An important question for the men on this forum

[stek]

If I take sandwiches I eat them by 10:00 and have to buy lunch anyway. In any case I can always pop in the greasy spoon on the way in.....

Alright, alright, I love Spam on toast, and and I'm not allowed it at home. I've been popping in every day for a quick one, and it just started from there, now I'm hiding Spam cans on the lightshades waiting for her to go out before scoffing the lot...

I can handle it, and the only side effects so far are heart disease and putting on 5 stone....

My wife make the sarnies as she is also doing the kids for school.

However I have left over pasta from last nights dinner. No doubt I will have left over shepherds pie one day this week.

You'll be saying that she doesn't make you a brew first thing in the morning before you get out of bed !

Lady Tester takes her own sandwiches to work every day. She used to make them for me too, and I would gratefully take them with me, then chuck them in the bin at clientco and go and find a decent restaurant. I thought, best appear grateful. Then she found out from someone who saw me stuffing the sarnies into and overful bin and hadn't made them any more.

I used to make my own sandwiches way back in my first job, back as others have said, they are a bit drab compared to nice shop bought ones.

I eventually realised spending a £5 a day or whatever wasn't the end of the world, and since I started contracting even less so.

That being said, everyone is different, you don't know their circumstances at home and why they might appear tight.

A manager in an old workplace of mine always seemed the same, mega tight, I eventually found out he had 6 kids and that was the reason he was so skint.

Indeed, I make BGG a packed lunch so that he will not have to walk to the local shop

Sometimes she will make them but most of the time I will make them. She will however put the rest of the packed lunch together with a range of healthy snacks and fruit.

I used to eat them early then get something else and sometimes didn't eat them at all and get something else but I'm trying to cut out all the Pret/Eat/Wasabi/Fuzzy's lunches as even though I can afford them I'd rather have the money to spend on other things. Also for waistline reasons I'm trying to cut down to just the sandwiches + healthy snacks. Right now I'm only supplementing with a soup, hopefully soon I'll be down to just the sandwiches.

Once a week, usually a Friday I'll allow myself a burger and chips washed down with a couple of pints, although recently it's been more like 2-3 times a week

We usually have a fair bit of meat left over from our sunday joint, so the missus makes me butts every day till the meat goes crusty. The only friction is that I always reckon the meat is good for a couple more days, where she is a lot more cautious

When you DO take in your own, they quickly start to look very drab compared to what everyone else brings in or buys.

I didn't find that, but that's because I am a cheese fan. There is no finer pleasure than popping into Paxton and Whitfield and spunking a pony on a nice creamy yarg.

My ash-dusted Chevre between two slices of Warbutons beats everybody's soggy plasticy Pret a Manger any day.

spunking a pony

Cheese made from pony spunk? Sounds wonderful.

Pret a Manger any day.

Ham and eggs bloomer. Yum.
