Menu plan w/c 3/2/08- jobs to do and declutter list!!
I start my new job this tomorrow, so very excited. I will be starting on three days,( Mon, Tues, wed) and after working 5 days a week for the past year, this sounds good to me! I have not had much time to sort stuff out at home and I now have a big ‘to do list’. These are some of the jobs I will be tackling on my days off, from next week
1. get quote from a decorator to emulsion downstairs rooms.
2. do charity bags for clothes in our wardrobes that we no longer need
3. file and shred a hug pile of letters and bills!
4. begin to sort out loft, make up Charity bags for old books, toys etc.
5. get quote from someone to lay new or existing pavements on front drive.
6. Look for new flooring for bathroom ( old floor raised and cracked after a leak!)
7. buy new fire grate and fire guard
8. bake from scratch as much as possible- make own cakes, pasta and bread on days off
This is going to take some organising, but hopefully I will of compelted all jobs April! ( well. we can dream can’t we??)
In the meantine, I have just completed this weeks menu plan:
Sunday lunch : Tuna mayo sandwiches with cucumber and salad. (make extra for work lunch, don’t think they have a canteen)
Monday: steak, oven chips and salad ( work day)
Tuesday:Nigella’s mustard pork chops with gnocchi and mixed veg. (work day)
Wednesday: ham and egg salad with new potatoes ( work day)
Thursday:home made slow cook chili, with brown rice and garlic bread and salad
Friday: Omega 3 fish fingers, home made mash and baked beans
Saturday:chicken Peri Peri with brown rice and sweetcorn

About me:
welcome to my penny pinching pantry :)
This is my favourite selection of frugal, old fashioned recipes. please feel free to comment and add to them. I am a huge Nigella Lawson fan and there are loads of her recipes featured here, mostly they are from her latest series, Nigella Express.
I live and work in North Yorkshire. I am married and have two boys, (11 & 23) and a fab black labrador, who is the total baby of the family!

Well you’re going to be busy! I might just nick your meal plans if that’s ok?
My friend told me that Tesco are cracking down on the sharing of codes, are you aware of that at all?
Hi Jane, I haven’t been able to get a tesco code for about 2 weeks now! Most disappointed, looks like I might have to add going to the shops to my list!
Hmmm, good idea. I ought to make a similar list.
