    Please can i join for the first time? I'm trying to reduce the money wasted due to lack of planning or laziness. Would rather spend my money on some new and needed clothes than overpriced sandwiches.

    Going to set a realistic target of 15, also including breakfast as i regularly eat it at work too

    Hi!

    I'd like to join in please - it will tie in nicely with my no-shopping challenge! I'm going to try and go for the whole hog with a few extra. I will be back in work on the 2nd and thereafter have a long day on a Thursday when I have to bring a packed lunch and a packed dinner, so total number of packed meals I'm aiming for is 27!

    Thanks as always to pmo2!

    First day back at work tomorrow and lunch prepped ready to go. I usually go for a walk at lunch and surrounded by food places so going to leave my money in the office to avoid temptation.

    I do need to buy milk for work but I'm not counting that as i can claim the money back from the kitty.

    Good luck everyone!
