    That's right,you do live and learn.Thank goodness. :)

    I'm sure a lot of us on here would say the same thing: how could I have been so silly?
    I know I do.

    The main thing is that we can change our ways. :money:

    Afternoon all :)

    My LTW is Basil Pesto and salad on HM bread, with a pint of watered down OJ. Will have some watermelon too, and maybe an apple.
  • Thank you for the welcome ladies :) i've just finished my pasta salad and about to scoff a couple of easy peelers. Did anyone else see the article in the paper this morning about the factory making sandwiches for the big name supermarkets? The pictures were grim! :eek:

    Have stuck to plan so far and taken lunch everyday except for the treat lunch I took a friend out for last week for her birthday. £22 for two, two courses thai and a soft drink each. Delicious and did I feel guilty? No, I did not. I have stopped wasting £20/£25 a week so the rare treat for a birthday feels very good.

  • LTW no. 8 was chicken sandwich in wholemeal bread and chili mayonnaise and the usual easy peelers and banana combo. For morning break I had a small fruit scone from aldee. But disappointed because the work's kettle broke and had no hot drink all day. I survived the day though without the "shakes." Tomorrow will be Turkey salami sandwich.

    You could clearly see on one handler that her hands were all chapped.People smearing a topping with their fingers :eek:
    Why all the gear:hair all covered up,overalls....when gloves aren't obligatory.
    Really disgusting.
