    That is what I think that I am spending it faster than I can earn it.

    You know what I mean finding 5 different things for each day is a tough job. Things that are not too heavy to carry and all that.

    carrying your food to work aint heavy! I manage it and im a weak girlie!
    And its not a tough job, millions of people do it every day!

    You can do the same kind of thing with say a curry, chilli, stew, whatever your mum has cooked the previous night.

    Why do you need 5 things for lunch?

    Haven't you got a backpack to carry stuff in?
  • On a previous post you said your weight was 17 stones. Why not skip lunch? Another plus - you won't need to carry it.....and you can buy new clothes with the £100+ per month that you save....

    How much do you think is too much to spend daily on odds and ends like choccie bars and lunch?

    I spend about 5 pound a day (25 quid a week) when I work 12 hour days on a lunch and some chocolate. I feel it might be too much to spend but there again in 12 hours you do need a good meal with a pudding, so maybe its not.
    Hi Phil,

    It's great to see you have now moved on to trolling the rest of the boards on here with your pointless discussions that no doubt you will ignore all advice offered and soon start telling us what a hard life you have.

    Ask Mummy to make you a nice packed lunch. Since when did your part time job at the library involve 12 hour days?

    :D

    See The Demotivator at the top of the page in the step by step guides. Type in how much you spend on chocolate and then decide if that is too much. Frightened the life out of me.

    I much rather save my precious money 9each to your own I suppose) on more practical things and make my own lunch, drinks etc. Much better than wasting £5 on sandwiches, over priced crisps, chocolate. If you going to eat that and I dont knock people for having a bit luxury is buy it in multipacks and take it with you. I save hundreds over the years on this, and kids take there own lunch to school.

    When you have fallen on hard times it teaches you to be careful with your money
