    Its a bit early for the drink, isn't it? :eek: :p

    Well let's see how close I stay to this one...

    I know I should be making sure there is something in for lunches but I just can't be fussed right now. So will throw the usual things in the trolley and hope something can be thrown together.

    7 dinners:

    Chick peas + cauli with rice
    Mixed bean bake
    Ocean-style pie
    Butter beans in ratatouille with garlic bread
    Chilli + rice
    Pea soup + garlic bread
    Savoury roll with veg, pots + gravy
    Love and compassion to all x
