Well things were going well until today. I have managed to get the day off & all this cold weather is making me & OH crave comfort food. So, instead of my planned F/R chicken roast & trimmings tonight I have a sausage casserole in the slow cooker. Dumplings will go in later.

I can't make up my mind if I am weak willed or just plain fickle. Usually when I set my mind to something there's no shaking me, but this cold snap has affected me somewhat I'm afraid. I feel quite deflated, but am certainly going to give it another go - it should make my life a bit simpler & hopefully save £'s.

A hitch which has arisen this week is that my local Mr S (my closest shop of any description - about 2 milwes away) has closed for about a week. Its recently had an extension built & is now being refitted. Now I can't nip down there if I'm getting low on something, but thinking about it, if I manage to meal plan successfully, my little trips down there could almost become a thing of the past. Now that WOULD be nice.

When I was a kiddiewinkle the weekly menu was almost set in stone: roast on Sunday, cold meat etc on Monday, shepherds pie or stew with leftovers on Tuesday, etc etc, fish on Friday, you know the rest! I know it might have been a bit same ol same ol at times, but at least you were sorted regarding the shopping list! Looking back, my mum & nan must have been great with their purse strings.

I shall be declaring my planned menu for next week on the thread in due course & will be giving it my best shot.

Keep warm & safe y'all x
