    Hello elf :wave:

    This sounds interesting (and very yum! :drool:) - could I be cheeky and ask for the recipe please? :D

    I love this thread and would love to join in, but I can never mealplan, just never know what I'm going to fancy. But am full of admiration for you all being so organised! :A

    Thanks for starting this thread PP. :)

    I know we have quite a lot of food at home, and from memory reckon we could have the following this week. I'll edit at home if I need to make any changes. Looking at it, we probably need a bit more variety! :o

    Thursday - Eggs, chips and beans, and maybe some ham with DH's

    Friday - Red pesto pasta and salad

    Saturday - Chicken for DH and chickpea for me curry and rice. Might make some bombay potatoes or onion bhajis to go with this depending on what's in the cupboard

    Sunday - Roast dinner with a chicken breast for DH and a Quorn cheese and broccoli fillet for me

    Monday - Jacket potato with tuna and sweetcorn plus salad

    Tuesday - Tuna and sweetcorn pasta bake

    Wednesday - Omelette, chips and beans

    Thursday - Green pesto pasta and salad

    Friday - Chicken/Quorn fillet with cheesy mash, veg and gravy

    Breakfasts will be porridge or toast and lunches will be sandwiches with fruit/crisps/cereal bar and a can of drink. My menu probably doesn't sound very OS, but I'm working on it, and it's a big improvement on what we used to eat! :o:)

    I might make some scones this weekend too. :)

    Just sent this list to DH and he said he'll travel to the other office on Tuesday and Thursday (quick dinner nights)! :T So he can start the dinner before I get home on the other nights. :D I'd never even thought about that. :rotfl:
