Hi everyone, well I've managed 5/5 so far.
I made a batch of soup on Sunday which lasted all week, so not only have I done a full week of LTW, it hasn't cost me anything.
Today everyone else in the office had chips for lunch and I resisted. If I wasn't doing this challenge, I would have got some as as treat for bringing soup all week.
It's one of my colleague's birthday next week and we usually buy lunch, so I'm glad I gave myself a couple of days allowance from LTW, so I can join in.
So far, so goodSPC # 348 2014-£169.07/2015 - £156.89

I've managed to take lunch to work on 4 days this week, which is what I had planned. Not feeling that inspired about what to have for lunch next week...although lunch will be provided for a meeting on friday so that's one less day for me to think aboutMortgage-free wannabe 2025 £571/30000
