    oooooo SNOWDROP OVERLOARD - like the sound of that :D:D:D

    I did bring my lunch but :o:o:o ended up buying something scummy in the caf! (it's subsidized) SIGH - nothing unhealthy mind you - we have a new chef - he did a bed of salad with a piece of multi-seed granary with two poached eggs on top with feta, sun-dried tomatoes, kale crisps & zaathar seasoning drizzled on top in lieu of dressing - it was divine...

    ...my willpower is non-existant when it comes to cheap beautiful vegetarian food made for me...

    ...but I did stick to my little snacks brought from home - healthy & portion controled!:D yeah me?!?

  • RTi have to say your lunch chef doesn't pay fair. That sounded lush. I'm not telling my soup and toast. Hope you enjoyed it. I've still to crank up to fly lady, don't want to peak too early.

    Moo in who won, chick pea smush (can't spell hoooomus either) or nandos? I've recently discovered nandos and they're chicken thighs are ace.

    Starnac how are the tiddlers? I suspect re overlordedness, I just get more headaches....:-)

    EH we try and portion pre tea here to avoid giant portions, the old clear the food addadge is still with me from childhood. Well done mr eh for provinging you a good start as a green grocer. Haggis says yes please by the way.

    We are now looking at flights fr April due to new found overlord status and they're cheap (60) so emailing last years flat and seeing if we can get that for 100 again. Could mean a sneaky extra trip for under 400 with car hire.

    Cheery how did the valuing go? We had a viewing yesterday cancelled due to work commitments but bloke says hr'll try again in a couple weeks we'll see? Spent weekend at flat repairing some paint damaged by more roof leaks whilst he was repairing said leak.

    Never ends.

    Ooh, <bows down to new Snowdrop Overlord> :D

    Sorry to hear about the viewing, I'd half forgotten you were still trying to sell the flat :o Viewing went well here and I've already started painting :D All excited today - looking forward to work (although, er, I still haven't left the house clearly :o :rotfl: ) and looking forward to getting home so I can do some more painting :D :rotfl:

    Lunch is leftovers, and Mr Cheery (who is in charge of buying food, and self-appointed dinner-cooker at the minute) has cooked up a treat! Boiled potatoes, some kind of light risotto thing, home made coleslaw, and a green salad with olives and blue cheese. Yum! He's made tea every night for when I've got home from work and parcels up my leftovers for me - I feel like some kind of 1950s businessman going into the office some days :rotfl: Also got some yogurt, fruit and cereal bars - I do like to eat :o :rotfl:

    Can't keep a stash at work really as I just eat it :o:D but I do have a stash of hot chocolate :j :j

    Lunch here will be tea and toast. Very boring but made by someone else for me around 11am ish. Then I have to take DS to school then I'm meeting a friend who wants to start running so I'm doing the couch to 5k with him. By the time I get back it'll probably be time to pick kids up from school and then we'll be thinking about tea. So boring lunch but made by someone else so can't complain :)

    That holiday sounds good. Go for it. I would if I could x

    Morning your Overlordness!;)

    Morning Ladies!:D

    Have brought packed lunch & snacky bits from home today - seed bar, pink grapefruit, seaweed thins, dried cherries, clementine with soup and crackers for lunch!

    Had a sneaky peak at the menu today...Mushroom rarebit en croute with rocket, spinach and walnut salad...

    Resistance is futile?!?:o:o:o

    I'M JEALOUS OF ALL YOUR LOVELY LUNCHES!

    Mine's the same as yesterday, pretty much. :o It'll be the same again tomorrow, too, pretty much. RT you should probably eat the mushrooms on my behalf. If I was closer by I'd come and eat them for you. :D

    DEEPLY excited about you having Raclette Stripes - there will be some proper tartiflette on your menu coming up then? I think I may have to do a cheaty version of that onto our meal plan for next week actually - I have tatties to use and a surfeit of cheese to use still...

    Hurrah to flights/holiday! :j (we need that skiing smiley from the other place!) :rotfl:

    Same lunch again for me, although I added a little ham to the wrap. Those pots of hummus, or however you spell it, are neverending :rotfl:
  • Ha - mine's better today! Leftovers from last night, so I've got bulgar wheat, beans, salad leaves, tomato, cucumber and bacon. Yum! Then the usual pile of fruit. :T

    Sounds good EH! I'm still on the hummus and veg wraps :D

    I've run out of salad though, and don't tend to eat it at the weekend so need to think of something else to bring to work tomorrow. I was due to be having lunch with a friend but forgot about a lunchtime meeting I've got booked :mad:
