    Today will be day #18.

    Tomorrow is going to throw a spanner in the works though, as I'm meeting an ex-colleague for lunch. I haven't seen him in 5 months though and we are long overdue a good catch-up. I'll just have to try find somewhere cheap to eat. :)

    Hello! If you don't mind I'd like to join you all if you decide to carry on through to March - I'm pretty good at bringing lunch to work every day anyway, but it's always nice to have some support and some inspiration :)

  • Hello :) I really need to get involved with this; I try to bring my own lunch but it doesn't always go to plan!

    I'll lurk for the rest of Feb and then set a proper goal for March...

    Starting as I mean to go on though; today I've brought leftover pasta with peppers, onions and chicken breast. Snacks are crisps, grapes, and cocktails sausages (I am pregnant so I eat LOADS at the minute! :D).
  • Please can I join this challenge too?

    Welcome mashedavocado and the Only Girl.:hello:
    mashedavocado when are you due ? It's a nice reason to be eating LOADS isn't it :):) Sometimes the strange cravings can be a bit weird though. Hope you are keeping well :)
    My carrot and sweet potato soup turned into falafel wraps with salad I know it's magic don't you know. :D Had to go to the SM and by the time I got back it was too late to start the soup but I am making it to stick in the freezer for another day.:)
