  • I've (just) managed every day so far this month. By my reckoning I think that's 8 LTW days I've managed. I'm thinking I might go and make tomorrow's lunch now so I don't have to struggle and rush around in the morning!! (I must also remember to bring lunch boxes home that are currently piled under my desk!)

  • Epic fail on all counts: rubbish day at work didn't fancy the jam and crumpets I had so bought a jacket potato and cheese from work canteen, gave money to a work collection, got home and booked summer holiday so a very spendy day. Tomorrow will be better :)

    Hi all, I didn't manage a LTW yesterday :o I will be doing a late (6pm-2am) shift once a wek from now on and yesterday was that shift. We went out to the shops but the plan was to go back home and have lunch from the fridge / a chill out.. but we spent much longer in town that we had planned so grabbed food up there. I definately can't claim that a LTW day in that case

    But.. I'm in work munching the second half of the goats cheese and red onion quiche, with lo roasties as we speak, so day 7 in the bag for me :)

  • Sorry for my absence, as of today I am 6/16 LTW days down.

    I had to grab a subway earlier this week, and I had one last week too, but I'm sorted for meals for the next week or week and a half!

    I made an absolutely amazing Shepherd's Pie last night if I do say so myself, and a delicious veg soup while it was cooking, and I had some of the pie for my dinner just now. I was waiting for dinner time all day, I was so excited haha :rotfl:
