    It's 8.48am and I'm waivering :undecided


    At the risk of appearing to stalk you, jo :o ......

    Just a thought (and might save you time in the mornning). What I have done in the past is take the constituent parts of my lunch with me (roll, cheese tomato etc), to make up at work at lunchtime

    Less of a temptation if it isn't ready-to-eat :)

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D

    I don't mind you stalking me lurky :D

    Thing is, if I did that then my boss would not be happy with me putting my lunch together at 8.48am :eek:

    Well done to all of us for a good day (yes, even you Platinum Horse with your £1.90 mercy-spend). I'd have given you an extra quid for all that travel delay :D

    Thanks Fletch! I might take up that extra pound, and let it roll over to another day, to spend guilt free!

    Today it's Soup & Bread - which is a good combination to avoid eating it early, as I'd have to go to the effort of opening the tin, pouring into a bowl, heating in the microwave for 2 mins....i'm tired just thinking about it :rotfl:

    Actually I have an apple, banana and a lemon slice as my snacks. Oh and chocolate biscuits are there in the tea club....I must not listen to them constantly calling my name to be eaten "Eat me.....eat me.....you know you want to! Eat us lovelly chocolate biscuits....we're yummy" NO! I can't hear you! 'La la la!':D :p

    No spend today (well, I hope not anyway) have some leftover home made chicken balti (nice and stinky) which I froze last week, and an orange. Still drinking the summer fruit squash I purchased two weeks ago.

    Something must be happening to my mindset, as this morning I couldn't find much for lunch (no bread, no salad) and whilst OH said I should treat msyelf to lunch, I rummaged in the freezer until I found this curry - though I think if i hadn't I may have just had some noodles and frozen veg or something - I don't want to spend money on lunches - I want to spend it on fine wine instead ;) x
