............. so does that mean everyone is deserting their lunch log agendas? I'm feeling flush post-santa robbery............... but that doesn't mean I'll throw caution to the wind and allow my spending to rise to the hedonistic heights of £4.20 per day OH NO!
Monday - £0.45 - bagels & cheese from home and a crunchie (45p)

I took noodles in for lunch today, so a no spender for me!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
Well I started my week back at work as I meant to go on...... I took my lunch
I did buy tea and toast this morning, but it was yummy, I was starving, and I am allowing myself to buy breakfast, as two toast and tea is only 57p.... and £3 per week is WAY better than the £25 I was spending!
Monday: Egg sandwiches (last minute decision as the eggs went out of date two days ago!), 2 x petit filous, 1 x Walkers crisps (will be buying own brand from now on!) and one Pepsi Max.... all from home :T . Got a Chili con Carne on the boil as I type.... with nough for me and OH tonight, and lunch tomorrow :cool:'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars' - Oscar Wilde0 -
