I really need to empty my freezer so I can defrost it. However, trying not to waste anything, I have loads of breadcrumbs as I keep blitzing stale bread instead of feeding the birds!

Fri - Pork meatballs with curry sauce
Sat - meal out (scampi and chips)
Sun - Mustard Chicken with celeriac and carrot mash
Mon - Pork burgers (Fridays leftovers)
Tues - on my own, prob fish finger sandwich
Wed - freezer/storecupboard challenge!
Thurs - Fishcakes

Hmmm, need to organise myself. Also, watching Jamie at Home. I've never been a big fan of leeks, but I might have a rethink!

Breakfast - usually something cooked even on work days - I find it stops me picking

Lunches are a mixture of salads or soups

I am on target for my grocery challenge - £200 from 19th January till 18th February for 4, sometimes 5.
Week 1 - £64.85 included dishwasher tablets

Best wishes to everyone

I did use fresh pasta, a la jamie, as my OH thought we should!! :eek: i have to say it went against the grain though!!! and i think it would be just as good with dried pasta!!!

Thanks for the birthday wishes, it is one of the dreaded ones with a "0" on the end !! AAAARRRGGHHH!!!!
