  • I'm with you on this. It's a case of getting a routine going. I sort my lunches in the evening as I am NOT a morning person. It's sometimes hard and sometimes I'm not organised enough to have anything in that is any good. But I don't have anywhere near as many canteen lunches or break time snacks as I used to. :A

    I've been known to make a whole loafs worth of butties and freeze them ready wrapped - grab a pack in the morning and they are defrosted by lunch. Just need to be careful what fillings you use though. Ham, cheese, tuna all work well with different variations of chutneys.... only need to be organised once a week then.:D

    We have a microwave at work so I use little tupperware pots and freeze leftover homemade soup - take them frozen and nuke for lunch. Again no morning prep required.:D

  • Hi all a good week already for use ups I have used up a body lotion, eyeliner and a foundation!

    All I need next month is foundation and cotton pads :)
  • I had a use up as well:
    a 15ml bottle of L'Occitane almond shower oil.
    Every little bit, right...?

    Another £2 into the pot after a large bottle of aveeno used up and a hair mask treatment I've had for around 2 yrs - some more space gained on the bath shelf!

    The solid shampoo bar is now being used up at a steady rate and space is reappearing in my bathroom cupboard and shelf!

  • 1) I promise to stop buying books from charity shops (I read so few because I'm asleep before I get to the second paragraph!) £2 for each one I read I think as its so rare!

    2) I will stop buying candles... I have a cupboard and a drawer full! Is it ok if I put 50p a candle in as I often burn a couple of tealights every day? Perhaps a pound for the bigger candles.

    3) I'm not going to go to McDonalds for 100 days (oooo- that will be hard!) I would normally go at least once a week so I think a pound a day should be about right....

    So at day 13 -
    -no books bought but none read (must try harder to stay awake!):rotfl:
    - no candles burned but none bought :T:T:T
    -NO TRIPS to McD :eek::eek::eek:
    so £13 in the tin!

    only 87 days to go!!

    Hi

    I haven't been keeping a record of my lunches to work - doh! This week wasn't great as I had lunch at work three times (out of four). The two weeks before were better. Must try harder!

    Two use ups to report = £2 to go in the pot! One shower gel and a shower puff to bin.
