    I'm a bit late with mine this week but, after the constant changes of plan last week, that's probably no bad thing!

    Friday - pepperoni and pepper pizza
    Saturday - Chinese takeaway (from a local place that does some of the most delicious BBQ ribs :drool:)
    Sunday - cheese tortelloni with slow roast pork, courgette and tomato sauce
    Monday - pork and veg curry, veg dahl, garlic naan bread
    Tuesday - something from the M&S £10 meal deal
    Wednesday - bean and cheese burritos
    Thursday - veggie fajitas
    Back after a very long break!

    This is my first attempt in a long time to plan ahead but here goes (have had enough of running into the shops everyday not knowing what to get and spending a fortune)

    Breakfast - cereals, yoghurt or toast

    Lunches - 4 of us have sandwiches, home made cake, yoghurt and piece of fruit

    Dinner

    Mon - Burgers, potato wedges and salad, Jelly for afters

    Tues - Children at Dads so just me chilli prawns and couscous veg, yoghurt

    Wed - Cottage pie and veg, angel delight

    Thurs - Children at dads - frozen ready meal for me, fruit

    Fri - Toad in the hole, homemade cake

    Sat - kids at dads for weekend - pesto pasta and salad

    Sun - Omlette and salad

    Well is written down now hopefully i can stick to it and avoid the shops as i have everything in the house i need.
    Been stupid but have no regrets starting to slowly sort my finances now the kids are growing
