I impulse bought a chicken at the butchers so this plan is not what it was going to be when I did the sainsburys shop yesterday. I need EASY this week, because I've suddenly got a deadline for revisions on an article and am working all weekend. I'm pleased - it's my third attempt to get this published - but I hadn't allocated time to do it, and it's gonna be tight.

Saturday: (children at party in early afternoon, not likely to be very hungry later) vegetable biryani (hm, the baked one from BBC Good Food), mint raita (hm) and peshawari naan (bought), tomato soup & toast for children
Sunday: pea soup from freezer for lunch, sandwiches for anyone who doesn't want it; roast chicken and vegetables for dinner [cook ham hock for DH's lunches during week, freeze some leftover chicken]
Monday: (lunch provided as at lunchtime seminar) leftover chicken, gravy & veg
Tuesday: ham & pea risotto using stock from the hock
Wednesday: lamb chops, tabbouleh, roasted tomatoes & asparagus
Thursday: sausages, mash, onion gravy, green beans, yorkshire puddings (not hm)
Friday: salmon grilled with teriyaki sauce, stir fry veg, rice

This is the first time I have put my menu on here.

its nothing spectacular:

Monday- something with the leftover beef from tomorrow's sunday dinner- maybe beef in black bean sauce (have a jar in the cupboard)
Tuesday- ham egg & chips (nice & simple)
Wednesday- HM pizza & salad
Thursday- Something from the freezer (start work earlier tonight) prob spag bol or lasange
Friday- lamb & aubergine stew with rice
Saturday- not sure yet!
Sunday- roast dinner (have lamb, beef & chicken in freezer but unsure which one we will be having yet)

nothing fancy there. oh likes to have lamb and aubergine at the end of the week as its his takeaway- he used to buy it from a kebab house near us, but he says mine tastes better

how can you guys plan meals like this, (only using this quote as an example, but I am speaking in general terms), on the budgets everyone is talking about.

they all look like expensive meals.

All those meals look quite cheap to make TBH. The most expensive I would assume are the lamb shanks but you could get some cracking deals from the butcher.
