OMG, total disaster was averted today!

I got to work and found out that chicken roast was on the menu with choklit pudding n choklit sauce for afters :eek: I went completely weak and put my name down for one, stuck my money in the envelope and was just about to get my roll out and have it for brekkie when the Head Cook from the kitchen came in the office, someone told her I'd ordered and she said she's refusing to serve me as I have to stick to my no-spend lunches :eek: and she was serious!!! :eek: :eek:

She then whispered to me that she'd save me a pudding for no charge if I have my roll instead of the roast :beer: and it was bluddy luverly!!

NO MONEY SPENT THIS WEEK SO FAR*

*although Friday is chip day :undecided

I used to have a real weakness for bringing in my lunch and then wanting something else to go with it. I would go out on my lunch break every day religiously and buy things from tesco to go with my lunch and to stock up the cupboards at home (stuff I didn't really need). New Year new start and O have already saved at least £10 in petrol (maybe more) on petrol since being back at work as I have stayed in every day (a bit boring I know but if it means clearing my debt quicker then it's worth it). I've been really strict and made do with everything we have in the cupboards at home for my lunches and tea. I've started to make pasta, tuna, sweetcorn and mayo which is delicious! It makes you feel so motivated if you're not spending and I wish I had started this before.

Anyway back to the point this week I have spent £0 on lunches!!!!!! Yippee:j

A box of 5 or 6 of these were in the £1 shops at xmas so you could stock up for a very cheap snack.

Hi everyone, Veg soup again for me (there's enough for tomorrow as well) and today I've remembered to bring bread in from home, so a £0 lunch for me so far. Feeling a bit hormonal though and may have to get chocolate...

Wahey! I was looking for this thread at the start of the week, and couldn't find it.

Monday - £0.00 (ham/cheese sarnie (nicked a cheese slice off the lodger, tut tut) and crisps)
Tuesday - £0.00 (ham/cheese sarnie (used my own cheese) and crisps)
Wednesday - £0.00 (pate sarnie and crisps)
Thursday - £0.00 (pate sarnie and crisps) - I did spend £2.25 on my dinner though, baguette and a can as it's college night.
Friday - £0.00 (variation of sarnie and crisps - boring ain't I?)

I have spent a total of:-

£1.30 - chips for dinner
£0.78 - take a break mag
£2.25 - tonight's dinner

for the entire month so far, so well pleased with myself!
