    Hello! I've decided I'm trying to spend less on food, not so sure if it's working yet!

    Monday: Pasta and Dolmio stir-in for tea, was at a lovely man's house in the day then travelling back.
    Tuesday: Leftover pasta for lunch, then salmon, mash and peas.
    Wednesday: Lunch - sandwich. Dinner - chicken in Spanish Chicken Tonight with rice. I WILL make room in the freezer and make it myself one day, I WILL! Only I have an extra points Clubcard voucher for the sauce so I'm buying at least one more.
    Thursday: Lunch - leftover chicken in sauce and rice. Dinner - turkey drummers, mash and sweetcorn.
    Friday: Lunch - sandwich. Dinner - bean chilli with garlic bread.
    Saturday: Lunch - aforementioned lovely man coming over so sort of hoping there will be pub lunch. Then he has said he'd like a fish curry for tea so I'll do that.
    Sunday: don't know, must consult with the man as to what we are doing about lunch, and dinner too as we're going to a gig in the evening.
