    I'm just working out our meals for the next week
    Sunday- Beef Asian casserole
    Monday- Omelettes or jacket potatoes with gammon
    Tuesday- Gammon, egg and chips
    Wednesday- Pork and stuffing with 3 veg mash and yorkshire puddings
    Thursday- Turkey curry with turmeric rice :cool:
    Friday- HM pizza
    Saturday- What ever is left over

    I will be buying the pork loin, which is really just like gammon on the Li dl half price weekend deal. I'll buy 4, 2 will make main meals and 2 I'll slice for sandwiches for 2 days and dice to make a quiche for lunch 1 day.
    The rest of our lunches will be soup or lo from the night before or freezer.
    Breakfasts will be toast, porridge, cornflakes or dried fruit with hm yoghurt.
    Snacks will be HM flapjacks, dried fruit, fresh fruit from the super 6 or whatever I can get YS.

    I have really overspent the last week since pay day and I'll be having quite a large spend on Saturday also. I'll have to get through the week on very little for the rest of the week.

    This is ours for the week but I'm already going to shift things around. I'm going to do the gammon and omelettes today and I'll prepare the beef asain style casserole to put on in the slow cooker before work tomorrow.

    Easy week this week, to use up some more freezer supplies before a big shop at the weekend. All the meals are in the freezer / cupboard, so switiching around is fine as long as I don't buy anything!

    S - Chicken curry with rice
    M - Chicken in creamy mushroom sauce with pasta
    T - Paella
    W - Pork chops with sauteed potatoes and baked beans
    T - Spaghetti bolognese
    F - Pulled pork rolls with sauteed potatoes and creamed corn
    S - Pulled pork rolls / out

    Breakfasts and lunches will be cereal, bagels with cream cheese, ham and salad sandwiches, soup, pork goujon wraps, noodles or toast.
    Snacks will be fruit, yogurt, ice cream (I have a sore throat, that's my excuse anyway!) or crackers.

    Have a good week everyone!
