Flaming Heck AFK that's a phenomenal amount!!!!

I should say the money will come in handy, please tell us what you plan on doing with your savings

365 does your son only like certain foods? My son is going through the process of being diagnosed for Aspergers and he only likes certain foods.

MAM has your hubby got hollow legs :rotfl:

Shortie - hoping the queasiness passes soon if you are off your appetite it can make you not want to even think about food I know.

CW - hope the mushroom soup turns out to be OK. Carcluster made me laugh earlier - why is mushroom soup wobbly :rotfl:

Hi there, he is pretty good but doesn't like any kind of sauce or anything with mince. Which actually restricts food. I on the other hand love curries, sweet and sour, spag bol, lasagne etc etc. If you ever have any questions etc feel free to pm me.


Another £3 saved for me today......wasn't the most relaxing lunch as we were told Ofsted would be in tomorrow. I don't work Thursday/Friday, but it's a team thing and have just got back from work and feeling in one way relieved I've escaped and sorry that someone else has to deal with it.

Cheese and pickle sandwich and Hula Hoops for me today, hanging on in there but only enough Piccalilli left for one more sandwich so will have to replenish soon.

I did buy a pack of crumpets for breakfasts though, I've really, really gone off porridge

Bacon and banan sounds lovely and I can thoroughly recommend peanut butter, cream cheese and banana too!

Ham and salad cream sandwich for me today with some snacky bits too. Good job too as I was absolutely starving, ended up on lunch 45 minutes later than planned...still, another £5 in the pot for me!

Sainsburys did some mash pots (own brand) but I haven't looked recently. If you were to cook up a bit of meat, slice it and portion it, bagged up with a bit of onion gravy, and then take a bag and pour it over a pot once the mash was wet again... that could work. Then again, buy a few spuds and make the mash too. I think I might do some mini meals at the weekend, this thread is inspiring me!

Oh now there's an idea, thanks! Agreed on the 'proper mash' too, but was also wondering for speed with smash if needs be

Hello everyone

I'm a bit late tonight - sooorreeee. I've been getting my assignment written up and sent off, another assignment down 2 to go :T.

Anyway back to lovely fooood.

I've made my sarnies ready for the morrow, I've got turkey and stuffing flavoured Quorn roll in them and muller fruit corner and packet of crisps. I'll have crunchy nut cornflakes for brekkie, i'll have to call into Morrisons for those.

Hi juno, it can be hard having to think of new ideas for lunchtime but stick with it as once you find things which are easy to make it will be a doddle

Hey dorajar well done with making those lunches, keep it up :T

Hi Twiggy, well I never thought that making lunches could be a quit smoking aid - Dragon's Den here we come who wants to make the pitch?

Naomim - very well done on the weight loss, don't worry about having the odd blip we're all human after all :j

365 - well done with the savings :T is your son a techno addict? mine loves watching games on you tube he's obsessed.

FatVonD - cheese n pickle sarnies are yummy! Well done for keeping up with the lunches :T don't worry about the odd blip.

Well done with saving the fiver kobrakai, that's a good amount saved :j

Shortie you enjoy your lunch with your friend, it's good to have a treat now and again

Big well dones to Candlewick, Betty Crumble, his missus and MAM :T:T

Glad we are giving you some inspiration bargainbetty :dance:

And finally laughing cow, thanks for the pics I will have a look at those over the weekend :T

Now where's AFK tonight? Really hoping they're not in the take away

Fantastic effort everyone, keep that enthusiasm going :grouphug:

Today I put an extra £10 on my electricty key, which previously I would have spent on work lunches :-)

365days

Kittie - that made me laugh...Yes my son watches games on youtube. I can't believe there are so many, with so many viewers and people who make them too!! It's a strange world!

Naomim

Oh Thank God my son isn't the only one spending hours watching games on YouTube too! My DH doesn't get it but I suppose it's no different to watching a film..

Today is soup and a roll again. I spent £1.52 because I bought the roll and a tub of butter to keep in the fridge at work for emergencies.

Morning :j i dont very often reply to threads, just love reading them, but this one really interested me, mostly because im my many many years of working life i cant hardly remember ever buying lunch :money: im a mobile carer so drive all day anyway so sandwiches are convenient and tasty i usually have good old ham but sometimes have a change......instant mash sandwiches are well lush, peanut butter and jam, chicken paste, brie, cheese, crisp sandwiches (any type or flavour, it really dont matter lol) just squish it down :rotfl: left over dinner of almost anything on bread, bolognaise sauce is proper yummy (nom nom) and of course, like 90% of everything in my life its tesco value stuff and not forgetting yogurts and chocolate bars and crisps and bananas and cereal bars and a bottle of squash. Erm i think my lunch probably costs approx 50p daily maximum! Oh blimey this has made me hungry hahaha, have a good day folks xxxx
