    Managed to drop my lunch on the floor today. Luckily it was salvageable - the lid came off and I had to throw away a bit but was mainly ok. Phew!


    2/18 for me.

    Day 2/12 for me today. Like others though I need to be a bit more inventive and plan a bit more instead of just grabbing a mugshot as I race out of the door!

    Thank you :) I swear I just didn't know what to do with myself, and I couldn't sleep!

    I have regular eye tests coz I wear lenses... wondering if it could be due to coming in and out of a very bright kitchen to a dimly lit restaurant 500 times a night but I'm sure it's just my body having a hissy fit coz I'm not giving it so much crap!!! Xx

    Has has; Yes I guess it could be that! I can't muster up much will power at the moment the only thing I have managed successfully is saying no to alcohol, failing miserably otherwise :rotfl:

    Today was the first day I forgot my lunch :( spent £4 at work, including a choccy muffin ( I know, naughty!) but I forgot to pick it up! I'll pop down and get one tomorrow.
    Got an Avon lady coming at lunchtime to talk to be about becoming a rep :)

    Under the circumstances it is quite understandable given your constant headaches and a chocolate muffin is just what the doctor ordered !

    Updated to here :)

    Right, i have made a decision (Don't fall off your chairs! :D). I am going to try 2 new LTW's next week. I put work into making the list on the front page, and then just stick to my usual falafel pitta..it's madness!

    Last month, i tried the 'FQ's Lunchsie Sausage Rolls' which were a massive hit, so this month i am going to try some new things again. I am going to have a look and see what i fancy trying :)

    Ooooo... that sounds like a good idea I will have a look and see if I can muster up some enthusiasm for making something.

    Cathybird I hope you feel better soon.

    I worked from home today as I was really tired and achy. We had the remainder of the soup for lunch with toast and our was lovely

    5\22 for me today. I am still feeling really low and struggling to get going with anything.. Must be the January blues:p. I have tried to be organized organized for tomorrow by putting my clothes out and getting my lunch ready. I have tuna sandwiches for tomorrow.

    One thing that has gone really well is my resolution to stay out of the shops. I had a quick look but got bored very quickly which is great :T. And I have decided that take away coffee can only be aFriday thing and am doing well with that so far.

    Sorry I'm a bit down beat tonight due I will be back to normal soon.

    #52 Day 4/12

    Today was Jacket Potato and salad followed by an apple.
    First weigh in at Slimming World tonight and I've lost 2.5lbs, another reason to keep up with this thread! It feels so good not even glancing at the vending machines this week and I actually look forward to lunch :T

    Well today was my first sort of failure so I will say 5/16 Havent been having homemade soup, night before leftovers and yellow sticker bargains but although I had a sandwich bought the night before for 30p for lunch I did buy a small bottle of coke and a cake in Marks on my way home. Not beating myself up about it though as I had allowed myself 1 day off a week to start with. Will now make sure I fill up 2 small bottles from the big one at home each day in future. Hope everyone else is doing well and starting to notice money saving.
