Thursday - leftover stew depending how much is left...
Friday - omelette with potato wedges
Saturday - homemade fish cakes
Sunday - [STRIKE]sausage and bean casserole with cous cous[/STRIKE] made a concoction of pasta with butter bean sauce (yuck!) with sausages. Congealed and really not very appealing, won't be doing that againGrocery challenge - Nov: £52/£100
