    This weeks lunches for me were

    Monday - roast whole chicken with baked asparagus, although I didn't have a lunch break so I ate it when I got home.

    Tuesday - squid rings and king prawns (frozen from lidl), with humous and brocolli.

    Wednesday - soya bean salad, no dressings

    Thursday - chillied pollock and spinach

    Friday - chicken thighs and yesterdays left over meatballs with brussels and broad beans.

    I don't think I have ever purchased anything from a works canteen, far too risky when you have coeliacs disease, a nut allergy and you're lactose intolerant!

    Had a bagel with some fruit for lunch today.

    Gwylim, i bet that is a nightmare if you have to eat out. Have you found most restaurants to be helpful and offer lots of food that you can eat?

    Today will be 2 pitta breads. 1 will be stuffed with leftover patatas bravas, and the other will be stuffed with vegan 'ham' slices and salad :)

    Failed miserably today....have been at home all weekend with the mother of all colds, so haven't cooked or shopped, therefore nothing viable to take to work. Have purchased a salad and some ham (shock horror) and it wasn't even that nice....probably because I can't taste anything properly!

    Morning all

    I'm up to 8 now. Lunch was paid for all weekend when I was away in the south of Ireland. I only got back last night so the cupboards are empty but I'm sure there is a tin of beans hiding somewhere.
