It seemed to be missing something @Shaz51 and pasta was sticky.

Lol @Former-Member
Timely reminder considering I skipped breakfast this morning and did not bring lunch with me to work 🤪

Would something premaking /freezing sandwiches or having a box of museli bars (healthy???) in your work bag be helpful @Determined

I often think I should pack something the night before @Former-Member
Rolled oats is my usual breakfast, tin of fish and green leaf mix salad for lunch so it's not hard. Just that I forget.

I know it is not hard, but actually doing it ... yikes. A bit pricey but cheaper than buying out @Determined are the sachets of oats if there is a microwave at work. Tins of tuna and some crackers could also be a back up if you don't take a salad.
