    We're running on store cupboard this week and using up the fridge contents as we're going away on Thursday evening so I don't want to have to go shopping and perishabales are a no go area after the forgotten veg last time we went away... _pale_ :rotfl: Not making cake this week - we have a lot of fruit to use up and yogurt that has to be eaten, so OH can eat that if he wants sweet stuff.

    So:

    Sunday lunch: Chicken breasts (frozen), carrots, roast potatoes, apple pie
    Sunday dinner: Cheese on toast
    Monday lunch: HM store cupboard noodle soup, fruit
    Monday dinner:Store cupboard random pulse curry :D, rice
    Tuesday lunch: Rest of random curry, rice
    Tuesday dinner: HM pizzas - toppings from fridge random stuff
    Wednesday lunch: store cuboard rice salad, fruit
    Wednesday dinner: Fish fingers, HM potato wedges, frozen peas
    Thursday lunch: baked potatoes, topping from fridge random stuff
    Thuirsday dinner: will be in Germany by then :)

    Have a good week everyone :)

    Payday on Fri :j To plan to do a shop then for Christmas week as I DO NOT want to be having to go on Mon except to stock up on bread and milk :rolleyes:

    Isn't it funny how the shops are closed for ONE day, yet everyone seems to beeline for xmas eve and stack trolleys up to the brim, yet I normally only 'do' a food shop once every 10 days :rolleyes:
