    Had left over frittata today for lunch, apple and boiled egg for a snack and cereal bars for breakfast. Took two jars of coffee into work and filled my flask before leaving my house in the morning.

    #5 3/16 picky lunch again today. Everyone was intrigued by my candy floss grapes so they all had a taste. Verdict: very sweet & slightly odd :)

    Pasta salad, strawberries & cashews tomorrow. With added fruit and a granola bar cos I'm always hungry!
    Cos I don't shine if you don't shine.
  • Morning,

    I'm on 3/15 now.

    Hope everyone is ok today? X

    Not at work today so can't count, but went out with DS and packed us a snack. Sister insisted on buying me a coffee which I couldn't refuse!

    Not the healthiest lunch, I had two packets of crisps :o

    I was going to have baba ganoush but got engrossed in something and burned the aubergines!

    Sorry for the lack of check in yesterday - I had a bit of a naughty day. clearing out my purse I found that I had two loyalty cards for the canteen at work with enough stamps between them to add up to a free meal. I made the choice to use them up and didn't take my dinner in - I can't feel too guilty as it was free! I have recovered though today and have got leftovers from last night's bacon pasta bake and home made cookies.

    Nellie that sounds like a brilliant is of loyalty stamps, I've got a full McDonald's coffee card somewhere for emergencies.

    #6 3/12 it's not the end of my work day yet but I have no money on me, eaten my lunch and filled up my coffee flask so I'm confident to count today. I prepped a couple of meals yesterday in the slow cooker so brought that.
