well, I seem to have got over my’ back to work blues’ from the begining of the week, isn’t funny how, just after a couple of days back, you feel like you have never been away :)     I am totally up to date at work, I have been hard at it all week and today I am off  so that  I can  play catch up at home!!!!

I normally spend all my weekends, cooking, washing, ironing and generally catching up, after a full week at work, so today I have  tried to complete all the weekends tasks today, so far I have done three loads of washing, put all the groceries away and prepared tonights tea.  I have also put the slow cook on with that potato peelings soup in, it smells great, but needs another 6 hours yet!!   

I am just about to collect ds2 from school and then we are off to the hairdresser, so that he can have his hair cut, then after tea,  I will drop oh off at work, he sometimes works on a Friday evening, ( his part time job)

I have just completed next week menu plan:

Saturday lunch : home made potato peelings sc soup with wholemeal bread

Saturday tea: Nigella’s mustard pork chops with gnocchi

Sunday lunch: home made sheppards pie with veg ( roast chicken in oven, at same time)

Sunday tea: home made pizza with wedges

work lunchs: take hm soup to work for lunch for the next couple of days.

Monday Tea: Roast chicken with pasta

Tuesday: home made chicken madras, with brown rice 

Wednesday: oven baked cod, mash and peas

  1. That is an awesome menu!!! I’m on a major cut back diet right now. Do you have Jenny Craig there? It’s a diet plan where you eat only their food. That’s what I’m doing now until I get this extra weight off.
