Oooh poor you, you have my sympathies! You dont realise how much you use/need it until you dont have one do you?
Our convection microwave (used for everything as oven in this house is carp) broke in December and i cried lolblame the hormones!
I couldn't believe how much we relied on it until it was gone, luckily got another ordered and delivered within 5 days - i nearly kissed the delivery man lol :rotfl:
Not as bad as the time when didn't have a fridge for 2 weeks but lets not get into that :mad: lol

Hello,
This is the first time that I've posted on the meal plan thread, it has been a great help to me to see what others are having as menu planning doesn't come easily to me. Here's my plan:
Saturday: Sausage casserole with mashed pots
Sunday: Curried mince with basmati rice
Monday: Scrambled egg on toast (I'm by myself so I tend to eat lighter meals)
Tuesday: Left over Sausage casserole from Saturday reheated
Wednesday: Roast chicken (if my local Co-op has any, the last two days the 'chicken' shelves have been empty)
Thursday: Tinned Mackerel with salad and jacket potato (by myself again, DH hates the smell of mackerel so I only ever eat it when he's not around!)
Friday: Chicken with rice (using leftovers from Weds.)
I might swap Monday and Tuesday night meals around, not sure yet.:D

Hiya Penny Pincher
Im so sorry, a little behind this week Im afraid, myself & OH have just gone through the cupboards, fridge & freezers, and done this weeks shopping list (ready to do Sun am) there's not a lot of shopping we actualy need, as I want to use up what we have! (OH wages have been messed up over Xmas & NY, and not been paid as much) so hopefully when its sorted, we can do a BIG SHOP & re-stock everything up.
Anyway, here goes what we intend to have this week.
Sat - Chicken balti, & Chicken tandoori with Naan bread
Sun - Chicken & mushroom pies with veg & mash
Mon - kids - pizza & onion rings with HM potato wedges
OH - corned beef hash
Me - ocean pie
(using up stuff - cant you tell)
Tues - Sausage casserole or just plain bangers & mash with veg (not decided yet)
Weds - Chicken with Campbells mushroom soup & pasta
Thurs - Savoury mince, mash & veg
Fri - usually a take away for myself & OH. (Kids will be at their dads)
Have a great week!!!Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0 -
I’m doing the grocery challenge so this menu is based on what I’ve already got in the house. My daughter and I are vegy but my DH and DS aren’t so I have to do two meals each night.
Sat - Cheese fondue with a mountain of French bread and vegetables
Sun - Roast Pork/Vegy Roast with roast potatoes, peas, carrots and swede
Mon - Sausages (both vegy & meaty ones) potato bake, peas and sweet corn
Tues - Enchiladas (both mixed bean & mince ones), pepper salad, tortilla chips
Wed - Pasta & shop brought sauces, Salad
Thurs - Slow cooker vegy chilli/meaty chilli & rice (yes, I have 2 slow cookers!)
Fri - HM Pizza, garlic bread & salad
It's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.0 -
I finally sorted out the freezer so here's my meal plans for next week.
Tonight - Pork chops with grainy mustard and tomato sauce + mash
Sunday - Roast Gammon, parsley sauce and roasties
Monday - Sausage and Lentil Hotpot
Tuesday - Mince + tatties
Wednesday - using up opened packs of burgers/fishfingers/chicken things + chips
Thursday - Shepherds Pie and roast veg
Friday - Venison and Leek Pie
I've taken up the challenge to not spend anything at work for a month so I'm making soups to take to work for lunch.
Have a great week everyone.;)Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts - DFW Nerd 323
