    Hi all

    Last eek seemed to get a bit muddled with not having planned leftovers but having loads of unplanned leftovers ???

    Friday - Chicken Chassuer
    Saturday - Takeaway !! (Really want to removethis so will have a think !!)
    Sunday - Pork Roast
    Monday - Pork used up in a Cottage Pie with veg
    Tuesday - Lasagne and chips
    Wedesday - Sausage Casserole
    Thursday - Moussaka

    Snacks will be fruit, HM Hobnobs and some odd packs of crisps and chocolate buscits I found at the back of the cupboard.

    Puddings will be mini apple pies (free apples from butcher !!), HM fruit cake, Angel Delight (found 8 packs in cupboard), Jelly, custard, etc.

    Lunches - Kids have school meals, hubby has pack ups for work so me and baby will have sandwiches, leftovers, etc

    Good news is we only have the kittens for another 2 weeks then they are off to new homes so cat food costs will drop by £2.50 a week !!!
