    Failed today - I bought coffee! It’s been one month since I’ve had a shop coffee, it was payday and it was my first day at uni. I brought my packed lunch with me and my flask but there just wasn’t enough in my flask to sustain me, I’ll have to take a bigger flask!!!

    I trust you got a student discount?

    Sorry I am only updating - this an awful week at work and been getting home really late :( Managed to take my own lunch to work though and one of the days I knew would be a late one so I took my dinner too! Everyone else had takeaway but I abstained :)

    Well done friitLoop! Glass I don’t even have my student ID yet, it’s pants. Mature students are completely uncatered for!

    I miss counted the number of days I would work this month, but I’m very pleased I only bought 1 cup of coffee all month and no food! Can’t wait for next months challenge, I need so creative ideas for my lunch box (must be able to eat cold, sit in my bag for a few hours before eating and SlimmingWorld friendly!)
