Well last week went better than the week before and we managed ALL meals planned, but then again I did plan as the week went by instead of in one go! So lets see if I can do that well again this week with the meal plan prepped before the week starts 
NB. I have Insulin Resistance and therefore eat a Low Gi/GL diet, so sometimes the boys eat different or altered meals (I don’t want people to think I cater for fussy eaters!) :cool:
Friday (No DS) – [STRIKE]LO Stroganoff[/STRIKE] Mum is feeding us
Saturday (No DS) – LO Apple and Pork Sausage Casserole (and Potato for DH) :dance:
Sunday (No DS) – Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms (Cheese, Onion and Bacon) with Lambs Lettuce :dance:
Monday – HM Lasagne and Salad (w/ Chips for the boys) :dance:
Tuesday – Messy Sandwiches (Bacon, Eggs, Beans and Mushrooms on HM Granary Rolls) :dance:
Wednesday – LO Lasagne, Salad :dance:
Thursday – Bacon and Salami Pizza on a HM Granary Base (w/ Chips for the boys) :dance:
All subject to change to cater for the pregnant woman’s whims

We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

Can't wait to join in as I really need to get my groceries spend under control.
At the minute I'm sadly living on frozen meals (HM of course;)) while I recover from an op. (Very glad I did it though as "proper" cooking would've been a bit or an ordeal the past week or so).
I hope you don't mind me lurking for the next couple of weeks to get some ideas.....Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)
