The dangers of bringing a packed lunch to work
I worked out that lunch was costing me about £60 per month, and now that I’m having to commute and my petrol costs have shot up, then this is a cost I can do without. Not least, there are so many choices of lunchtime eatery in Yeovil, and I always end up buying the most fattening (damn you Subway and your foot long meatball sub with extra cheese). On top of this, I always end up popping into some shop or other and spending even more money that I don’t need to. Solution: bring a packed lunch.
Except this isn’t much of a solution, because I now can no longer work my way through the morning hunger pangs when I know that I have a packet of my wife’s delicious cheese, ham and coleslaw sandwiches in my bag. It’s half ten on a Monday, and the sandwiches have just bought it, and now I will have naff all at lunchtime, and will no doubt be wasting away by mid-afternoon. In the words of James May, esteemed motoring journalist: “cock!”
Take a big bag of peanuts in with you, you can get a kg in asda for £1.
then just have the occasional handful. Also, take in your own cereal and eat the 1st thing when you get in.
This normaly staves of my packed lunch until at least 12
happy days.
