Ok, here goes:
Saturday: out for a meal
Sunday: potentially at friend's for dinner
Monday: Homemade lasagne from the freezer
Tuesday: At Mum's
Wednesday: Spanish Omelette with Bread and Butter
Thursday: Chicken Curry (probably Rogan Josh)
Friday: Pizza (for a treat, and we've got one in the freezer to use up)
Lunches will be sandwiches or beans on toast, and I do plan to do some baking at some point - I quite fancy the idea of the coconut cake bars, and I might do some more apricot bars.
Have a good week everyone
