    Hi

    If a meal on my mealplan uses something from the freezer I put F after it. I check the next day's meals after washing up in the evening and get out anything that has an F next to it and put it in the fridge. It's quite easy to train yourself to do this.

    I also take stock of my freezer from time to time and look at the list of what's in it when I'm doing my mealplan - saves me buying something I already have in.

    I'm not sure when I'll next have any money coming in so all my meals are basically running down the freezer and the pantry - aim is to spend only about £20 on the basics like bread and milk:

    Thur - Tortellini, tomato sauce and garlic bread
    Fri - cottage pie made with mince and lentils along with veg
    Sat - battered fish/fish fingers and potato wedges
    Sun - out for dinner with the in-laws
    Mon - Gammon and mash
    Tue - chilli con carne (cottage pie for DS)
    Wed - potato and chorizo omelette

    Breakfasts - cereal/toast
    Lunches - sandwiches or soup
