    First day done - bag of salad leaves on the turn with some croutons and a couple of slices of ham - not very exciting but cheap.

    I've made some soup to bring in tomorrow, and have it ready in a bowl to microwave in the morning before plonking it in a flask. Soup should last a couple of days. Got some emergency ham rolls in the freezer as a back up for when I've been lazy.

    Looking forward to not spending money on lunches this month.

    Today I have been taking the Christmas decorations down and other household tasks so nothing to exciting. Been feeling a bit down today for some reason.

    I feel a bit down too... I miss having my tree and lights on! It's probably just the back to reality feeling though I'm looking into getting some of those indoor fairy light things you can get! A friend has a stick plant thing with fairy lights on, does anyone know where I can get one??

    Anyway, day 5 of LTW for me, and a banging headache so off to bed!
    Day off tomorrow and prob a shopping trip but I'll post in the morning.
    Goodnight all!

    Bag is packed for tomorrow - half a tin of fruit, a banana, a bag of popcorn (YUM!) and some ham sandwiches. I have a long day as I'm working in another city and it takes me 90 minutes each way to get there, so I'm packing lots of food to reduce temptation to spend extra money :D

    First day back at work today and I took in my caldo verde (and a bagel for breakfast). So that's day one of 20 done. :)

    Had a very boring peanut butter sandwich.

    Thats 2/20 done
  • 1 of 16 done!


    Banana, apple and some seeds for breakfast.
    Satsumas for snacks
    Ham salad sandwich for lunch. HM bread was a bit too soft and bread knife is rubbish so its a bit of an uneven doorstop!
