    Ooh, this looks like it might be fun to join in with - here are my plans for this week:

    Dinners

    Today - burgers for dinner. Not very Sundayish but they were reduced in M&S and oh-so-tasty
    Monday - gammon joint cooked in cola in the slow cooker. Served with chips and peas (Using chips to make room in the freezer)
    Tuesday - tuna steak, peas, tatties
    Wednesday - Spaghetti Bolognaise, just have to remember to defrost it
    Thursday - lamb a la slow cooker. Will have tatties, carrots and other veg with it cooked in the SC as well
    Friday - going to the pub, so Chinese could be an option. Going to take chili out of the freezer though to try and keep me on the right path

    Lunches

    Nothing more exciting than ham sandwiches I suspect as I don't get paid until Friday. I also have yoghurts, apples and crisps for snacks. I must remember to take my flasks with me to work for free coffee fun.

    I have vague plans to make pea and ham soup with the leftover gammon. Any suggestions as to how I do this would be appreciated!

    Hi everyone, I have been wobbling on and off the past week, just can't quite stick to it. I had a pizza dough disaster but that was my own fault! Serves me right for trying to multitask and not paying full attention!

    So here we are, this week is -

    Sunday - Salmon and sweetcorn pasta, gingerbread with custard
    Monday - Beef stew with carrots, potatos, onions and a sneaky little dumpling!
    Tuesday - Broccoli soup and toasties
    Wednesday - Lasagne and salad
    Thursday - Bean and sausage bake
    Friday - Fish chips and mushy peas

    Snacks will be twinks hobnobs, banana and walnut loaf and yogurts

    Breakfasts will be toast, cereal or yogurt and fruit

    Lunches will be ham salad rolls, pasta salad and fruit.

    Aiming to stay completely on track this week!
