Hello, I'm back!!!

Here to report that I am 14\20. It should be 15 but I bought myself some crisps again :mad: I love Frazzles and they were 39p for a big packet :T grrrrr.

Had a horrible couple of weeks. Or bunny has been really poorly and we have had to syringe feed her night and day. Thankfully she has really picked up the last few days so we can miss out the 1am one . That was taking its toll and I have probably spent more on coffee to get through my working day.. But needs must!!!

Now because of the huge vets bill we have to very inventive with packed lunches!!

I am getting a taste for satsumas ATM.. at least they are cheap! Been having quorn mostly this week and some runs and red pepper. Will think of some ideas for next week.
PS my husband makes pasta

Hi folks, can I re-join this thread. I am really struggling with thinking what to take to work at all as I am fed up with what I usually have. Last week I mostly just ate rubbish - totally blowing a month keeping away from sugar out of the water.

This week I am planning to take hot meals to work for lunch with the weather being so cold. I have potatoes which I am going to bake and have with HM coleslaw and butter on Mon and Tue. Wed and Thur I will take some HM macaroni.

Its harder to think what to take for snacks. I want to get back to keeping away from refined sugar so will probably go with fruit.

Thanks Dozey crow - does he reckon it is worth it, in terms of the saving? (or the taste?) It seems to be a lot of faffing about - I saw Nigel Slater doing it on the telly the other night and he had pasta hanging in strips over a clothes dryer etc.

Currently making lasagne to take in to work next week. It smells good.

Hi Cathy, yes he does. It is a bit of a messyjob but the taste is far superior and if you are making tagliatelle or spaghetti you can just leave the strips on the workstation to dry then bag it up once it's dry.

Thank you. So far so good. She seems to be eating enough again by herself so we haven't syringe feed her today. We will see how she is tomorrow. When I went tonight she couldn't get into her food bowl fast enough:rotfl:.. had to be a good sign

Another week completed :j Have completely forgotten when I last updated my total, but by my count I should be now up to 16. My bf bought my last lot of soup as I was working all the times when B+M was open and I refuse to pay higher prices (Morrisons had some soup on special offer and I thought it was expensive, but it was half the normal price :rotfl: so I had weird flavours.

I also went on a work night out on Friday and drank lots of wine.
