  • Hello,

    I did well last month, took sandwiches and snacks every day, spending nothing on additional food :T. I worked out that I spent £6.30 on two coffees and a tea which isn't too bad I suppose spread over three weeks.

    This month I am working 21 days and pledging lunch for 20. Hopefully I will be working from home for 4 of them but we still have a packed lunch and we have a team lunch this month when we go to Nandos.. so 20 it is.

    Thinking about this weeks... probably quorn, tomato and lettuce tomorrow as I got the 'fridge raider'style pieces ys for 59p). Not sure about the rest of the week yet... well have to have a think...

    Monday tomorrow.. Yay:T.:j

  • hi, may i join please i am away from 5th oct to 19th but want to try to do it for the rest of the working month please
  • Count me in! 18 days is this month's target as I've got some days off work towards the end of the month. Have given up on the new lunch target, having failed miserably last month!
