Bought lunch today as it was my first day back in the office, but yesterday made some pasta for myself at home.

I bought crossaints at shop today for my son and I's breakfast as we were up early taking him to the doctor's and bought my son a sausage roll to take home for his lunch but I managed to resist and had my homemade soup for lunch that I had at home.

Day 14 for me and day 7 for dh. Usually I bring slices of bread, I keep butter, marmalade and cheese in the office fridge. Dh now regularly makes sandwiches with some fancy spread (salmon at the moment, I believe). Today, however, I have a jacket potato :T

Goooooood Afternoon, people!!

It's FRIDAY!! Yay! I am not working until Wednesday now, so am feeling very happy.

Todays LTW was 2 pitta breads and a banana. I really need to go food shopping this evening, so that i have some food!

Morning All

Food shopping has been done, so i have plenty of food for my LTWs. The children are away for a few days (1 on a school trip and 1 with their Dad) so i am going to have a few days of just relaxing and baking lots of stuff to put in the freezer for future LTWs and dinners

WantToBeSE - Sounds like a good plan. I am going to have a similar day of cooking/baking but with the kids around so probably won't be quite as relaxing as your day :undecided

So I had a disaster of a day on Friday in terms of not spending on food. I wasn't feeling well on Thursday night which left me feeling very tired on Friday so ended up not being prepared and therefore bought my breakfast on the way to work, went to the bakers for lunch and then bought fish and chips for the kids and I for tea :eek: It's safe to say that I can't claim a LTW day for Friday which means I won't make my 30 days target. I am not beating myself up though, I would normally have bought lunch on most of the other days this month so I can forgive myself one blow out day. Now to be good the rest of the month...

I was at my son's school Fayre yesterday (gorgeous weather which seems to have gone today) and did end up having a burger, cupcake and juice when there but paid for by my husband from his personal spends so I am still claiming a day for yesterday as I am only counting days I pay out for.

I have just cancelled a fruit and veg box delivery I usually get every week as I was often chucking things away so wasting food and money. However, I am trying to use up what I have left from last weeks box and the odd bit from the previous weeks box. So I have a spaghetti Squash which I have never tried before, the delivery always includes a recipe and this week had one for 'Italian Squash Baked Spaghetti Squash so I am going to give that a go for lunch today. If it goes well I'll post the recipe. Also planning to make a pot of soup and carrot cake today for lunches during the week. I need to see what other veg I have got left and plan what I am going to do with it.

Enjoy what's left of your weekend

I *think* I'm up to LTW number 14... BBQ pulled pork & some spring onions in a pitta for the past two days.

Had soup for the last 3 days, so I'm up to 9/15.

Can't reach my target now, but I'm going to push ahead anyway and stick to it for the rest of the month.

Better luck next month!
