  • Another 3 LTWs for me this week so not doing too badly... And another one of my smelly soups for lunch today :)
  • Hi all, I made it through my first week of LTW!
    It was very cheap/easy/boring cheese buttie, crisps, flapjack (home made and not the best tbh) however it's a long time since I made such an effort so I'm very pleased with myself.
    Next week will be butties as a fallback, going to try and cook some little dishes like ruce or oasta

    Morning All :)

    Whats for lunch today? I am going to be making pancakes for the boys and sushi for me.

    Well done GoingToDoIt for making it through the week :)
  • Hi everyone,


    I managed another 4 days last week, so I'm pleased to report 14/18 so far and lunch ready for tomorrow ...im having tomato and basil soup with a bread roll, and fruit for snacks. The rest of the week will be sandwiches or jacket potatoes. I have to say I eat a better variety when I take my own lunch than when I buy something

    Well done Mrs M :)

    It's blimmin' freezing outside today, so i think i might have some porridge and fruit for my lunch.

    I need to start writing a shopping list, as my sticks are getting low and i am running out of ideas for lunches!

    Have a lovely Monday everyone!
  • I'm back from holiday and after having lunch at home Monday, I took lunch to work Tuesday and today... I've just made my sandwich for tomorrow's lunch too... Ham salad on white :)

    That takes me to 12/12 up to today with #13 due tomorrow as long as I remember to take it with me (a common problem in the past!)

    Hope everyone is saving £'s and lb's this month!

  • Still plodding on with LTW. Did not take LTW today as we had an all day team meeting and our lovely secretary arranged butties from a local cafe for £3 each. Hadn't the heart to say no. Will be back on the wagon tomorrow though. Home made bolognaise chilling in the fridge ready.
    Hope everyone has a good day x
  • I've managed 3 days this week so far so currently 17/18.....So only got to manage tomorrow or Monday and I've done it and more importantly I've saved a small fortune and enjoyed the variety of lunches....
