    Home made sandwich for lunch today so this takes me to day 7/15
    £47605.33 outstanding in C.C (£8000 Interest free till January 2025)
  • Homemade meatballs, pasta and tomato based sauce for lunch today. Finding this far easier knowing I have tasty leftovers for lunch, stops me buying something else...
  • I take lunch to work every day; I've got bored of sandwiches and left-overs from the night before, so I've started doing myself a salad with as much variety in fruit and veg (that I like) as possible.
