Meal plan this week is not really a meal plan Although, there's enough in for them all to have different and feel like they can choose, it will mean we are using up so 'odd' meals where I've froze one extra portion so not enough for the 4 of them to have the same anyway

Tonight is something with jacket potato (late dinner as the kids visit relatives with my mum) so this is quick. Probably pulled pork for the males and tuna for the girls.

Tomorrow lasagne, salad and garlic bread. Again quick and easy OH is working and I want to do some gardening.

Sunday, Roast chicken dinner. (Anyone seen the pattern yet Sunday rule and chickens cheap and stretches )

Monday Curry and rice using said chicken leftovers

Tuesday Jacket potatoes again! We have an appointment right at school pick up time BOO! Probably with cheese/beans and bacon for the males and Cheese or tuna for the girls.

Wednesday Spag bol and salad (might have to be garlic bread don't know how happy the salad will be come then )

Thursday Chilli with the left over spag bol bulked out

There's cereal/toast* and fruit for breakfasts

There's fruit for snacks*

*MAKE bread! Don't forget! This means there's toast if not then it will be cereal or pancakes :rotfl: No I won't forget will I

*Snacks. Make flapjack and biscuits. Maybe some cakes for father's day. Depends what mood the kids are in :rotfl:

Make a meal out of nothing me

Even if it meals all 4 having something different (I make the kids think its a treat I always freeze a 'left over' portion too. Even if it isn't a full portion it can be made more with veg/potato or rice etc or even stirred through pasta to make it look more)

I make the most basic bread ever! and why its on to bake I'll put biscuits/flapjack or something else in the oven too.

I'm quite lucky the kids love pancakes and feel like its a 'treat' and its about 10p for a plate full

My cooking is really basic, and I'm not adventurous, or have loads of fancy ingredients

Another day in the crazy household.

Kids much dissapointed I've declared no computer games today! DS is becoming a bit too much of hidden in the bedroom syndrome. Naughty naughty. Back to 30 mins a day I think! He seem's to think hes 18 not 8!

Its lovely weather all the washing is done and the bedding all hung out to line dry, can't beat the feeling of climbing into bedding that's been dried outside small things

Still doing surveys they do get a bit boring must keep the end goal in sight

Kids have finally been fought into the shower, dressed and chucked outside after having bacon and eggs for breakfast along with a pot of 'tea' that was really water :rotfl: .. still feel like a cafe but hey it keeps them pleased its worth it :A

Fathers day cards are half made and will be finished later.

Not much else to report, general cleaning is done but I want to do some jobs outside, make better steps on the castle, and make the side rails a bit higher because kids will be kids and have been caught sitting on the current rail :eek:

We've made our whole garden furniture for the kids and castles and tree house all from free wood and pallets. All the local kids now see our garden as the best ever :rotfl:

Toni'sfriend

I get tired just reading your diary. Where do you get your energy from. Did you ever get the cooker and beds sorted out?

Hiddenidenity

No new to us cooker yet.

The kids beds are sort of sorted, not from my mum though yet. If the ones of mum don't come off we will replace what we are currently using one by one, but for now they are fine to use just not brilliant
