheese and pickle sarnies. Today is beans on toast :j

    So glad this is back:)

    Hi All,

    Still on my lunches from home. Today I had a bagel with me for breakfast and some salad sandwiches for lunch, got 2 cans from a mulitpack with me for drinks and some Tesco value crisps for a snack.

    Have a good day all,

    Jules
