    Hi everyone,

    I won't be planning for a full week this week as my new kitchen is getting installed next week.

    So far.....

    TODAY : H/m lasagne & spicy wedges.

    SATURDAY : Sausage casserole, mash, peas & mashed turnip.

    SUNDAY : Pizza, oven chips & curry sauce.

    Lord knows how next week will turn out, I'm dreading the mess & the upheaval. I managed to defrost my freezer today though.

    Have a great week folks!!!

    I'm usually pretty good at sticking to the meal plan as i find it much easier knowing what i am making on what day. OH mentioned he kinda fancied a take away last night but apparently i shot him a look that made him change his mind :rotfl: I'm desperate to pay our fav curry house a visit but i am on the last week of my months GC and i am not jepordising the budget with only a week to go!

    I suppose I should get this started, I usually finish it on a Friday so I can go shopping before the weekend, with the children being off school this of course doesn't matter, but studying got in the way so I haven't even checked the freezer....bother...so time to try it from memory as I'm not going out in the garage now....I'll no doubt have to edit zillion times but will see what I can come up with for now.

    Friday - Chicken breast stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon, served with veg and wedges
    Saturday - Chilli (quorn mince but shhh! don't tell anyone) DS1 fish
    Sunday - B&P risotto for me, chicken for the boys (DP away)
    Monday - Roast dinner - if I can't find beef it'll be sausages
    Tuesday - Burgers in buns
    Wednesday - Something with mozarella because I have lots
    Thursday - Prawn curry?
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
    Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb
