Hi everyone, I have sort of fallen out of this thread since I went away at Easter. At a time when there is a lot going on I need to be MORE organised rather than LESS! Anyway, I have a sort of outline plan, not decided on days really except that MIL is feeding us tomorrow.
Sun: MIL
Monday: Lentil Lasagne (HM & in F) as I have to collect from school
Tuesday: Liver & Onions. Not sure what the veggie equivalent of this is LOL!
Wednesday: HM Pizza and Salad
Thursday: Jacket Potatoes, Coleslaw, Salad, cheese, beans whatever
Friday: Did think Soup, but if it's warm it will be salad, potatoes and cold meat or similar
Saturday: DOn't know yet!
In view of rather dodgy looking amount left to spend this month, I need to try and make sure I use some stuff from the freezer.[SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]
Trying not to waste food!:j
