Took pasta to work on Mon and had a cheese roll on the Tue, that's me achieved 10 out of the 13 days so far. Met an old colleague for a pub lunch on Wed, good food and I managed to get two courses and a drink for £10

Love this thread! I work in a school & on holidays at the moment but I usually take in lunch. It is good to try & stay out of the local Co-Op and their lovely meal deals.
I've got some great new lunch boxes from Ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162546206243 and a insulated lunch bag.Cos I don't shine if you don't shine.0 -
Had a disaster in that my couscous was, unsurprisingly, completely inedible by the 5th day of taking it in to work, so had to buy a sandwich from the canteen.
This week I am only in Wed-Fri and have prepped two portions of a dahl/soup type thing which is the tastiest thing I have ever made and will think of something else for Friday.Debt Free Stage 1 - Completed 27/08/2020
