Great to have you on board FlacosFloozie.
My grocery shop will be delivered this afternoon and I've added little bits and pieces that I can take away with me to work so I have no plans on spending on any lunches while I'm away this week.2 -
Just made some beef sandwiches for myself and DH to take to work tomorrow. I'll be more adventurous when I have a couple of weeks working within travelling distance from home .Total debt when my journey began in December 2022- £66,133.42

I'm trying to lose some lbs so I'm taking a lunch with me but really need to get a bit more adventurous than ham rolls.The problem is with my job is I'm out all day long and there is a lot of easy temptation out there; supermarkets, fast food places, pubs etc. Sometimes it can be difficult to ignore the little vioce in your head!Nothing to see here, move along.3

Took a flask of decaf to work and a wee bottle of milk. Plenty of milk left so I’ve left it at work for tomorrow. Dayshift tomorrow so it’s gammon salad sandwiches for lunch.I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged2

Can you believe it!!!I made my sandwiches last night and left them in the fridge. When I leave home the beginning of the week, I'm trying to remember everything so I need to make myself a check list foe next time.
On the bright side I did remember bags of crisps, noodle pots etc for the rest of the week.
I forgot my PJ's too!!!Total debt when my journey began in December 2022- £66,133.42

Train strikes this week mean no office days for me, but more time to plan what I’ll take with me when I do go in next!2
