    Oooh, could I join this thread please, this is a new one for me.


    I've taken lunch in every day this week, and normally would except for Thursdays as the whole department go out for a (subsidised) meal.


    As we've only got three weeks left this month, can I please go for 12 days?

    Morning all :)
    I don't start work until 10am today, so a more relaxed start to the day!

    Have been getting my LTW ready- i decided on a BLT wrap this morning. It certainly smells lovely! Ii had some leftover bacon so thought i'd give it a whirl :)

    Have started washing the dishes, then updated my Spending Diary on here (feel free to go over and say Hi!), now just relaxing for 5 mins until i have to leave and get petrol before going to work!

    Have a great day everyone, and I'll update you when i get home.

    Morning people! Just spent a while catching up on posts!

    LESLAMP - Hiccy Burpday for Sunday! :T :beer:

    Cathy - are you feeling better after your tummy bug?! Hugs to you coz I've just had gastroenteritis and it was awful, I feel your pain!

    Gwengeth - how's your new job going?! :)

    Dozey Crow - that muffin was amazing! They gave it a blast in the microwave for me so the chocolate sauce in the middle was warm and gooey... :)

    Pinot - what's it like living in Abu Dhabi?! I'd love to work/live somewhere exotic for a while, see another side of life and cultures etc I had a friend who worked for Etihad Airlines and she lived there, though it was party party party for her! I'm not the party animal :)

    I can't find the post now but someone was having eggs and bacon! I think I'll have that for lunch :)

    I don't start until 6pm today so all my meals will be at home which makes it 9/20 for me :)

    Red lentil and tomato soup
    marmite sandwich
    leftover vegetarian sausage

    grapes, banana, clementines. Extra banana for pre-yoga snack

    Have really enjoyed this week's home made lunches. Need to stock up over the weekend and maybe make some more soup; cupboards and freezer are emptying.

    Well done all the LTW-ers :money:
  • Well I was going to come in and say another day down but the lid flew off the salt and ruined my lovely home cooked chilli thy I was really looking forward to :(

    Subway for me today :(
