    Sounds lush to me Platinum!!


    ham cheese sandwich done in toastie maker and a bag of plain crisps today....... 2 cereal bars, one am one pm, and cans of juice from home. No spend day... no fruit or veg though, so not exactly healthy either!

    If i go for petrol in the afternoon so might buy myself some grapes or something....

    The thing about eating at my desk is that it makes it such a long day in the office so i have to get out, even if it is only for petrol!!

    Morning all! Happy lunchtime!

    I've got a small salad made with celery, baby toms, beetroot and lettuce, a Muller Light and a low fat cuppasoup.... BUT i'll probably be having a donut later at work (someone's been here 20 years today, fools!) - No lunchtime spends! x

    I haven't brought anything with me today.. made egg may sandwiches for the household but there just wasn't enough left over for me... honest! Plus i didn't really fancy Egg Mayo...

    Will venture out today but need shopping so will get something for lunch and attribute it to my grocery shopping budget, sneaky huh?!?!

    I'm thinking a tin of soup and some seeded batch... hmmmm!
