A bit of a late starter but I'd like to join this challenge. Not only do I let money flow from purse like water at lunch time, I tend to go for the not so healthy options too. So I see this as a double incentitive to get back on track with my spending and my healthy habits :jJuly £5 a Day challenge - £66.01/£1550

I'm going to spend some time at the weekend googling lunch ideas and will have a varied and interesting lunch everyday next week, preferably leftovers which will cost nothing.
