    So, this is really embarrassing... but I've only just realised this thread existed. :o I've been part of the LTW threads for the previous months, but wasn't aware that a May one was started for some reason!! Silly me.

    Well, I have been counting at least- on number 9 and a target of 15.

    Now I shall go and hide in a hole...

    Aw,it can happen to anyone... :)

    Got a bit behind with this, and been a bit lazy. Since my last posting I've bought sandwiches at work on 2 days and had a day off sick. Back toit yesterday and today, so days 4 and 5/14 have been Quinoa, butternut and feta salad, and today was a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich....very lush....the salmon has been languishing in the freezer for a while so I thought it was time to use it up :o)
