    I'm on 3/20 with leftover chicken taco filling with a salad and a satsuma. Somebody has brought in a big pack of mini rolls for everyone so I might cheat and have one of those in a bit.
  • Inn my packed lunch box today is Salad, Quiche, New tatties, and two clubs. Some Bourneville also made it. Proper Food and good for you!
  • I had one of those lunches where I really didn't want it but had it anyway and I actually enjoyed it.

    I had Heinz chicken soup and a colleague provided doughnuts from Greggs :) I have some crisps for later too.

    So I'm now up to 3/17 :j
