Happy mothers day x :j

Another use up week this week to help reign in my spending.
Sunday- The family are cooking :eek: Nothing too testing mind just bangers, mash and mushroom and onion gravy with peas.
Monday- Corned beef hash, I'll do it today in the sc to heat up after work.
Tuesday- King prawn stir fry with samosa and spring rolls.
Wednesday- I'm going to try making ham and egg pie as Flos looked so nice the other day in the what are you making for dinner thread, we'll have chips and peas with it.
Thursday- Southern fried chicken with wedges and coleslaw.
Friday- Spicy chicken wings with noodles, samosas and spring rolls.
Saturday- Pizza and garlic bread night.

I should only need to buy the coleslaw as I have everything else in. Fingers crossed for a very low spend week.
I just need to plan lunches and snacks now. I'll have a nosey in the cupboards.

Hi all,

May I join you? I need to prod myself into meal planning again - seems to have gone out the window but I know it's REALLY helpful

My meal plan for this week:
Monday - L soup and cheese, berries and nuts; dinner - out for church function
Tue - out with a friend; dinner out with bf :j
Wed - soup and cheese; steak and veg
Thurs - steak and veg; soup (freeze rest for lunches)
Fri - soup; omelette and toast

Sat/Sun probably mostly with bf who will have had surgery during the week.
Breakfasts will be eggs and toast, yoghurt, cereal and nuts.
Snacks for work - nuts (unless I manage to make a cake!)

Wow that looks pretty boring - but I'm trying to spend very little for the next couple of weeks until payday, having overspent last month.

Hope no one minds if I join in here?

M. HM chicken and vegetable pie, mash and broccoli
T. Sausage casserole and dumplings
W. Gammon, egg and chips
T. Hopefully gammon and salad wraps of there's enough leftover, if not will throw something in from the freezer
F. Beans or egg on toast followed by some sort of HM pudding
S. HM sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice
S. Jacket potatoes with tuna and salad for me, beans and cheese for the hubby, dd and ds2 and pizza (shop bought) for ds1

This is subject to change days.
Breakfast will be cereals and lunches sandwiches, soup or leftovers. Packed lunch for two eldest kids.

Dh is one nights this week, so Tuesday to Friday he will have what we had the night before warmed in the microwave for his dinner before he goes. Then when he gets in (11.30pm) he has, sandwiches, packet noodles or HM chicken soup (or rather the excess of sauce from the chicken pie I made today, with some extra water in :rotfl:) to choose from should he be hungry.
Will need to buy tuna, wraps, pizza, tin of pineapple and eggs but have everything else in.
