NTBY - Wow, what a thing to do
That is really bad.
My mealplan for the week is as follows:
Fri - Pasta Bolognese
Sat - Risotto
Sun - Freezer roulette (moussaka and toad in the hole left)
Mon - Open BBQ Chicken/Bacon sandwiches with salad
Tues - Fajitas
Weds - TBC
Thurs - Black Bean Chicken & Noodles
I'll be making some cakes at the weekend for a future BBQ (hoping I can freeze carrot cake minus topping!) and will be doing some batch prep work for later meals on Saturday. Shopping list is minimal - just as well as I've overspent already so far this month!
Have a lovely evening/week, everyone. NTBY hope something good happens for you soon (hugs)

Thanks for your thoughts, everyone. Was also shocked that they took the effort to carry out the fridge when they missed other things, like a laptop under the bed and jewelry etc.
