    Hi All,

    I think I need to give this one a try - I am terrible for buying stuff in town for my lunch so spending sort of £3.50 a day.

    So I am going to say maximum 1 bought lunch per week between now and end of May so that's 4 bought lunches.

    Oooof! I fell off the wagon in March and April, but need to get back on track now :o

    I'm going to start again with just two bought lunches per week, so please add me as 8 bought lunches in May please. Thank you!

    All lunches from home for me as well please - any bought lunches will be when someone else pays for them, like boss-man (brother) or colleagues, who owe me from all the years of me buying them lunches hehe ;)

    Azkaban - love your name, Im not sure if 420 means the same thing in the UK as it does in the US but I like the thought of dementors unwinding at the end of a long day stealing souls :)

    Sign me up! No buying lunches at all in may - I'm preparing for this right now, there is a tuna pasta bake in the oven as we speak which will sort me out for a few days! I'm trying to clear the cupboards of all the jars and tins we never use

    Excellent Bramble - Think I need to do the same - as when I take my own lunch I still end up buying my lunch say tin of beans and sausage but at least it's cheaper than buying a sandwich from M*rks or local butty shop.

    And, if I remember to buy the tins from the supermarket when on offer that will save me even more money than buying at the corner shop in a morning because I am on the last minute (as always!!zzzzzzzz!)

    Enjoy the pasta bake.:)
