July 'Take Your Lunch To Work' Challenge.

Watch out for this....
Went to Tesco's ... Large chicken £3.50 per kg, extra large chicken £3.00 per kg. Bought an extra large chicken that was 2.25kg and I paid less for it than if I bought a large 2kg chicken!!!
Husband and I have had 3 dinners each and 2 lunches each from it - which along with the yellow stickered rolls (40p for 8) makes lunch economical.

Hi
For lunch today I made:
Mushroom couscous, chopped up spring onion, tomato and chicken with a little sausage, chestnut and sage stuffing ( leftovers from yesterday) and mixed it all together. I've got the same tomorrow.
Also had a yoghurt and a banana. Yum, yum!!!

Mmmm... Not to sure about cous cous I think it's the texture but your dinners do sound nice.. Might give that a go. It's a long time since I tried it.

Had a salmon and cucumber sandwich today which was lovely and toast for breakfast, 10g of peanut butter, a carrot and a cracker bread for a snack.

I am out for lunch with my mum tomorrow.. Really looking forward it too.!!!

Hope you are all OK?

Two free lunches - yum! Yum!

Back to making my own lunches again after the two free lunches that I got last week- Have made 2 x small ham and salad rolls for tomorrow.

Ham, cucumber and mayo crusty roll for lunch today. Was going to have salad and a scotch egg tomorrow but not sure how much salad we'll have left after dinner tonight so might have to rethink that one.

Wow gem gem that sounds like an amazing lunch... We painlessly got free food where I worked years ago but it was curly sandwiches and limp celery! Nothing on your scale.

I have done ok this week of Monday, cheese and tomato sarnies Tues, tuna weds and cheese salad today. Bonus was free came on weds and pizza on weds for birthdays. Bonus too is being told our building is Temporarily unsafe and we have to work from home... Really? In this weather.. OK if you insist!!!!! Woohoooooo

How is everyone else doing?

Talking of WFH, I was in the home office yesterday (so much to do it just made more sense to stay home and try to get through it) took a walk up the shop at lunchtime for a french stick and had french bread pizza with some hm pasta sauce in the fridge and mozarella.

Today was some more of the stick with Boursin, some cucumber and a pear. All spaced over about 2hrs as I didn't really get time for a proper lunch break.

curly sarnies...mmmmmm...not

It was lovely weather to be off. I felt a bit sad to be back in the office today... I took toast and jam for breakfast (it's nice cold) and had runs and red pepper sandwiches for lunch. Was really busy today so I treated myself to a pack of prawn cocktail crisps ��.

I am taking pasta left offers tomorrow such will make a change!

Oh I know those buffets were bad. The only good thing about them were the cheese straws which were divine. Once the call for left overs was out it there used to be a stampede down the office to retreive the cheese straws much to the amusement or sometimes horror of any visitors!! Happy days and all that!!!
