  • Day 6 of 21 (#66) done & dusted today. (I have saved a small fortune this week by NOT buying lunch at work) :-)

    Day 6 for me today #52

    I had leftover Pizza (Slimming World Style), followed by Melon and a Banana.

    I cannot remember the last time I took lunch for a whole week to work, so I am very pleased with my achievements this week

    Have a good weekend everyone :beer:

    Everyone seems to be doing well :)

    I have managed 5/20 so far. On target. Saved loads this week, hope I can keep it up. One lunch was cheese and crackers, using up the last of Christmas cheese from the fridge that would usually get thrown away.

    Lovelife- Night shifts must be a killer!? I have never done shift work, but can imagine it gets quite difficult on the body clock?

    Oh it is. Was in bed for 10 last night and slept right thru til about half 6 this morn. Day off and awake as though as im going off for a day shift. Typical! Oh well. Mustn't grumble. Jobs a job! :)
  • I've managed all week this week...though nearly caved and bought pudding yesterday as it looked soooo nice! I wish head hurry up and decide whether they were going to pay for dinners for teachers in our school on the proviso we sat in the dining hall with them...wouldn't need to resist temptation then! Anyhow...finished my freezer broth yesterday making it5/16 not a bad start to the new year!

    Morning All :)

    Updated to here!

    Buffy-Sorry i forgot to reply on your diary, but have updated you to 5 :)

    I am so glad to hear that you are all enjoying the thread. I only took over the reigns from Kitty last month, and in December there were only about 12 of us, so it was easy :D
    It's great to hear that you are saving money too :) I cant believe how much i am saving on a monthly basis (about £115!!!!). It makes it all worthwhile when i see my savings increase!

    grrmich-i love crackers and cheese :) Nice choice!

    DC- you made 'a man and fresh cream Victoria sponge'..what kind of man is that? If they are easy to make, i'll whip myself up a tall, dark, handsome one please :D

    Cathy- Hope you are recovering well?

    B17c- How are the headaches? Disappeared hopefully.

    We are off out for lunch to celebrate my sons 14th which is tomorrow. I need to go and get some cash out of the bank to give to him. He is asking everyone for cash as he is building his own laptop :)

    Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
