Bank Holiday week menu plan: w/c 23/5/08
I have not posted for ages! working 30 hours a week and doing all the household chores does not leave any time for blogging!! I have nearly completed my contract with the agency and have secured another one due to commence on june 6th and its only 2 days a week!!!!!! So the good news is that I will have more time for blogging and more me time, which I have missed over the past four months!
I have just completed this week’s menu plan, its a Bank holiday on Monday, here in the UK and me and ds2 are both off now for the next ten days, so I have decided I must get back on track!
Friday: cod & chips (made in actifry)
sat: Nigella’s pork chops with gnocci and wholegrain mustard
sun: roast chicken dinner
Bank holiday monday: Nigella’s pancakes
lunch home made chicken soup
tea: chicken kebabs
Tuesday: longtail scampi, wedges and beans
wed : ham salad with boiled pots
thursday: ?? maybe takeaway.
It’s the Eurovision Song contest on saturday evening and ds2 loves it, he has asked for special snacks for a euro party!! OMG I hate euro yawn! I will just have to grin and bear it!! oh going to work, he has the right idea!! lol!

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!

HI, nice to see you back again!
I quite enjoy watching Eurovision myself - entertaining for the wrong reasons - but I don’t bother with the judging.
Hi Jane,
I have found my camera, so hopefully will be able to post some photos!
will pop on you later xx
