    Here's my mealplan for the coming week:

    Fri: Steak pie (after last week, couldn't resist) with mash or chips
    Sat: Leftover Pie with whatever we didn't have tonight
    Sun: Lasagne with Garlic Bread
    Mon: Tomato Soup & Croutons (trying to have a meat-free Monday)
    Tues: Curry & Rice (from the freezer)
    Weds: Not sure
    Thurs: Toad in the Hole
    Fri: Sausage Casserole with Mash (ultimate comfort foodie heaven!)

    When the oven is on I'll make the most of it and bake something. When the oven is on for the Toad in the Hole I'll use the leftover batter with some icing sugar and pour it in a dish with some cherries in to make a clafoutis ... mmm

    Have a good week, everyone.

    Friday- OH's birthday so we're going out for dinner
    Saterday - Green Thai Curry made with rice noodles and salmon
    Sunday - Sausage Casserole with baked potatoes/roast potatoes

    breakfast will be yoghurt, fruit and cereals
    lunches will be LO's to heat in microwave or pop in wraps and fruit and cereal bars.

    I didn't do a meal plan and ended up completely in a mess and at a loss.

    I think it's good to have a plan, which can then always be altered to suit, rather than no plan, which is when I find the takeaway very tempting.

    M - had fish out of freezer with peas
    T - lasagne
    W - hot dogs with lots of onions
    Th - baked potatoes with baked beans and cheese
    F - Out for dinner with friends
    s - Will go shopping and thinking crispy duck
