    I had a boring day today :(

    I had cheese sandwiches as I didn't have anything else in, a spider chocolate left over from halloween, and a tin of pineapple.

  • Evening,


    I resisted Temptation because of this thread!!!


    People at work spoke of a place called "Greggs"......this mystic place which is a mere 5 minutes from the coal face sells FOOD of many varieties most importantly CAKE .


    there was much talk of all going together and eating but although deeply tempted at the thought of a doughnut I did not go. I ate my quiche and salad like a good take your lunch to work person.


    I think this takes me to

    It was cheese sandwich because I didn't have anything else, though. If I'd chosen to have cheese sandwich it would have been great!

    Leftover Diet Coke Chicken and it was yummy, the morning dragged so much as I was looking forward to eating it!
  • 2 more days into it and I'm starting to forget about the staff restaurant, and if I need a reminder, I think about the £75 I've saved so far!:D 12/22
