Our Family Meal Plan for this week 24/11/2013 - £46

I had a busy week last week, too busy which meant that I was unexpectedly really poorly this weekend.  This week will be much quieter and I am determined to manage things better and not take as much on so I avoid the run down feeling and tiredness that has plaqued me for weeks.  Easier said than done but I will try my best.

Lunches for the kids will be school dinners to give me a rest and a break, my daughters will probably moan but they appreciated packed lunches more if they have school dinners once in a while.  Grown-ups lunches will be Root Vegetable Soup and Tomato Soup from the freezer defrosted as and when we need it.

Breakfasts will be porridge with homemade fruit compote.  I will bake some treats for after school snacks and morning teas.
