Story of my day so far - I had it all written out, and pressed the back button by mistake and lost everything

Saturday: Out at MIL's
Sunday: Homemade Chicken Nuggets with Jacket Potato wedges and salad
Monday: Spaghetti Bolognese, potentially with garlic bread
Tuesday: Omelette, or other quick thing. OH might be out, might not so I can't plan - grr!
Wednesday: Chicken Fajitas with extra veggies
Thursday: Lamb Tikka Kebabs with salad and pitta breads
Friday: Hen Day. This might not happen due to arguments between friends... (best laid plans of mice... *sigh*) I'll still have people over so I shall probably do nachos or a massive risotto. If the whole thing happens, it'll be cocktails and a take-away.
Saturday: Homemade Cornish Pasties (I've got a recipe on a tetowel I shall probably try). There'll be some from the freezer, but since there's a chance we'll go to the BMF show that day, it could be good.
Breakfasts will be cereals, lunches will be sandwiches. Any snacks will be homemade (if I get around to making them, some cookies).
SunnyGirl, I'm thinking of you and your Dad. (((hugs)))

S: Cheese and beans jacket potatoes with salad.
M: Spanish omelette & salad.
T: Spinach & sweetcorn crispbake, brocolli & boiled potatoes.
W: Chicken & mushroom pie (OH)/veggie sausages (me), mash & brocolli.
Th: Vegetable stir-fry with noodles.
F: Dinner @ M&D's.Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170 -
