I'll be continuing to take my lunch to work each day. I got a food flask for Christmas so can take a bigger range in.Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.0

Good afternoon all
Have updated and added up to here.
Welcome to all the new people, jump right in! We are a very friendly bunch, so dont feel intimidated.
Cherryjack-can you let me know your target number please
sams- yes, that counts. The main thing is that the sarnies were in your house this morning and you took them to work with you. You didnt pop out at lunchtime to buy them, so all is good
I waited until i got home from work to have lunch, so am eating it now. I didnt fancy sitting in the car as the weather is truly awful out there. I hate driving in this weather, aquaplaning all over the road!
Instead of the risotto, i am having a bagel with cheese spread, some baby plum tomatoes, a banana and a packet of bacon crisps.
So, today is #2 for me0 -

Oh no, Id deffo say that counted. I sometimes bring in ready meals from the supermarkets - I tend to go for reduced bits as I don't buy ready meals for dinners, so I buy them when they're cheap to 'stock up' for lunches when i can't be naffed to make something
So I'd definately say that counted
Yay! Thank youWantToBeSE wrote: »
