Mealplans WB 15th August 2008

Hi Guys!
Just over 2 weeks till the kids are back to school:j :j :j :j .....I'm not happy really;)

Here is our next weeks meals:

Thursday-Sausage Cassarole (In SC as I type:D ) & Baked Spuds
Friday-At my mums (Probably Fish & Chips as they ahve a fab chippy in the town)
Saturday-At my mums (Hoping for a Ful Roast;) )
Sunday-At mums
Monday-Chicken, Roasties, Yorkies, Carrots & Swede from garden
Tuesday-Liver, Mash and Veg from the garden
Wednesday-DD's Tea Party
Thursday-Egg, Chips & Beans

On Sunday I have most bits in but will need some ham or I may cook a chicken I have in the freezer. Will also need some salad and will make some HM potatoe salad. Quiche is in the freezer and have the spuds and cheddar in and will boil some eggs.

DD's Tea party is just a few friends over with finger sarnies, cakes and snacks etc but they are here till 7, so may just end up with beans on toast or soup:confused:

Hope you all have a good week.
