    Hi KJ and everyone,

    The job is going great thanks. I feel like I have been there for years and years! It is nice to feel valued y too... People ask me for advice and I haven't quite got used to that yet!:)

    I have been doing really well with my lunches again this week. One day of cheese, two days of tuna crunch and prawns. I am working from home tomorrow so we may go out for lunch or have a hot lunch of some sort for a change.

    I am really pleased to be so organized because sandwiches are such a rip off. There is a cafes round the corner and a takeaway egg sarnie is £2.45 :eek: I take all food (being greedy I need snacks!) But I have made a point of going for coffee with colleagues if they offer as it is all part of fitting in. Besides it's only a couple of pounds.

    Hope everyone is having a nice week and Edwardia if you are reading... please come back.

    I used to just discard them if we are not able to finish it but now atleast we have to reheat it once or do batch packing and put it in the freezer. I encourage laziness - nah, it's more like having more free time instead of habitual cooking every meal. Now, we just reheat it.

    Day 16 for me and if I bring lunch in on Monday I will have hit target by the skin of my teeth.

    I must try to vary things a bit more in October, much as I love the new Philadelphia with Salmon and Dill on crackers I think I worked my way through three tubs of it in September (it was on special offer though :))
    Worrying won't stop bad stuff from happening, it just stops you from enjoying the good.
