  • Well I completed the first day of the challenge go me! :j
    Tomorrow is a tuna sarnie, cucumber sticks, fruit corner yoghurt, apple, Satsuma, and a small tub of jelly. Breakfast is Weetabix and my flask of tea. I have also decided to put the £5 I spend everyday on lunch in my savings pot :D

    cardi I've been thinking of making a lentil shepherds pie, did you make it?

    Yes I did. It's the Veggie Shepherd's Pie with sweet potato mash on BBC good food. It's lovely! I substitute with normal mash instead.
  • Today I have Lovely Leftovers...

    Wholewheat pasta with beetroot, kale, cannelini beans and garlic topped off with some caerphilly.

    YUM :D
