    Hi I'm not going to pop days down just yet as I'm still gathering ideas/calendars together, one day will be eating out for DS2s birthday. I'm trying to do WW too, so my 6 are

    Sausage casserole with mash/wedges
    Meatballs & pasta
    Cod & Chips
    Prawn curry with rice
    Beef dinner
    HM ready meal - there is a selection we can all pick from

    For the above I need vegetables. Then lunches will be sandwiches, wraps and salads so same again. Possibly some bread. Think I've got enough things for packed lunches apart from fruit & bread later in the week too. Spending low hopefully this week
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Here goes with another week:

    Monday - Enchiladas
    Tuesday - Hot Roast Beef Baguettes (using leftover roast beef from tomorrow night's tea heated up in gravy in a part-baked baguette...)
    Wednesday - Chicken Rogan Josh with Rice
    Thursday - Sweet & Sour Turkey with Noodles
    Friday - Chilli con Carne with Sautee Potatoes
    Saturday - Mexican Pasta with Meatballs
    Sunday - Jambalaya (which I meant to have last week)

    In a change to last week's mealplan it's a chicken and bacon pie tonight with mash and veggies. Still planning on having a roast beef dinner tomorrow though! I don't really need much in the way of additional shopping next week, so I'm grinning a bit about that. I'm trying to use my initiative to stre-e-e-etch everything as far as it'll possibly go. The pie tonight has 2 chicken thighs roasted in the oven and stripped of meat with 4 rashers of bacon and a white sauce. Mmm...

    Have a good week everyone, and it's so great to see so many meal plans!
