    Gooood moooorning evvvvvreeeeone, woo-hoo! :j

    Hope you all have your lunch at the ready :D

    Suziebabe I'm sure we'd all love to see some pics, maybe you eating whilst riding? We could play guess what Suzie's eating :rotfl:

    JustKaren the nation's noodle pot noodles were on offer @50p each in ASDA last week, don't know if they are still on offer but I picked a couple up. There's a bit of a story and battle between Pot Noodle owned by Unilever (what don't they own!) and The Nation's Noodle owned by Golden Wonder (Tayto).

    That's why there are often price wars between them ;)

    OK that's enough of the history of the cup noodle for today #I'msuchageek!

  • Hi folks,

    just about to tuck into HM corned beef quiche, and a sandwich for lunch . I have also got Lemon slice and fruit for Tea break later this afternoon.

    Yesterday I was on a course so lunch wasn't brought from home but was free, so can I count that?

    If so that's 2/20 for me

    Hi mrs m, of course you can count your freebie lunch. It's even better since you didn't need any of your own ingredients, well done :T

    2/23 for me please. Soup & Rolls yesterday & Toasties today.

    Getting sick of cheese and ham but its my default if I am rushing to make lunches the night before! Think I will try to make extra when cooking so I can have lunch size portions of pasta/pizza etc to brighten things up a bit.

    Hi, I'm in for 17 days please (all the days I'll be working in October). I will also endeavour to eat from stores rather than buying lunch out on Fridays which are my day at home with DS.

    Yesterday I brought cous cous salad (rocket, tomatoes, peas, avocado) and today I brought leftover quiche with broccoli, peas and salad.

    2/17.

    :hello:

    Took me a while to find you!

    Can I sign up for 17 days please?

    I can kick off with 2/17 - yesterday was humous, carrot and rocket wraps and today was the remaining half of the YS'd soup I had on Monday night, plus a wrap with humous, carrot and YS'd falafel (popped in the microwave for a bit). So tasty!

    EDIT: actually, yesterday was leftover veggie savoury crumble with the cheese that had been hanging around in the fridge for a while. Monday was humous wraps. Oh god, how can it be only wednesday...
