  • Hi there,
    I have achieved 2/14 so far. I am trying flat bread at the moment and quite like it. Today and tomorrow I am on two courses and free lunches are provided. I mean training courses, not two course lunches. Although they might be two courses. We'll see.

    It's a bit of an odd week for me on account of not being at work so my resources are greater!

    Yesterday was half a pack of YS ham with an egg and HM chips.

    Today was a YS chicken breast with Greek salad made with homegrown cucumber and tomatoes, an onion and a quarter of a pack of feta cheese.

    I think both days probably cost about 75p (on account of the meat being discounted by 80%) so I'll call it a £4.50 saving for the two days.

    Tomorrow might not be quite so easy!
