    Hello folks, need to be organised this week as a lot going on. We have been given 26 double yolk free range eggs, went to the local chicken factory yesterday and picked up 51 chicken legs for £8, and 8 ready stuffed 3lb chickens for £10 plus hubby brought home a 56lb bag of tatties and carrierbag of carrots a farmer gave to him, so these will feature strongly this week, as things are tight
    Saturday: Omolette, chips and peas
    Sunday: Roast Chicken, Roast potatoes, carrots and broccolli
    Monday: out at DD (stew and tatties - stew in freezer)
    Tueday: out at DD (fish and HM chips)
    Wednesday: Stovies with corned beef
    Thursday:HM Creamy chicken and mushroom pie, broccolli and carrots with roast potatoes
    FRiday: Macaroni cheese, garlic bread
    Sandwiches will be cheese, roast chicken, egg mayonaise, tuna and various salad options,
    I will also make scotch eggs and home made sausage rolls for the sandwich boxes, and treats/cakes will be chocolate crispies, banana loaf, scones, cupcakes and a chocolate sponge.
    Shouldn't be a too expensive week as dont have to buy very much at all
    Hope you all have a good week
    Every days a School day!
