Personally if I am told that I am being made redundant I will jump for joy as this is what I'm hanging on for. Redundancy would more than cover the price of a Masters degree course I fancy doing :T:dance:

That sounds interesting! In that case, fingers x'd for you!

I've done better today thanks to some banana's which were going over the the fruit bowl and starting to stink the flat out, so I made some sarnie's for today. My crisp & chocolate tub that I was really organised with earlier on the challenge is now empty, but I'm going to keep it that way until I've lost this pesky 1/2 stone which refuses to disappear. Our tenants are moving into dad's house next week so I have to finish all the odd jobs that need to be done by then, once they're in that will free up a ton of time and I'll try dedicate that to lunchbox and evening meal preparations (maybe even a spot of exercise!).

hey everyone am back on here after a few weeks away. Loving this thread as always. Last night I made a mushroom risotto for dinner and have some leftover for lunch today - mmm. I also made a tortilla as had some new potatoes which needed cooking and so can have that cold/warm with salad/olives tomorrow. Plus yoghurt and fruit each day and an emergency chocolate biscuit for afternoons! Enjoy your lunch everyone!

Hi mrsdee, nice to see you again the mushroom risotto sounds lovely.

feeling a bit like a dunce, couldn't work out why the lunch thread hadn't been updated since april and then realised it was because it was the April thread!

I have made some chicken skewers for lunch tomorrow and will also be taking some celery and cucumber and humous to snack on.

I have lunch provided for me Tuesday, so this week I am hoping for 3 days of taking my own

Hello everyone

I managed my 1st LTW last week on 9th. I had a cheese salad using mushrooms, tomatoes and celery.

Debtfree future.

Last week I took lunch in every day! Some days I had homemade quiche and some leftover pasta.

We had a pie today for lunch so with some leftovers I have a lovely big pasty for my lunch! Good luck everyone x

Hi Guys :j

Some great successes going on there :T

I had LTW 2 days last week and will only have 2 days again this week so easy peasy :rotfl:Speaking of which - I'd better go and make sandwiches before I forget.

Great work everyone :T

Hiya. I'm joining this thread.

I've made a huge salad this evening for work tomorrow. I worked out the cost to be about £1.05.

Prepared sweet leaf salad (1/3 of bag from Aldi)
Piece of cucumber sliced
1 salad tomato sliced (Aldi deal)
Tin of tuna mixed with small amount of mayo - huge serving - lol.

Also taking in my 55p Aldi Porridge pot for breakfast and a small container of grapes for a snack.

There is a water cooler at work so i refill my bottle there.

I've taken in lunch every day for the past two weeks. I'm saving so much money.

I had my first LTW fail today. A friend of mine had a job interview in the village I work so we arranged to meet for lunch when she'd finished. It was a special occasion though and the cafe I took her too was quite cheap, so I'm going to let myself off this time.

However, I had to laugh as I pulled in to work this morning and realised that I'd already prepared and brought LTW having completely forgotten about my lunch date. At least I can't forget tomorrow as it's already in the fridge waiting for me! :rotfl:
