May I ask how you make the vegetable loaf please?

I haven't tried it yet but was thinking of something like this:

Don't worry - I'm not going to do an update every day, but... Vegetable soup today, fleshed out a little with some left over pasta I had, which used to be my lunch option - but remembering to cook it and optionally make up a pasta sauce at home was a issue; this "lunch at work, buy on Monday" regime frees up that time at home also.

P.S. Had mushroom yesterday - why is mushroom soup "wobbly?"

still 5 for £2 at Morrison's. Bought their own loaf too (wholemeal) 50p - so that's £2.50 for this week's 5 lunches

Afternoon all. Another packed lunch ticked off for me today.

Hellow can I join in?
I had cheese sandwich, peanuts and cereal bar today.

Just eaten the last of my cheese in a toastie, nothing like 6 days of cheese sarnies to make you look forward to a Pot Noodle!

I've also come up with a cunning plan to stop the butter thief. Just my name on the outside isn't working and I didn't want to offend the whole office by sticking a stroppy message on the outside so I've left a little note *inside* the carton.

I wouldn't mind so much if they just scraped the surface like I do but they gouge big random chunks out :mad: it's like having a house guest that squeezes your toothpaste in the middle :rotfl:

You know what you want is a device that when opened by someone other than you sprays bright neon pink paint on them lol :rotfl::rotfl: Then you would know who it was

hello peeps, someone at work would always use my mug despite knowing its mine and shoving it in a different cupboard after use so I got a sharpie and wrote 'I have cold sores and ulcers, feel free to use' on it, never happened again.
Lick the butter and put a note inside saying you've done so lol

We had cheese, ham and salad wraps today, a scone, yoghurt and a satsuma.
Haslet cobs for tomorrow with a pkt of crisps, banana and a slice of chocolate cake or rice pudding (1 tin into 3 is just right, I got a pack of 5 mini tubs from b&m's and they are great for fresh pineapple, strawbs etc oh and making your own jellies)

My leek and cheese frittata/ crust less quiche was tasty today. All gone so have to think again. Not sure if work will be open tomorrow due to snow so might make a quick sandwich in the am if need be. Need to make some more baked oatmeal for breakfast too.

Welcome 166million :jplease feel free to post any lovely lunch ideas

Big hello to everyone else. Hands up if you had snow today? Nothing in S Wales sadly so no days off work for me .

FatVon some people are soooo cheeky! But I like Betty Crumble's style :rotfl:cold sores and ulcers eewww, at least it did the trick

Well we all seem to be bobbing along brilliantly :T I took Quorn madras and rice to work in my little food flask today, I also had crunchy nut cornflakes for breakfast and a banana for this afternoon. I'll be taking cheese, pickle and tomato sarnies tomorrow - yummy cheese!

Keep snuggly warm everyone!

I first started taking my lunch to work back in August. We started a weight loss challenge and I joined slimming world. The work canteen just doesn't cater for healthy lunches and look at you blankly when you ask them for a healthy option!!

Not sure how much it has saved me as my lunches now come out of my weekly food spend rather than me getting a tenner out of the machine at a time (not a day). I also eat a bigger lunch in terms of having a fruit salad as well as my lunch most days.
