    I was very impressed with myself for mostly sticking to the plan last week. We had sweet and sour chicken and rice, instead of the fajitas on one day, and were invited to my Gran's birthday tea another night.

    Have really got to watch the food wastage situation now as money is very tight, so may switch days to use things up sooner. I'm concerned about next week's shopping bill as will need to start restocking the freezer and definitely need to buy more meat. Will only be able to budget £20 a week on food for two of us for the forseeable future. Am off to read the 'feed family on next to nothing' threads now.

    Monday - Steak and ale pie, potatoes, veg
    Tuesday - Chicken chow mein
    Wednesday - Sausage, egg and chips
    Thursday - Lemon chicken
    Friday - Pizza and garlic bread
    Saturday - Beans on toast for OH, macaroni cheese on toast for me
    Sunday - Beef, roasties, yorkshire puds, assorted veg

    As always, it is rough ideas and may change on the day, especially as I can't remember what is coming in the veg box on MOnday.

    Sat: leek/cauliflower/macaroni cheese with optional ham, wilted silverbeet
    Sun: roast lamb, roast potatoes, roast parsnip, carrots, gravy
    Mon: leftover lamb chopped and sizzled in greek herbs, pitta bread, hummous, beetroot salad
    Tues: shepherds pie with the rest of the leftover lamb, whatever green veg I've got, vegetarian sausages & mash for DD
    Wed: trout cooked in foil with soy, ginger & garlic, noodles & stir-fry veg
    Thurs: beanburgers, fried egg, salad & chips
    Fri: freezer surprise ...

    It's a good thing we're getting a new f/freezer for the new house, because there is no way I'll have run down my supplies by moving day.
