    Hope you all had lovely lunches all. I'm very pleased with myself having had a NSW. A very boring NSW since I had the same thing for lunch everyday, but a NSW nevertheless. Will have to plan more variety for next week.

    Hi everyone

    Yep, I've not been on for a few days, what's going on with ME?

    Anyway, I have a decent account of myself this week so am feeling good. It's lovely to see so many of us have had a good week too, pats on the back all round.:T

    laura2481 you're very welcome. £5 a week you say? We'll have that whittled down to 5p soon :D

    My 24 cans of Irn Bru lasted 11 working days (2 left) so I'll need to break the bank next week at Farmfoods. Right, here goes then:
    Monday - £0 - Sandwiches with leftover roast chicken, Irn Bru, Snack a Jacks
    Tuesday - £0 - sandwiches with cheese & tomato, Irn Bru (fiver for 24 @ Farmfoods Maz, total bargain. You can't beat an Irn Bru burp :o
    Wednesday - 80p - rubbish sandwiches so I ALSO had a bagel with butter (hormones eek)
    Thursday - £0 - cheese & Ham rolls, Snack a Jacks, Irn Bru
    Friday - £0 - sandwiches with chicken, caramel wafer, irn bru

    Gonna go out tomorrow and find some interesting stuff for lunch for next week. Apart from the normal sarnies I did manage a left-over lunch of spag bol which made a nice change. Gotta meal plan to take into account of mine and ds's lunch.

    Well done everybody :D

    It's took a while for some of us (me mostly :undecided) to get going on this challenge, but it has certainly opened my eyes up to where my money goes :eek:

  • Hello everyone

    Can I join please? Like a lot I spend too much at lunchtimes and it adds up over a month. I have budgeted £50 a month to include all treats such as chocolate and crips snacks and general me things. My aim is £30 and hopefully even lower.

    Ive just checked my spending diary and have spent £53.20 :eek: since the 25/2. This does include a rare night out for £30 so true total £23.20 leaving £6.80 for the week. I cant believe how its added up so quick.
