Monday: Egg sandwiches (last minute decision as the eggs went out of date two days ago!), 2 x petit filous, 1 x Walkers crisps (will be buying own brand from now on!)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:
Tuesday: Left over chili from last night, packet of crisps, apple and banana all from home, and spent 70p on two coffees :T'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars' - Oscar Wilde0 -
£0 again today but am treating my daughter to lunch on Thursday as she's bringing my 3 week old Grandson over to see me in my lunch break. Do I have to count that? It's not going to be a spur of the moment thing because I couldn't be bothered to make anything. I can't let her drive over to see me and not buy her lunch (and they won't let me eat sandwiches there and there's nowhere else close enough to meet).
Have I pleaded my case enough?:rolleyes:

Congratulations Cassie!!! Wonderful news. I think a little indulgence can be forgiven considering the circumstances
Anyway, this week am on track to have no spends apart from Thursday when going on for one of the girls at work's leaving lunch. Thankfully we have a great pub near us that do a carvery for £3.50!! How cool is that! So this month I'm on track to have spent £15 in total on lunches, including three lunches out which is out of the ordinary for me in a month. Based on £3 a day (and usually I spend more than three pound, more like £4 but wanted to be conservative about it) that's a saving of £54 in a month! That's going on my Olympic Challenge total!
Monday 28th - £0
Tuesday 29th - £0
Wednesday 30th - £0 (Am stopping in all day! It's my Sunday tomorrow!)
Thursday 31st - £3.50

Congrats Cassie!! Lovely news
(although it doesn't make me broody anymore - been there and done it 3 times and definately won't be doing it again
Well, hanging my head in shame here and I've got no excuses for today either, things have gone completely up the swanny this week.
So, can I scrap my totals and start afresh next week? Pretty Please??

Thanks all. Not planned and was a shock but will be fine, I'm sure!
Due September so a lot of time for saving yet!
And yes, no excuse for being naughty at lunch, but still in budget overall this month (budgeted alcohol consumption has saved me a fair bit!!) so I don't feel too bad!
Just about to update my signature after yesterdays splurge... :mad:Lightbulb moment Oct 2007
