    K9 - what is AGCJ? Can't for the life of me work that one out! I'm sure I'll feel a dimwit when you tell me!

    well we are skint so I will be meal planning more carefully

    whether OH will eat it or not is a different matter :(

    I often plan and the his BD appears and it goes out of the window + he has just discovered he's diabetic so a lot of our normal meals are out of the window :(:(

    GRRRR
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Also want to make chicken noodle soup with liver dumplings, but need to find best day to get the time... I don't think I can do it before next weekend really, so will assign days around shopping for then
    (don't have assigned day for shopping)

    Change of plan for the weekend as we're not going away because of the weather forecast!

    Fri: Burger & onions in buns
    Sat: Pork chop, roast pots & roast veggies
    Sun: Cooked chicken (have a cooked half chicken in freezer). Will slice the breast and cook in gravy, served with HG boiled new pots, 2 or 3 veg from freezer

    Good to be using up more freezer stuff!
