  • of my spendaholic-ness? Hope so!

    Debt free me only the OP can give you a number but she's not been around for a bit. Hopefully she'll come by soon.

    Redsquirrel80 your lunch sounded fab. I need to inject some variety soon.

    Jo1972 all I can say is welcome to my last week. Maddening isn't it? All this time paying attention and saving a bomb and then the ball's on the slates in one day!! Did OS thread not inspire you then?

    Maz3374 You should be forgiven your fish & chip discretion really but I can't believe you put yourself in harms way re the pensioner bit :D . I'd be scared they thought I WAS a pensioner (not quite there yet)

    bobbadog I can't believe that's all you had for your lunch. I'd have soup and yoghurt while I waited for my lunch :o . Why is it again that I'm surprised by my girth?

    Gosh, get me, chatting to everyone. Here's my lunch today

    Monday £0 - bagels with ham & coleslaw and hula hoops. No can so had water to save a bob

    Ermmmm.....:whistle:........no :undecided

    Well, that's actually a lie, I got lots of ideas and lots of good intention but when my alarm goes off in the morning the thought of making lunch and still fancying it when lunchtime comes round is not a good one.

    Your lunch sounded yummy :D

  • i find taking stuff to make up at work sometimes works better than making in advance, still requires some planning though....

    that's on the days i don't have fish n chips, of course!!

    Ta1 Variety is definitely a good idea, I found I was spending because I was bored with what I'd brought in. Tomorrow I've got a bit of leftover moussaka from tonight with some bread, then I think tomorrow night I'll be using some stock and odds and ends of veg to make soup for the next couple of days.

    I like your signature, just off to work out what my average is, think I started this on 2nd Jan.... hmmm 85p a day...

    haha! I'm not small! The soup had pasta bits in it (some new Heinz chili tomato thing) and I finished work at 3:30 for a docs appointment, so stuffed my face earlier than usual at home ;) x

    Oooh - my boss just brought me a can of diet coke (as I brought him one last week) so technically up 60p? ;)

  • Am getting worried about myself. The things I do in the name of saving money. Someone bought a magazine, read it in the lunch room, then binned it. It's one of those gossip £1.50 jobs so I decided I'd get a free read and went to fish it out of the bin. It had teabags on it so I merely ripped the first three pages (soggy teabags) and went about my business. Shameful!

    Monday £0 - bagels with ham & coleslaw and hula hoops. No can so had water to save a bob
    Tuesday - 95p - cheese rolls with ham & coleslaw, can Irn Bru (95p), hula hoops
