To be fair I nearly never don't.
At work we have our own small canteen for five people. We have a toaster, toasty maker, George Forman, spare kettle just for boiled eggs and a micro- wave and of course a fridge..
I take everything in, fresh fish, steak, left overs form the night before. Tonight I had a defrosted veg curry as the wife always makes extra. I always have a look at whats near the end dates and take that in.0 -

Another home-made ham salad wrap with cereal bars, crisps and 2 apricots for dinner (and/or munchies) today. I did have left over pasta bake from Thursday night's tea which was earmarked for today, but my lovely OH ate it on Friday! I can't complain too much because he obviously likes my cooking.Little One born 19/12/18
