Hi, can I have a go at this please? I'm planning for it to coincide with 10 nsd's, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed. DH and I work together part of the time so that's good (i.e. he can't cheat ). Here goes:

Monday
B: Fresh mango (for me - on offer 29p at Lidl) Strawberries (on offer for DH) + yogurt
L: Chicken salad (2 thighs leftover from Sunday) + pitta
Veggie pasta bake for me, sausages and leftover 'bubble and squeak' for DH

Tuesday
B: As Monday
L: Soft cheese on bagels, salad
Fish and veggies for me, Boston baked beans for DH. Corn-on-cob

Wednesday
B: Egg and toast for me, toast and marmite for DH
L: Ham, pitta and salad for me, leftover Boston baked beans for DH
Chicken portions, HM savoury rice with LOADS of veg

Thursday
B: Yogurt and apricots for me, crumpets for DH
L: HM soup for me, ham and mustard sandwiches for DH
TVP + veggie bolognaise

Friday
B: As Thursday
L: Ham and mustard sandwiches, cup-a-soup
Existing freezer meals (naughty, I know, but I don't want to waste them) Pasta, rocket and mushroom for me, paella for DH

Saturday
B: Maltloaf for me, crumpets for DH
L: Bacon, veg and lentil soup. Bread/pitta
Sausage, chips and peas for DH, bean burger for me with veggies

Sunday
B: Bacon and tomato sandwiches
L: Pork dinner (pork on special in Sainsburys for £1.44) with the trimmings (chicken portion for me)
Sandwiches (pork and stuffing for DH, cheese and beetroot for me - with loads of pickled onions)

Need to use up 5 oranges and have got packets of crisps if DH is desperate (i'm trying to lose a stone for my holiday in 9 weeks), however, my aim is to ensure we still both get our 5 a day.

Good luck to everyone
Lizzie B

I'd like to join in with this again as I'm completely broke and only have enough for a top-up shop of bread, milk and fruit for this week. Should have enough meat and veg in the freezer to last the two weeks and beans on toast etc to fall back on when we've eaten all the decent stuff!

Saturday - Invited to sister's BBQ, so didn't have to cook. :T
Sunday - Chicken fajitas
Monday - Pizza and garlic bread
Tuesday - Pan fried beef
Wednesday - Chicken chow mein
Thursday - Omelette
Friday - Jacket potatoes
Saturday - Lamb chops
