Ja-NEW-ary 2013 - Take your lunch to work thread

Candlewick

Hello Kittiej and everyone.

Kittiej, hope you are feeling much better now.

I have now reached 13 days and a saving of almost £30 so far and am really pleased with that and I still have tomorrow and next Wednesday and Thursday to boost my savings.

I am ready for February! Will need to work out what my savings might be as I only include Wednesdays to Fridays. I would like to at least match my savings for this month.

Tomorrow is cheese & crackers which are already made up and in the fridge to take to work tomorrow.

Enjoy your lunches tomorrow and hooray for Friday

Thought I would poke my head into this thread again as haven't posted in a while. Been really busy at work but have still managed to bring my lunch in So that's another £15 saved on lunches this week which makes a total of £54 since I started on the 2nd .

As for my no takeaways, I have to own up that I caved in on one night and had some fish and chips:eek::eek::( But that has been it so I still think that's pretty good tbh seeing as I was having like 20 of the damn things a month!!!

So nearly £200 pounds saved just from doing my own lunches at work and not having takeaways :eek::T

Hope everyone else is ok and keeping up with those lunches

I forgot one day this week, but doing well! I have finally realised I don't have time to eat anything more than a sandwich and some cucumber sticks or something similar. It takes me moments to put a cheese sandwich together.

Helllloooo :j How is everyone feeling today? I hope you are all in fine fettle and ready for Feb-YOU-ary - LTW thread? Where 'you can do it' will be the motto for the month!

FatVonD - I really apologise for not being around much but that flu thing had me feeling sooo ill. I'm still having trouble breathing but my fingers are a-tippy-tapping again :rotfl:

So to FatVonD, helejenkins, Betty Crumble, Candlewick, kobrakai, AFK_Matrix and lbnblbnb give yourselves a big pat on the back :T and for everyone else taking part but not posting then well done to you too :T

Now let's have a big group hug ready to go for February :grouphug:

Kobrakai & AFK, they are fantastic amounts to save, well done.

Kittiej, glad to see you posting and pleased you are on the mend.

I will have reached my target in days on Monday but am not sure I will reach my financial target but I haven't spent a penny on buying lunch at work so can't have done anymore. If, no, when, I get to Thursday without buying lunch, I can add another £7.89 to my target.

I am going to try and go the whole of February without buying lunch, thanks to the tips, ideas and encouragement on here and pledge a saving of £45 as I shall be working a full month.

Looking forward to February. January has been a long month!

I had a rubbish day on Friday so didn't eat my feta and tomato. Instead ate 3 packets of cheese and onion crisps and then went to St@rbucks for a cup of hot chocolate with a magazine as actually physically not being at my desk is the only way people don't ask me to do stuff in my lunch hour and I really wasn't in the mood for it :eek:

I will be better in February, I will have to be as I have a tax bill to pay now and won't have any money for lunch,but at least I still have feta and tomato in the fridge :rotfl:

Here you are Von - just for you



And CW "Looking forward to February. January has been a long month!"

Amen to that!
