    Added everyone to here.

    Good Afternoon :) What did you all have for your LTW today?

    I had pitta, salad, hummous, avocado and tortilla chips. It was very yummy!

    Does anyone meal plan for their lunches?

    Tomorrow i am going to make a butternut squash, sweet potato and parsnip soup. I'll sprinkle a handful of flaxseed, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds on top.

    I'll also make some bread first thing, so its ready for lunch time. I am working fro home for 3 days this week, and the other 2 days i will be home by lunch time.

    Please can I join March for 17 days? I have 18 days in the office this month, and I'm giving myself one day for a lunch treat. :)

    Today was day 1 with a hummus, lettuce & tomato sandwich, plus an avocado for starters.

    Count me in for the whole month. Last month i must have bought £3 lunch deals between 5-10 times. That's £15-30!!
    To start it off tomorrow I'm bringing left over veg stirfry, some homebaked flat as pancake but yummy bananabread, some nuts, hot tea and a bottle of water. I'm at uni all day so wont have access to drinks other then that but I think I've found some free water places on campus to top up and may chance bringing a herbal teabag and hopefully I can blag hot water. Will save £2.50 on my normal drink to treat myself, or up to £10 if I bought food there.

    Do people bring snacks to work? I find I get bored of my normal choices and need to think up some ideas.
