Meal Plan Friday 10th April 2020


Well another week of self isolation for us. We are happy school has been out but I am not looking forward to returning to home education.

I have found meal planning so hard this week, nothing has appealed.

Last week's meal plan went well and we enjoyed all our new meals we tried.


Friday - Comfort food that is scampi, chips and peas for us. The boys will have pizza.

Saturday - Chinese Chicken Curry is always popular. I put pineapple on our eldest pizza as he adores it and to use it up may pop some in our curry (trying to make sure we use everything up).


Sunday - We have an amazing local farm shops round where we live. I called them and they delivered half a leg of lamb and a selection of cheese. I managed to get some bubbles in the shop so we should have a lovely meal.

Monday - Chicken burgers and curly fries

Tuesday - Salmon we have some potatoes so thinking some kind of small roasties and beetroot and green veggies with it. we shall see. The boys will have salmon, mash and broccoli

something like this 



Wednesday - Leftover lamb curry for Mr MC&W and I with some veggies to make it go further. The boys will have a quorn curry.


Thursday - I found a halloumi and bacon hash in a pinch of nom and thought it would make a lovely light dinner. Again using up the potatoes. The boys will have mini roasts, bacon and egg hash

    Meal planning is getting harder, I am struggling with it too. We have Scampi this week, it is one of my favourite meals. I hope you enjoyed your lamb yesterday. x

    Ooh halloumi & bacon hash sounds lovely. It's great that you have a local farm shop. I'm managing to keep the cupboards and fridge full, but we're not getting much veg at the moment. I need to stock up.

    I'm struggling with meal planning at the minute, the kids are fussy at the best of times and I just can't be bothered to have a battle with them at the minute!

    Your meal plan sounds yummy

Planting LolliPop Trees Elaeagnus ebbingei

I can not believe the day had finally arrived, the trees we had put so much thought into were going to be planted. We had the conifer and last shrubs removed and the whole area dug over and ready for the arrival of the LolliPop Trees Elaeagnus ebbingei. Finding Elaeagnus Ebbingei Area cleared and ready for the trees I was on the school run when they arrived. I walked round into the back garden to see five of the most beautiful trees in huge pots ready to be planted. Mr MC&W had chatted to the team that the trees need to be the same height despite there being a slight slope. Elaeagnus ebbingei all ready to be planted It was great to see the tape measure out checking the spacing between each one, as this was such a crucial part of the design. I can not believe how fast they got the first tree in and how polite they were when we suddenly realised it was overhanging the neighbours' boundary. They brought it forward no questions. First Elaeag...

Pleached Trees - Higher Privacy Solution

As you are aware we have had the new fence put in and are trying to find some ways to gain some privacy back, the new garden fence . Today I took the boys on a trip to one of my favourite places to look at trees and plants. English Woodlands located at Cross in Hand, East Sussex. We brought our laurel plants from them about 4 years ago, they were extremely good plants healthy, strong and have since flourished. As a nursery, they helped us choose what we needed and even told us to buy smaller ones as they would grow so fast, saving us money. I have been looking online and wondered if pleached trees maybe an answer to our height issue. What they should do is bring height to the fence but still allow light in. Now these are by no means a cheap and as always I am not sure if Mr MC&W is going to like them. So what is a pleached tree you ask?, to be honest, I only found out when frantically on google looking for  solutions for the new fence. A pleached tree is where som...

Did you have a good day?

I decided to write this post as a Mummy of a little boy who is on the Autism Spectrum  and has very limited speech and understanding, I wanted to give a glimpse into our world. He had been for a school trip to a small local airport and this is the story of collection and journey home.... As I walked through the door I almost heard the sigh of relief from the teachers, "Mummy is here" was said in that slightly high pitched tone mixing happy and stress all at the same time. OB runs towards me shouting Mummy then collapsed on the floor just by my feet telling me "I want yo see  animals and go to Legoland". OK I think to myself here we go, I bent down to his level and said in that slight high pitched fake happy tone that it was time to get into Mummy's car, but he was getting distressed the word Lego was being said repeatedly. I noted he did not have his Lego (Lego goes everywhere with him) I enquired about said Lego, luckily it was quickly found, this seemed to...
