I was rubbish at mealplanning this week, and we ended up having a chippie last night as a result. Must do better...
DH has informed me though that he'd prefer NOT to have a roast dinner (I'm not sure if that's a temp thing becuase of his wrist, or a more fundamental thing), so I am amending my thinking slightly.
Today: Oven chips and chicken wings from freezer
Fri: Spaghetti bol (sauce in freezer) or pasta vongole
Sat: Fish?
Sun: Perhaps lamb shanks from slow cooker or a stew
Mon: Chilli
Tues: Macaroni cheese
Wed: Nasi Goreng
Thurs: Pasta Vongole or spag bolGC 2010 €6,000/ €5,897
GC 2011:Overall Target: €6,000/ €5,442 by October

This is my first ever weekly meal plan so wish me luck in sticking to it!!! I can already see what I need to buy from the supermarket and that I don't need to go until Sunday (I would usually go either today or Fri) Having this list of meals means I know exactly what I need to buy and won't buy unnecessaries that will get binned!!!

Friday - Tortilla with beans and grated cheese
Saturday - minestrone soup and bread
Sunday - gammon joint, potatoes, peas, hm parsley sauce
Monday - HM lentil, carrot and sweet potato soup (using gammon stock) with bread
Tuesday - spaghetti carbonara with leftover gammon
Wednesday - Sausage, mash, veg and gravy
Thursday - LO sausage in HM tom sauce over pasta
Breakfast is always cereal/toast/dried fruits/fresh fruit
Lunch will be sandwiches or rice cakes with marmite/cheese.
Snacks will be fruit or rice cakes with cheese
Also plan on making some smoked mackeral pate for the first time
