Hi, can you add me please - I'm at work for 18 days this month, and have two lunch meetings, so can you add me for 16days of bringing lunch to work?

I think I'll need to retract my 4/11 as I had to buy popcorn having left mine at home

I did remember to take my soup and my fruit though, so would welcome thoughts from you guys!

I hope I can keep up with this, I'm having a lot of stress at home with my crazy housemates so it's difficult for me to get into the kitchen to cook. I've just been bringing in tinned soup so far! Still cheaper than buying lunch though. Still, I will keep trying!

Ah, that's pants for you... Are there other things you can buy in for your desk/locker/drawer that can be cooked in a microwave with water or a kettle (thinking noodles, dried mash lunch pots, couscous, etc) to have to hand when you can't get into your kitchen, but the times you can get in to compile something (ever just a sarni) then you don't need to use them?

Day 4 done for me

9p porridge for breakfast and lunch was leftover chilli with rice and chips that was popped in the freezer last week.

I hav a few chrimbo biccies with me for a snack - am trying to getmyself to 2 o'clock before I go to make my next cuppa, and will munch the biccies then

We have the second half of our batch cooked lasagne for dinner tonight. I might ask Mr Shortie to cook an extra spud's worth of chips so that I can have a microwved chip buttie for lunch tomorrow

Yay Day 3/20 done for me! I made a quorn pasta bake last night and took leftovers for lunch. Always tastes better second day.

Just put a fruit crumble in the oven, hoping I put enough sugar in. Really felt like doing a comfort pudding tonight.

Day 3 of 21 (#66) for me today.
Had 2 small white rolls with cheese, tomato & spring onions. Also had a small tub thing of fruit - pineapple/pear/peach (in juice). Which had Dole on the label & had already had in the cupboard (bought from Asda). Decided on this instead of the usual packet of crisps. And my usual 500ml bottle of Lidl Freeway Lemonade.

And for dinner tonight. Using up some potatoes, which will end up as mash. Will have some mince/bolognese concoction (mince, tinned tomatoes, some dried chillies seeds, peas, sweetcorn), which i took out of the freezer this morning.

And will also be used for dinner tomorrow night, but with some pasta.
