    I start my new job on 6th May, so will be right back into the in a couple of weeks - until then, I am at home trying to eat out of the cupboards, so no problems really as far as lunches go!

    Hi all, like most others I haven't logged my lunches, haven't been too bad but certainly not as good as I had hoped! Sigh. So, to start anew:
    Mon 21st April - £0 leftover beef stroganoff; fruit.

  • Like the look of this. Lunch in uni is always my biggest cost. This week so far....

    Monday 21st - £1.50 pizza slice, £2.05 smoothie
    Tuesday 22nd- can't remember... That's bad!!
    Weds 23rd - packed lunch - chickpea, yoghurt, spinach and lemon salad with cous cous
    Thurs 24th - same as above, but ate at home
    Fri 25th - will go home and have some pasta

    The chickpea recipe I found in a Book for Cooks book I was given for my birthday. Mix a tin of chickpeas with rind of 1 lemon, lemon juice and some plain yoghurt. I didn't have the herbs you needed so added some chopped spring onion, a green chili and tabasco and some spinach leaves. Actually really really nice and filling.

    I have had such a result! Got into work last week and my supervisor told me I no longer have to pay for school lunches, I'm on the free list. That would cost me £12.35 a week to pay out for. I'm so chuffed, mainly cos I don't have to get up and prepare a lunch every day! So it looks like I won't be lunch logging for a little while!
