    This is what we will be having this week.

    Monday- HM Pizza with HM garlic dough balls
    Tuesday- Kedgeree
    Wednesday- Sweet chilli lime chicken pasta
    Thursday-Pork loin stir fry
    Friday- HM cheese and onion quiche with chips and beans
    Saturday- HM spicy lentil burgers with HM garlic bread
    Sunday- HM curry using what ever is left that needs using with HM egg fried rice and prawn crackers.

    I shouldn't need to buy anything except potatoes and a bag of stirfry. I've been buying MRMs 50p a bag stirfry and it is really good and does the four of us.

    So I should have a minimal spend week.

    Lunches will be chicken sweetcorn soup and left over gammon and yellow split pea soups.

    For snacks I will make cheese biscuits and a batch of flapjacks. There is also a tonne of dried fruit to snack on.
    We had a change of plan tonight as I didn't get out of work in time to make the quiche.
    Instead me and the kids had carbonara made with half a packet of cooking bacon. My husband had a ys basa fillet that I had in the freezer.

    We will be back on plan tomorrow as they are already made and in the freezer ready to pull out.

    I hope everyone is managing to stick to their plans :)
