    Hello all! I’m also feeling very up for this challenge this week! Almost didn’t bring anything in today as didn’t get chance to go shopping at the weekend but forced myself to forage in the cupboards last night and came up with tuna, tomato, onion and sweetcorn pasta, which was lovely. I always look forward to lunch ore when it’s something I’ve made myself so I’m glad I did it. Going shopping tonight for some veggies after last week’s soup was so scrummy. Do I get bonus points for doing salsa aerobics in my lunch hour instead of going in the sales?!

    Bon Appetit everyone!!

  • Can i join in too please,
    I'm not working at the moment (bump due to drop in 11 weeks) but i am really bad at going for breakfast in the morning with the other mums from school, before christmas it was getting to 4/5 days a week. Plus toddler was wanting to eat too, it was easily costing me £5 a day.
    I am adament i am going to stop doing it, i always have breakfast things in the house for the elder children so there is no need for me to eat out i'm just being lazy.
    Hopefully joining you lot will stop me from giving in and i will be able to save the pennies for little pink bump.
