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

Mint is trying to take over the garden

I  am trying to tidy the garden up. We are a bit tight for money this month and I want to plant lots of bulbs. Instead I am tidying and keeping busy, let's be honest the garden is a weed haven and a total mess so I have a lot to do. Clearing this border however I have made a very important discovery. That mint is trying to take over the world, one border at a time. Two years ago I planted out a very sad and mainly dead supermarket mint plant. I did not think it was going to survive or the consequences of my naive action. It did survive and it did grow and grow. I then cleared the border down that year and the next it came back stronger. This year it was at its finest. Now admittedly I did just let it grow. The children loved the smell as did I. They were picking it, making mud pies with it, it was a source of fun. Then the flowers came out and the bees and pollinators were in heaven the whole border was alive, I had to keep it. I have now dug it u...

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...

VBAC when a Uterus Ruptures

It took me some time to decide if I should write this post, but my overwhelming feeling is I need to share what happened to me. I hope that I can raise awareness of VBAC and the very rare chance of a uterus rupturing. I have had three children the first OEP was born via section at 42 weeks due to a missed breach, infact I never went into labour. ATM was successfully naturally delivered as they say by VBAC. Then we had ZAP...... I happily opted for VBAC the second time, I have two children and the last thing I needed was a section meaning I could not drive or lift for 6 weeks. I was told I was classed as high risk, in fact it was written on all my notes  and would be carefully monitored at all times during labour. So two weeks before my due date I woke in the middle of the night feeling rough and was violently ill. I could not get back to sleep due to the most terrible pain in my right hand side and back. I thought the pain in my side was from being so violently ill that I had pu...
