    I have everything in that I need apart from maybe a loaf of bread if DS wants sandwiches on Thursday or treating himself to pay day treat at the sandwich shop

    Sunday DS and OH have a hangover so the sausages for today are bumped to tomorrow - had beans and sausages on toast followed by a Pot Noodle!!

    Monday Slow cooker chicken, piggies in blankets using sausages that were for Sunday and some leftover bacon, roast pots, sprouts, carrots, mashed turnip and sweetcorn

    Tuesday Cold chicken and piggies in blankets, baby potatoes, salad, coleslaw,beetroot and red cabbage - will freeze any leftover chicken

    Wednesday fish, potatoes mashed with garlic and herb philly and peas

    Thursday pasta with HM meatballs and HM tomato sauce possibly with garlic bread

    Friday not sure maybe HM thai fishcakes or whatever I fancy out of freezer as that is quite full

    Breakfast will be toast, cereal, fruit and yoghurt or smoothies

    Lunch, leftovers, cheese and crackers, sandwiches ham or tuna,

    snacks, biscuits quavers loads of fruit and yoghurt
