For me... music to my ears (or taste buds!)

For him... cousins cousins and rice salad go down like a lead balloon! Pasta salad is possible but probably not often. I'd have more luck with hot meals like chilli, curry etc, that he could have with a roll, or in pitas. He's a pita sometimes lol tbh I consider it a good day if he only takes 1 bag of crisps with him and doesn't buy a bottle of pop.

I've never though about taking family members to work for lunch for a change :rotfl: (Sorry coldcazzie couldn't resist)

8 days of lunch taken to work, very boring as consisted of ham wraps with either chutney, cranberry sauce, chilli jam. Can you tell I'm trying to empty the fridge

Hi Cazzie, not sure whether he likes muesli, but I always have this for breakfast at work. I mix it with some natural yogurt and a bit of chopped fruit or berries the night before - really easy and it's yummy.

Why not? I mean is it the taste or soggy texture? I don't like muesli but love a crunchy cereal with Greek fat free yogurt and fruit for brekkie. Nom nom nom :T.

Only 3 days in office for me. Brekkie & lunch taken in each day, freezer cough ups for lunch :T.

Never asked tbh. I asked yesterday if he was interested in a food flask... he said he wasn't sure. *sigh*

found you... I'd been tarting on the DFW packed lunch thread

managed 5/5 this week.. Aim is to manage every working day up to Feb half term. Lunch in school canteen costs £3 and is rarely much better than edible. I eat much better and enjoy it more when I take my own.

that's where you went wrong don't ask, tell him he's having one and can like it or lump it

5/5 For me last week. I did underestimate how hungry I would be after stretching my stomach for the whole of the Christmas holidays, but small extras like cuppa soups and the odd bag of crisps still left me under budget.

New week everyone - good luck to all.

Today we both have HM Soup and Pate on Toast for lunch. I have HM Lentil & Bacon and DH has HM Potato, Leek & Butternut Squash.

The pate was LO from Christmas and hadn't been opened, but should be used by tomorrow - sounds nice - its Chicken & Chorizo.

I also have banana, satsuma & natural yoghurt.

Porridge had at work this morning - just what you need when its snowy outside.
