    As of today it'll be 6/19, every work day of November so far!

    This is unusual for me, I'm generally quite bad at remembering to make lunches, so quite proud of myself. Even got my OH in on the act! Our new pre-bedtime routine includes making our lunches together.

    Today it's a chorizo and philly bagel for me, and a sweet chilli chicken wrap for him.

    Every day this week!! The only thing that shifted me off the couch to make a sandwich last night was the thought of being able to say this today, lol. So I'm now at 7/19 :D:D:D

    Afternoon everyone :-)

    Well I've been terrible last week! First 2 days I made my own lunch, Wednesday I had to run an errand at lunch time and ended up not having time for anything. Thursday AND Friday I bought a sandwich from Morrisons, £2.25 each time :eek:

    So this week, I've made a 'chuna' and onion sandwich filling which will last 3 days, then I'll do a pot noodle on Thursday and toast on Friday. No deviations this week!

    I make that 4/7 so far, or 5/8 including today :-)

    Apologies for hijacking this thread but I only ever take WW soup to work for me and 10 cal jellies. I only buy them when on offer though (like 6 for £4 on the WW soups). Lunch is a necessity and means to an end.

    I failed, got back from my long weekend extra late so didn't prep anything last night, I picked up a ready meal from Lidl for £1.65.

    Will be better tomorrow!

    Bit late, but count me in. I average 3 days a week and always take a cheddar sandwich or pick up a £1 subway breakfast roll on the way in. Subway breakfast rolls are usually £1.50 but I get 50p vouchers on the back of the (free) bus ticket. Must take juice as well. I've clocked up 4/12 already.
