  • #51 9/16 . Well that's me completed the challenge for the month. Finished my current job 2 weeks earlier than intended but thankfully starting my new job a week earlier so I'll be all set for the February challenge and will have a better idea of my goal as I should have a monthly rota. :j

    Well done to everyone reaching their targets, and also well done to those who haven't. As long as you have saved money, that's what counts!

  • Hello everyone,

    I am reporting 20\21. Yesterday I had soup, hummus crackers and fruit. I did shamelessly scrounge a single chocolate digestive off a colleague though which was very much needed :D

    Today's lunch was different as I was on the worlds worst training course where there were no facilities to heat soup and rank coffee. So I took a cheese, tomato and courgette relish sandwich which was lovely, a banana and a clementine.

    We are going out for dinner tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it.

    Thanks for the recipe LESLAMP. I will give that a go next week as I could do with trying something different next week.

    I've taken in lunches everyday so far this week so up to 17/22. Even though I won't make my target, the challenge has definitely made me think twice before spending money at work on lunches or treats :) Role on next month!

    Recruitment events at work with excess lunches and an event centre packed with free biscuits and fruit has made these last two weeks a breeze!

    Declaring at 10/12. Not as good as I'd hoped but been poorly and it was such an effort to actually get to work that I couldn't face sorting lunch too!

    Hit my target today with a hummus and carrot sandwich #81 16/16!

    would have done it yesterday but forgot my lunch for first time. Two days to end of the month and I should reach 18/16. Huge thanks to Want for running this challenge I've loved doing it. Well done to all the LtW gang X
