    I've got this week off with the babies *dances*

    Simple meals as I want to get to soft play and catch up with some friends rather than spending a lot of time in the house.

    OH even has a day off in the week (a rare treat) so fingers crossed for some decent weather on Wednesday.

    Breakfasts fruit and yogurt with cereal

    For lunch I'm planning finger food - pinwheel rollups, sliced apples and carrot sticks.

    Dinners will be:

    Monday - Roast chicken dinner
    Tuesday - Baked potato potluck
    Wednesday - Moroccan chickpea, squash and sweet potato bake
    Thursday - Macaroni bolognese with a baked lasagne topping
    Friday - Smoky fish with beans & greens
    Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Anne Lamott

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

    Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.
