    :hello:Hiya Bublin and Twigster :hello:

    Hellos to everyone else :)

    great to hear you're saving loads of money Bublin :T

    twiggy seeing as though you did actually take your LTW I don't think you should consider this a failure at all. Hope you enjoyed your lunch :D

    I had sarnies, couldn't manage the crisps though so they are sat on my desk. I expect I'll have them tomorrow.

    Keep at it everyone!

  • Hi everyone,
    I spend around £5 a day on lunch and snacks so I am aiming to take LTW for the next 15 days this month saving me approx £75 which I could double if I cut out the bottle of wine every week nite too. Here goes...

    Oops, I did it again. I didn't fail (as Kittie quite reasonably pointed out - thanks Kittie!) as I did bring my lunch with me today (my bread roll is currently sitting in my drawer right next to the cup a soup it's meant to be dunked in), but I ended up eating lunch out. Yep, that makes twice in 1 week. However, it was because my dp rang when he was leaving work to see if I wanted to join him for lunch if he stopped off on his way home, and most importantly, he treated :rotfl:

    Hi, my DD loves coronation chicken sandwiches and our local ASDA has stopped doing their own make, so nearest shop was then Waitrose - and they charge £1.26 for 170g, I'm thinking of making my own.

    Any recipes people can recommend please. Also I want to make in bulk to save time and money - but do you think the end result would be freezable?

    Thanks all
  • Hello everyone

    Today was my 2nd LTW day.
    This was 2 bread rolls, T*sco extra value garlic and herb soft cheese spread, which was very nice and chopped tomatoes. I was on a training course today with no lunch provided so this saved me from going outside.

    Coranation chicken is just mayo and a small amout of curry powder mixed together, with a few raisons if you like them.

    Hello everyone

    My 3rd LTW was Thursday 23/05/13. I had a tin of Baxter's butter bean and carrot soup with the last of the brown bread cakes.
    My 4th LTW was Friday 24/05/13. I took to work left over home made chicken casserole and used up the rest of the cooked rice.

  • Hi
    My 5th LTW was today. I took couscous, tuna flaked and mixed with lemon juice, tomatoes and chopped green pepper.
