Evening All

Welcome lillian1977, hope you've got some lovely recipes to share
lottie it's all down hill for the rest of the week :T
Well done everyone :T:T:T I will update everyone.
DH and myself were a bit (extremely) naughty today and had lunch from Greggs but it's not a working day so I'm using that as my excuse, there's a custard slice sat in the fridge calling me to eat it

Nothing interesting yet....
Yesterday was cheese and marmite sandwich ( in a toaster bag!)
Today, well.. I was out with work last night and didn't get a chance to make anything when I rolled in early this morning (!). Grabbed some bread and hoped I would find something in my draw! Found a mug shot so had that with my bread
Tomorrow won't be that great either. Working late and don't fancy sandwiches again so I'll have leftover pizza. £1 in asda so 50p lunch not bad
I will start cooking things for dinner later in the week so I can have leftovers0 -
well caught bt with the mug shot :T
Mmmm my mate, Marmite - another Unilever product

Morning All,:hello:
I have a whole load of food today including..Toast for breakfast (just eating it now)....for lunch I have made a tuna and pasta salad, which looks so much nicer than the shop bought one I used to have also fetched a banana, an apple and 2 plums and a some soup.
Before you all think I am on some woman versus food challenge, I am stuck here until 8.00pm so its a long day, which is normally a trigger for popping out about 4 oclock to buy something to keep me going.
hope you all have a great day...:)Well Behaved women seldom make history

I've just seen this thread for the first time and would love to join in please! I really struggle with motivation for lunches so hoping this might be the challenge I need! I have 17 working days left in October (on hols for a few days)
I'd like to aim for 10 to start with I think. I have a kettle and a microwave but I am limited to dry foods or meals as I can't take soups/yogurts/cream/fluid over 100ml through security, will read suggestions fully and report back!0 -

Last night's bulghar wheat with roast veggies and chicken making its way into my stomach as I type...
Also got the rest of the falafel and humous and a spare wrap from yesterday, which I might have later as I don't have time to go home before running club tonight. I seem to be hungry all the time at the moment!“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.”
