    4 more for me last week - 3 days of taking in a homemade version of an M£S's fuller longer salad, plus 1 day work event where lunch was provided - definitely not healthy but yum! So that takes my total to 10

    Hoping for another 4 next week, 3 home made and 1 provided by another work trip.

  • Hi all, had a great week and now have notched up 13 .....

    Should have a great week coming up too. Two working lunches and one working breakfast (provided on the train).... So only have to take three days :). In fact 'train to London day' will be smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, toast and juice for breakfast....sandwiches, fruit, nibbles of the way back...and a working lunch in the middle. So will have free food all day :T.....makes tomorrows ham salad sandwich yogurt and banana seem a bit dull though :cool:

    Have a great week everyone x
