Day 9 done, I’ve got a hard boiled egg and salad cream sandwich made up ready for tomorrow, really enjoying this challenge, can’t believe how much money I’ve wasted buying lunch at work in the past but not any more.Worrying won't stop bad stuff from happening, it just stops you from enjoying the good.0

10 out of 12 for me!
Tuesday I took the day off, Wednesday I had to buy lunch. I had a meeting all morning out of the office, too hot here to leave lunch in the car (35 degrees in Melbourne, Aus on Wednesday). I only spent $4 opposed to the $14 that I would have spent last year.
Today I took a curry from the freezer, apple and banana.
Stillnot purchased coffee or breakfast out, but need to figure out what to do when I have no where to store my lunchFormally liuhut

I've got that horrible flu type thing that's doing the rounds, this is my second day working from home...got to go back tomorrow.
Hope you feel better soon xx0 -
I'm in: I have 12 days in the office in January. - leftover roast chicken breast on granary bread for me so far, alternating with vintage cheddar. Include a piece of fruit: banana, grapes and I'm done. I'm encouraging a colleague to bring fruit at (least) to work, but its uphill and I feel a bit mean eating my sandwich at desk as we work through lunch.
Hi and welcome,
I've added you to the list on the first page.
Good luck x0 -
Day 12 - more leftover sausage and kale pasta bake. It was a Simply Cook recipe I got on their £1 trial and it's so tasty - very impressed!0
