    Hi all
    I go through phases of bringing and not bringing my lunch in and I've just ended a phase of not bringing! I only work four days a week, and it's too late for the last few days - so count me in for 16 days please!

    I'm off for my weekly shop later today and this week is sarnie week. I'm aiming for: salmon mayo & cucumber, tuna mayo & cucumber, cheese & pickle and fakeon & lettuce.

    Wish me luck!

    Some bread,an apple and an iced lolly.Lots of water.
  • Slept all day so skipped breakfast and lunch (unintentionally) but woke up to find hubby's weird concoction of hard boiled eggs in a bowl of freshly opened tin of plum tomatoes and sauce. Not for me thanks. For dinner OH cooked chicken in soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice and black pepper. Off to bed again soon.

    I'll have a go at this too please!
    I'm a teacher with only 2 weeks left to go now. So that's 10 more days for me :-)

    1/10....today is a poached salmon sandwich with a little mayo. Plus some fruit.

    I bought a whole salmon on Saturday as they were on special at half price. I love salmon, but only buy when it's cheap. (sorry, I know that's a relative term, but I live on my own and can afford to treat myself now and again) What I usually do is buy a whole or a side of salmon when they are on special, or reduced (after a bank holiday or Easter or something is often a good time to find them) then I cut them up into portions and freeze. The one I got this weekend did cost £22, but I have 18 portions...just over £1.20 per portion.
