Boohoo - thought this was something i hadn't discovered yet. Not to worry, probably for my own good as i can't have B&B pudding doing SW. I do miss it though!

Saterday was Spaghetti Carbonara and some chocolate cake I'd baked in the afternoon.
Sunday will be something with fish as my DD is working and hates fish. maybe make a light batter and cut it into strips and fry and have with chips and peas and tartare sauce.
Monday is Veggie shepherds Pie ( already made yesterday:j)
Tuesday is Pasta bake which I will make up today
Weds not sure as I am out with friends
Thursday could be chicken jalfrezi (with Quorn pieces) and leftover curry paste from fridge and rice. I think I have some mini naans in the cupboard too.

I actually had OH help me with ideas for the meal plan this week so that's a victory :T Most of the meat was already in the freezer but I only spent £35 in A!di stocking up for this week + some store cupboard items so another victory :T. I did then go and spend £15 in sainsbobs but this was for some cleaning products and store cupboard stuff that A!di didn't have so doesn't count as a meal expense for the week. Still annoyed that I spent £15 in there though :mad:. So here's the meal plan for this week...
Sun - Chicken & chorizo tray bake
Mon - Curry
Tue - HM doner kebabs
Wed - Sausage, egg, chips & beans
Thur - Ranch pasties
Fri - Stir Fry
Sat - Moussaka
Just realised I've got 2 lamb-mince based meals and I'm not sure if I've got two packs - might have double counted! Still, I'll be back at the SMs next Sat for next weeks grub so I can always top up then.0 -
last weeks food went down very well, hope its the same this week
friday - mince and sweet potatoe pie
saturday - spag bol
sunday - apple tart
monday - gammon mash and veg
tuesday - sausages and mustard mash
wednesday- ham and leek pie
thursday - meatloaf
extras - flap jack and syrup cakeI'm trying so hard to be thrifty, but it doesn't come naturally. You lot are an inspiration!JUST LOVES THE O/S BOARD0
