    Thanks WantToBeSE.

    Tonight I've got chicken and pea risotto for dinner and there's enough to take for lunch tomorrow so that will be 10 days for me.

    I think you asked earlier in the thread what we're doing with the money, if anything. I've been putting £2 in to savings for each lunch I take in.
