    Same here -- if i've eaten brekkie (2 slices of marmite toast) then I'm never hungry at lunch time. I normally get peckish at about 3pm - but thats when I'm picking the kids up so can't do anything about it........tea's normally at 5.30 so I wait till then.

    I know its probably bad for me to miss lunch but hey ho....

    I always have brunch as I never get hungry until 10.30 and with getting the kids off to school I don't have time for breakfast anyway.

    So I've just had 2 slices of bread spread with piccallili, pate and topped with cheshire cheese and shoved it under the grill until the cheese melted.

    We had the end of a bag of frozen Smartprice chips. Not exactly healthy, but with all the cleaning and ironing I did yesterday I didn't have the time to make the Shepherds pie like I was going to.

    Considering I've just sat and ate a bag of smartprice midget gems for my breakfast ( :naughty: ) I doubt I'll be eating lunch today. However I nearly always have a sandwich and a piece of fruit, my daughter has the same, but OH takes crisps, chocolate biscuits and rich tea biscuits to work with him (I bulk buy them for him so he can keep them in work and won't let them back in the house otherwise I'd eat them all) as well as fruit and sandwiches everyday!

    I have either a yoghurt or a jelly that I've made myself. And instead of sandwiches, crisps etc... I take a huge pile of fruit with me.

    Hi All

    I'll be having a jacket spud with either cheesy spicy beans and tons of butter or jacket spud with cheddar and salad.

    I have to eat regularly for my tablets and high calorie diet. ;) If I dont have lunch I get very shaky and light headed :eek:

    Not sure about lunch today. I'm at the hairdressers at 12 (Eve magazine free cut & 25% off colour!) so not sure when I'll fit it in. I ususally try to have something out of the freezer, but I've had HM leek & potato soup twice this week & don't fancy it again. Probably will just have a rummage round for a couple of slices of bread for cheese on toast (with ketchup).

    Do you make your own mayo?
