    Wow, the first meal plan for the new year - I'm still not sure quite where the old year went, though! :eek:

    January's always a tricky month for me money-wise, so I really must try and stick to my meal plans this month. This week I've got:

    Friday (NYE) - supermarket 'takeaway' curry (I figured it was cheaper than a real takeaway! :money:)
    Saturday (NYD) - salami, pepper and onion pizza
    Sunday - chicken and ham pie (from the freezer) with veg (probably steamed cabbage and carrots)
    Monday - beef braised in red wine with root veg mash and steamed cabbage
    Tuesday - chunky beef chilli with garlic bread

    Wednesday (back to work :() - tuna and sweetcorn lasagne (from the Eat Well Spend Less book I won a few weeks ago :D)
    Thursday - gardener's pie
    Back after a very long break!
