    I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    Hi All :)
    Got my rota for work next week (we get them on the Fri or Sat for the following week) and i have 1 less day than i thought. So my target is 16 working days, not 17. Kittie, would you change it for me, and i'll do the same in my signature.

    This weekend has been full of car problems (failed the MOT) and i have had to wipe out my tiny savings AND use my Credit Card to pay a bill of £400 to get it fixed. Oh the joys! Got to laugh or i'd cry!

    So, i am going to be even tighter with money over the coming months now.

    Bring it on!

    Ooh I want one of those sistema lunch boxy things, might have to get myself one.

    Sorry to hear about people having difficult times. Hope everyone is getting some time to relax this weekend. Good luck with writing your assessment kittiej, sounds good if it is an end of course one!

    I am upto date and currently on 6/11 days. Can't update my sig for some reason. I also took cold pizza one day and salami and rocket sandwiches on the other.

    Hi KT, I'll update you. I'm having a break from the writing atm. This is the end of module assessment and I cannot wait to see the back of this course if I am honest. Hopefully I'll pass and that's the first year of my degree completed woo-hoo :beer:

    Well done :T

  • Evening everyone,

    Can't actually remember what I took to lunch for Thursday and Friday but I definitely took it in from home! It might have been cheese sandwiches one day but the other I just can't remember!

    Hope you are all enjoying the weekend x

    I have some left over sausage casserole from dinner tonight and am wondering if it's be too disgusting to eat cold for lunch tomorrow...

    Is there no way you can take it warmed up in a flask? I bought a little food flask for these types of things but I don't know if an ordinary flask is the same but with a smaller neck? *shrugs*

  • It's a bit late in the month, but please can I join in? I have 11 working days left this month and would like to aim for 9 breakfasts and lunches from home.

    I have bought a box of weetabix to Take to work for breakfast with a bunch of bananas, so that's breakfasts sorted.

    I have made chicken, salad sandwiches , bag of crisps and some chopped mixed fruit for tomorrow lunch. I have planned the rest of the weeks lunches too, but only want to actually post when they are made and in the fridge waiting for morning :)
