Last weeks plan was changed completely as i'm just not in a foody mood. I'm having a bit of a crappy time at the moment and currently waiting to be made redundant, so everything is a bit of a blur at the moment.
I'll do a plan, but may not stick to it depending if I fancy anything....
Monday - leftover chinese takeaway (beef satay with rice)
Tuesday - pasta with tomato sauce
Wednesday - leek and potato soup (will do in slow cooker)
Thursday - [STRIKE]homemade pizza....not sure on toppings[/STRIKE] cheese and tomato omelette with chips
Friday - [STRIKE]might be going to the cinema - if not, will do something easy from the freezer[/STRIKE] staying at my sisters
Saturday - might be at my sisters - if not, might have some spinach, tomato and chickpea curry from the freezer
Sunday - if home, will do pork stir fry with noodlesGrocery challenge - Nov: £52/£100

Well I didnt post last week and although I used the right basis for the meals I can safely say that not one was what it was mean to be :rotfl:. Nothing extra was bought and nothing went to waste but not posting seemed to put the whole thing to pot!! Never mind this week looks something like this:

Dinner - HM minestrone soup
TUESDAY
Lunch - bagels with cheese/prawns etc
Dinner -at work (HM bacon and leek quiche)
WEDNESDAY

Dinner - spinach and lentil en croute with salad and riata
THURSDAY
Lunch - HM pizza
Dinner - at mum and dads
FRIDAY
Lunch - at work (black pud salad)
Dinner - curried aubergine soup and garlic bread
Decided to have a little bit of a shuffle as I am trying to clear some room in the freezer AND I would have had to buy the baked potato so this was I am making room to freeze some other stuff and saving money :rotfl:Emma :dance:
