  • All day meeting today meant lunch was provided. I'm not a fan of sandwiches usually but when I've not paid they taste amazing!

    Evening All :)

    Welcome lillian1977, hope you've got some lovely recipes to share :D

    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 :D I am such a bad kittie :rotfl:

    I'm checking in with 2/20.

    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 :D

    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 :p

    I will start cooking things for dinner later in the week so I can have leftovers

  • Evening all!

    Checking in with 2 /23

    Yesterday I had soup and a leftover baguette I found at home.

    Today I had a grilled chicken breast and some cous cous.

    Lunch is all prepped for tomorrow, I think I'm getting the hang of this

    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...:)

    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!
