Done pretty well so far, had to buy one lunch so far but that was a soup and roll from sainsburys costing about £1.50.

Keep up the good work folks

Helloooo :hello:

Twiggy I had the pot noodle on Monday, it was OK tbh better than expected. Mmm cake! You lucky thing :rotfl:

Didn't do so well today as I bought a French bread pizza at lunchtime for 75p so a small spend today. Never mind, must do better on Thursday

Well done happy_bunny :T

Hope you are all in a cheery mood

Hi Guys :j

Well today was not as I had planned and I didn't take any lunch to work. I was too tired last night and couldn't face food first thing this morning. I need to get myself into a good routine including buying ingredients

Hope you are all doing much better than I am

I've done better this week than last, I've been having salads again but forgot to bring any today but I have ham and half a tub of houmous in the fridge and will buy a tub of Waldorf salad to go with it

Had a surprise Thursday and was invited to attend the lunch provided at work for a day long business meeting, even though I was only contributing to part of the afternoon session so ended up not having to use my own lunch at all, AND it was from the neighbouring subway store I've been avoiding all year so a double bonus! :T

I'm all set for next week with spinach, ham and Waldorf salad (and still lots of olives left in my HUGE jar.)

I will need to buy crumpets and nuts on Monday morning though as the crumpets at Mr T today were short dated and they'd sold out of the value cashew nuts and I'm boogered if I'm buying the expensive ones!

I did buy finest Waldorf salad though as it's to die for

Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch!?!

I fell into your March thread and out again but just found you again everyone seems to he doing fab, my 6 year old as well as myself take packed lunches now daily and I bet we save at least £80 a month its crazy to think of my Ds 5 days a week at his age costs between 50-60 a month these days, going to have another look for new ideas for some snacks to cook tomorrow whilst ovens on x

i managed to take lunch 3 days out of 5. i was feeling really off key at the end of the week and pretty much went work, and straight home to bed.

Think this week may be a write off as don't have much in, but we will see.

Any ideas for cous cous?

Hello everyone :j

I'm in the same boat too curly as I don't seem to have much in. I might just take cup a soup and slices of bread and Weetabix for breakfast.

I can't help you with the cous cous as my DH doesn't like and won't have it in the house

Sending everyone a big injection of motivation
