    Day 16 today - Chicken and noodle soup with crackers
  • A bit late checking in, but 9/12 so far. I had a wobble today when a menu went around for an office lunch out next week, but at nearly £10 I decided to stay strong and bow out. It will be a frugal month in February so must stay with it!

    The lovely little market town that I work in has a Friday market, which includes a man who makes the most amazing paella. I allowed myself 2 days of 'non-home-prepared lunches' this month. So far I've had 1. I can make sure I have 5 pack up lunches next week...

    I'm having paella tomorrow :rotfl:

    Worrying won't stop bad stuff from happening, it just stops you from enjoying the good.

    Not updated all week and its been a bit mixed!
    Monday I had packed my lunch and then OH got called into work so he took it instead (easier for me to buy food than him). Tues I took leftover HM pizza. Weds and Thurs I purchased and then today I took HM beef rolls. I've not purchased breakfast but have had one coffee so far.
    I've learnt from this month that I need to have back ups 'just in case'.
    13 out of 18 so far for me.

  • Quick check in to say no coffees bought at work and all lunches brought in since my last check in on the 16th.

    Was a slow start, with a few coffees bought at the start of January, but getting there now. Also, just one takeaway bought this month, which is a massive improvement on past months.

    I've bought some sachet latte packets to bring into work this week for a treat. It's getting freezy and I think I'm going to need a pick me up!!

    How is everyone doing?

  • 10 pack ups so far. Four work days left and am hoping to take food for all of them. I allowed myself one day a week off and ive used that in 2 of the 3 weeks so not done too bad x
