So, inspired/shamed by everyone else on here I have made meal plans for eight weeks. I may change the week order round but basically it will be as follows:
Week 1:
Drawer one. Icecream, goats cheese and pork joint. Bread. Looks like goats cheese on toast, roast pork and icecream.
Week 2:
Drawer two. Random thing, rice, cocktail sausages, streaky bacon. Sausage meat. Cranberries. Tomato puree. Looks like Tom's stuffing minus the chestnuts in week 2 :T.
Week 3:
Drawer three. Random bread. Random meat. Lasagne. Random rice & something for lunch. Hunters Gammon (like chicken but with pigs).
Week 4:
Drawer four. Lots of raw meat :eek:. Chicken and pork and beef. Plus breadcrumbs (as in escaped bits from drawers 1 & 3). Escaped peas from long ago. Looks like breaded chicken and em.... other stuff.
So, that's month one :T. Simples :j.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

The meal planning syndrome must be catching. This evening I opened a tub of sour cream & onion Pringles, and have already planned to open the cheese and onion ones, followed by salt & vinegar.
Although I may well go for salt & vinegar followed by cheese & onion just to mix things up.
I have a spreadsheet detailing this should anyone require a copy:DFebruary13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

Don't you think maybe some Doritos would add a bit of variety? Mr GG and I did go for the sour cream and onion ones last night after much deliberation (well, about five seconds worth).

Decluttering some Cava from proper cooking on Friday - it's more frizzante than fizzy but going down ok. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

Yeh, I don't know if you can tell, however I have just necked a couple of large glasses of fizzy Pinot Grigio.
PS can you send me the Doritos recipe?February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
