    Thanks for starting the thread, SunnyGirl - I can't cope without my weekly dose of nosing into other people's meal plans. :o

    I hope everything's alright with you, PenPin.

    This will probably be my last mealplan for this year (:eek: - where did the rest of the year go?) - I'm likely to be so Christmassed next week that I'll just end up grabbing something from the freezer whenever I have time.

    This week I've got:

    Friday - hm Indian takeway (prawn and mushroom tikka massala, saag bhaji and naan bread)
    Saturday - roast stuffed chicken (from the butcher), roast parsnips and sprouts, followed by some sort of apple-based pudding
    Sunday - ham hock with lentils and spinach
    Monday - spaghetti carbonara (made with leftover ham hock) and salad
    Tuesday - work Christmas meal at lunchtime; in the unlikely event I need food in the evening I'll have a sandwich
    Wednesday - chilli con carne wraps with hm guacamole
    Thursday - beef and leek stroganoff with chips (an odd combination, I know, but I love chips with things in creamy sauces)

    Breakfast will mostly be porridge, which I'm very fond of at the moment, and lunches will be sandwiches.

    What's everyone else having?:)
    Back after a very long break!

Her snacks and puds are usually fruit or sometimes soy yoghurt for pud. DH takes flakes and banana for breakfast at work, a soup when I have made some or peanut butter and lettuce/jam sarnies with an apple and yoghurt for lunch.

    T: Out
    D: Baguette with olive oil to dip it in, olives, carrots, and organic cheese for DH

    Sunday
    B: Vanilla french toast
    L: Green lentil loaf, veggies, potatoes and gravy. Followed by cake and custard.
    T: Avocado with Marie Rose sauce in seeded bread with crisps. Cake.

    L: Rice cakes with banana and raisins.
    T&D: Pitta pizza, peas and wedges
