Could we start a meal plan thread again, so it's not lost in the GC?

I'll start a proper meal plan again once Dd1 is back at uni properly, as she is here one week then not the next (here at the moment). So I've just had veg noodles and soya chunks and Moroccan tagine when she wasn't here, and a few other things like burgers.
Also commenting to bump the thread as I couldn't even find it. It had dropped to page 89!!
Tonight we have had a Plant Kitchen (m and s) meal deal, which wasn't that nice tbh.
Southern fried fillets, popcorn cauli bites, peas and chips.
Tomorrow will be something child friendly for GD as she has ADHD and possibly Autism and is very rigid with food.GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £89.90/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

Another week rolls round. Slightly changed tonight’s chorizo and cannellini bean meal by turning it into a stew rather than a hash. Everything else to plan. All sorted for next week, will shop tomorrow:
Sat - prawn saganaki, broccoli, crusty bread
Sun - roast chicken, roast new potatoes with feta, green veg
Mon - tuna and green bean pesto pasta
Tues - beans on toast
Wed - chicken egg fried rice
Thurs - pea and porcini risotto, mushrooms, green veg
Fri - chorizo, potato and sweetcorn hash, fried egg
Making Thai sweet potato soup this week.1 -
This is my meal plan for this week -
Monday - Fishcakes, Chips and Sweetcorn
Tuesday - Fishfingers, Chips and Beans
Wednesday - Jacket Potatoes
Thursday - Chicken and Vegetable Rice
Friday - Pizza, Garlic Bread, Veg Sticks
Saturday - Teriyaki Beef and Jasmine Rice
Sunday - Shepherds Pie and Beans
I realised that I’d made a mistake with Monday and Tuesday with fishcakes and then fishfingers and went to change the monthly meal plan on the fridge to have the lasagne that we didn’t have this week as we ate at my parents. Actual dissent from the children, so double fish it is!
