    4 for me today.

    Chorizo and sweet potato soup and a carrot. Got a banana to snack on later.

    Had to be really good this morning as had to go to Tesco to by cookies for a team meeting but resisted the temptation to upgrade my lunch. Result

    Hi all, I didn;t manage day 3 - I had emergency tinned soup available but I had naff sleep last night and a non-work related stressful morning. Topped off with a stressful/busy morning at work, so my will power dropped to sub-zero and I spent £3.50 on a toasted baguette and bag of crisps from the canteen.

    But tomorrow is hospital day and on paper (ie to do list for tonight) I'm all organised ready to take our breakfast, lunch, plus hot and cold drinks with us so a decent saving should hopefully still be made there

    I think right now, I just need sleeeeeeeep.

    Not sur what time I'll be able to get on tomorrow, but really hoping I can get online and declare it a LT'H' day!

    That's been me today and whilst I really didn't fancy my home-made soup I really didn't feel I could justify wasting £6.00 odd and failing my challenge as I have challenged myself to TLW every working day this month. May allow myself a treat day in March.:beer: so that takes me to 5/20
