    I'm not really sure what we're having this week (it depends on how DH is feeling) but I want it to look something like this:

    Monday - Chicken, bacon & tomato pasta bake - didn't happen
    Tuesday - Tomato soup with croutons and a bread roll - will be enchiladas instead
    Wednesday - Stir fry with noodles
    Thursday - Toad in the hole with baked beans
    Friday - Chicken Enchiladas (from a packet :s ) - Will probably be soup
    Saturday - Not sure - I don't know what's happening food-wise for New Year's Eve
    Sunday - Lasagne, with a good 4 portions to freeze for another time.

    There's plenty of Christmas food leftover for lunches, as well as some chocolate biscuits and cake for snacks and puddings. We were originally going to be cooking for all the family, but as DH has 'flu we couldn't and so have a fair bit to use up. :) Have a good week, everyone.

    I'm still on an empty the freezers mission so once again my meals are not a 'typical' weeks meals. There is also the added fact that I may not be eating at home every evening (DS nursery is closed over the hols so my Dad will be looking after him for 2 days and they MAY offer to feed me those evenings - if this is the case then the meals planned for that evening will just be moved into next weeks mealplan). So the FINAL MEALPLAN OF THE YEAR :eek: will look something like this.................

    MONDAY
    Lunch - at mum and dads
    Dinner - at mum and dads

    TUESDAY
    Lunch - HM donner kebab
    Dinner - (at work) HM soup and filled roll

    WEDNESDAY
    Lunch - (at work) Ham salad wrap
    Dinner - sausage and mash (m&d may offer to feed me)

    THURSDAY
    Lunch - soup and sandwich
    Dinner- mum and dads

    FRIDAY
    Lunch - chicken salad roll
    Dinner - veg curry and naan (m&d may offer to feed me)

    Wow that looks like such an empty week and really not very exciting but I realy want to get my freezer empty and due to the Christmas holiday's my parents are helping me out with DS a bit more than normal. Breakfasts are the cereal we have in, toast or fruit and snacks will be leftover xmas snacky things :D
