No Robyn just trying really hard with budgeting and not wasting anything.....
Hally is the cheer leader on this.

DS is here all week, if it were just me it'd be soup and boiled eggs and occasional baked spud. DD home at weekend too for DS birthday.

With the menu planning, we often have enough left overs for an extra meal that I dont freeze which is good. Tonight is roast pork with  all the veg,  we have enough left over from last night. We were 3 for dinner then 6, so I cooked up lots of extra veg but they werent eaten, so easy dinner tonight

Just as well as I had bad pain last night. One day I will be pain free.

So sorry about the pain.

I did extra mash, and veggies today, these will go Into shepherd pie with chopped meat and gravy. Only have to sweat an onion.

[Halex]

Yes DJ, pain in all ways.

Just probably used it too much yesterday

Cookie, this is a very cheeky request, but would you mind posting a picture of your menu plan sheet on here somehow?  I am a repeat offender menu-plan fail person, mostly because I find I cant cope with a menu plan and unexpected things that pop up ...... mayabe a more detailed plan like you have described would help?

Cookie emailed it to me about 6-8 months ago Karen and it's really great. I struggled with meal planning before this.

I do that to Robyn. I pack leftovers in to microwave safe containers for mum and SD to take to work

[droverjess]

So far so good have suck to the list and started a sponge dough for rolls for freezer tomorrow.

[Halex]

Dh always has left overs for lunch.
