5/16 left over bolognese again!!! But this time I had prepaired the pasta in advance. Hoping to get the child seat back on my bike over the weekend and take youngest on his first bike ride - then I will start saving on petrol by cycling to work.Taking on the world one debt at a time!!!

Only managed two days this week, though to be fair my total spends have only totalled £2.27 across three days. I've taken food with me every single day, which is more than I usually do. On my three "failed" days all I bought was a drink and I did make the effort to actually bring lunch. *stops trying to justify it*:o
Hi CompletelyLost,
If you've actually brought your lunch to work, then I'd count it, if it were me. I know you said that you'd bought a drink, thats not a failure, everyone needs a drink0 -
Morning,
Everyone is hopefully up to date on the front page.
Some really yummy ideas this week, that I may borrow next week.
Let me know if I've missed anyone or if there's any errors.

In office for 4 days! Managed 2 pack-ups. Third day I gave a presentation to some people so there was a sarny lunch provided (Yay!) however, 4th day, however I had a pret sandwich. The shame! Problem was, there was uncertainty as to where I would be and I didn't want to haul lunch around!"Is it that the future is so uncertain, the present so traumatic that we find the past so secure?

Sorry I’ve not posted but I have been good!! Popping in with 5/18 days completed. Last Sunday I made a huge saucepan of spicy butternut squash soup which I took to work on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday I took ham rolls and fruit and on Friday I was on a course with lunch provided!0

I'm in. Would appreciate any veggie ideas
Hi - for the last 5 days I have had the same veggie lunch but really enjoyed it. £4.35 for whole week.
2 tubs humous
1 bag wholemeal pittas
1 cucumber
1 bag carrots
2 peppers
toasted pitta, humous and crudites.
Next week will be veggie soup and wholemeal roll each day.
I take breakfasts as well as I'm not an early morning eater - porridge, banana and OJ.
Hope that helps.Blitz that mortgage
