    I'd like to join too :) Can you put me down for 22 days ? I'm getting married and buying a house this year so I need to save every penny I can!

    I am now prepared! I went to B+M and spent £15, and got lunch stuff for a week, as well as other bits too. If I'd bought lunch, I'd have spent just £15 on Meal Deals :eek:

    Hi everyone.

    Haven't ventured onto this board before, but I'm keen to get started. This challenge sounds great. Can you please put me down for 14 days? (I have some planned sick leave in January, so I can't commit to all working days)
  • Hi everyone,

    Another newbie here.

    This is such a good idea - especially as the shops near our office charge six quid for a jacket potato with filling! It's really nice, but seriously!

    So can you put me down for 20 days please!

    Thanks!

    Good grief!!! Do you work in London?
  • I generally do this, but got a bit lazy in December, so committing to a challenge should help get me back on track.

    Not sure how to get big n bold on iPad.......


    Please can you put me down for 21 day

    We don't eat blue cheeses but were left a heap of the stuff from Christmas so am thinking of using it up this way.

    .

    We love blue cheese - its actually very good with apricot jam (trust me) We have blue cheese, jam, salad, avacado baguettes sometimes and they are amazing

    Today I am testing out our new work microwave with a jacket potato, cooked at home, will reheat it and then also brought in pot of cheese to top it off with. Plus a slice of HM Brownie :)
