    I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    Barely made it to work this morning. Trees in the road, gales, floods etc. But made it there (and back) in 1 piece.

    Didn't have a wrap in the end, was far too lazy, so just took a cereal bar, drink, banana and packet of crisps. Not the healthiest! but never mind, another LTW day done and dusted.
  • 2/16 for me. Packed luch already for tomorrow, taking in some pasta and salad instead of the usual soup. :)

    Hi all

    Day 4 for me today, black bean chilli and brown rice. It's pre-leftovers, i.e. it's what's left from the meal I've made for us tomorrow night!

    4/16
  • Have brought lunch today although it was just by the skin of my teeth.

    Chucked some salad bits in a box and grabbed the dressing from the fridge as I was rushing out the door!!!!

    Massively overslept this morning but thankfully just 2 mins late for work!!

    No. 4 for me!

    Well, I did buy a bright pink toilet seat on my lunch break on Tuesday, but I didn't eat it so that's ok :)
