Lunch Log Challenge 2008

............... to logging lunches? Well, for me it's £4 on sandwiches which, if I'm honest, do not deserve even a quarter of that price.
For three months I religiously came here every evening (or daytime if the boss wasn't watching:D ) to piously (or shamefaced) log what I had for lunch that day. I didn't worry that it might be seen as fattening, gluttenous or even that it showed my lack of class. The objective was to not spend money.
I'm now slipping back into old ways. Thankfully I haven't actually been buying the lunches but I have been eating them. DS was sick Thursday so I didn't bother making any lunches and yesterday and todasaw me scoff my way through office bought sandwiches, gorgeous brown bread and smoked salmon
Monday £0 - bagels with ham, water, crisps
Tuesday £0 - leftover thai chicken and rice
Wednesday £1 - bagels with yuck* on them, diet bru, crisps
Thursday £0 - smoked salmon & brown bread
Friday £0 - Office bought M&S sandwiches
I hope I can get back in the groove soon before it's too late and I'm back to my c£90 per month habitGrocery Challenge M: £450/£425.08 A: £400/£:eek:.May -£400/£361 June £380/£230 (pages 18 & 27 explain)0 -

Ah, got stinking cold, DS on school hols and I can't be bothered making my lunches. I dread to think what I've spent this week (but I will soon), suffice to say I had a twenty quid note in my purse on Monday and I don't have it now! I'll log back with the grim details soon.
I feel we're all slipping away now. What can we do?Grocery Challenge M: £450/£425.08 A: £400/£:eek:.May -£400/£361 June £380/£230 (pages 18 & 27 explain)0 -
