    I have done another three LTWs this week.
    Monday should have been a LTW but after my soup, I bought some Mini Cheddars from the Vending Machine :mad:

    Two bagels with salmon, cream cheese and rocket for me today so that's 8 out of 18. The bagels worked out at about £1.75 each so not the cheapest option I could have had, but they were yummy. I could have made them cheaper too if I had bought Tesco basic soft cheese for 40p rather than Philly cheese for £2 from Sainsbury's. Also if I had bought the smoked salmon offcuts supermarkets do now - I did get the salmon on a deal, but could have done that cheaper too. But hey. At least these are the sorts of things I think about now :)
  • Very nearly didn't take my ltw. Felt disorganised when I woke up but found a tin of soup n took that with some bread for toast n dairylea - yum!

    Half way there! #82 - 6/12

    Managed lunch and snack yesterday in work though my morning was pulled in all direction so I got back to my desk just before lunctime and so didn't get time to eat my porridge. Thank goodness I'd had banana at home!

    Oh, WTBSE, there was a chickpea buger recipe linked yesterday on the frugal challenge thread.. it looks quite different to the falafel recipes I've seen so far but I'm going to give them a shot when I get the chance as they might be a nice alternative?

  • DAY 12/20 = FAIL

    My total remains at 11/20 - I am sorry all, I hang my head in shame.

    I bought a bagel for brekkie and I am buying a salad for lunch to go with my soup.

    I’ll go stand in the corner now… L

    #6 for me although I'm pretty sure I'll end up buying a snack today at some point. I'm eating everything in sight :o
