For lunch today, I am eating a Nutella, peanut butter and salt & vinegar crisps sandwich. It's a bit disappointing. I am drinking Barr Cola, which I have not seen before. Apparently, it's refreshing the nation. |

I'm not sure how I'm going to top the lunch I had yesterday which comprised entirely of things bought from Greggs. |

The last couple of times I've gone past between 12 and 1, it's had no rolls or batons, and a tiny handful of sandwiches. Enquiries amazingly found that, no, they'd not sold out, but that they didn't have anything ready. At noon. Today, for me, it'll be a large wholemeal roll with pork slices, apple sauce and lettuce, I think. |

I've had a Dairlyea Dunker (Nachos variety - not too bad but the nachos are insufficiently robust to survive a proper scooping), some low fat crisps and a maple cereal bar. Total about 270 cals. I did have a whey protein shake and a protein bar early doors though so I am proper windy now. |

That's what I do when in the office, yo. Leave at 1PM (in a group), return at 1.45 (the group protects us from individual accusation), eat slowly until 2.30 yelling I'M EATING MY LUNCH! if anyone approaches me with a reasonable request or important task that only I can do. Go for a ciggy, have a wee, make another drink. I can sometimes make lunch last from 1 - 3.30, on a good day. |

Home-made sausage pasta, leftover from tea last night. Yum! I've found Tesco Premium Diet American Cola to be astonishingly nice, although I still buy billions of Diet Coke cans from CostCo in an entirely useless attempt to wean me off it (again) - currently 30-can packs (individually marked as '29p when sold separately') for 21.7p/can. Hoorah! |

I used to eat very tasty delicatessan food at lunch times all the time, but it got a bit too expensive, and since Greggs is the closest now I tend to get food there. I likes egg mayo, and I likes tuna mayo now - though I didn't use to. Egg mayo is great because it's cheap and universal - though unfortunately the bread is insufficiently soft when it comes to white baps, and is infuriatingly stale at the edges. Tch. On pay day I go to Madam Fromages and get a marscapone, olive and parma ham baguette. It is the most lush thing in the sandwich universe. |

I used to go to Tesco to buy my lunch, every day, and throw in a bottle of Fentiman's Cola as a daily non-treat treat. Every lunch would come to about a fiver, which is scary when you add it up to being £100 a month. What a waste. I could buy so many penny sweets with that. |

I buy all my bread, cheese and cold meats from Aldi for my butties these days. Taste great and saves a hellovalot of money. |

This Barr Cola is okay. It has a quite nice taste, but that lasts for 0.00000000000 pico-second* and is therefore ultimately unfulfilling. Only 33p though. * I asked my physicist friend to confirm this. |

I had a grande burrito for lunch, accompanied by Salty Dog crisps. The burrito rules. It is full of chilli, rice, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, mexican beans and cheese. It is unfathomably delicious (and equally bad for me, I am sure). |
