Meal Plan Friday 23rd March 2018

I have not really got my head round the fact that Easter is next weekend and that means the children are off school from Thursday pm.

 We are doing really well with not wasting as much food and thinking about items to use up.

 Friday - Ravioli for the boys. Fajitas for myself and Mr MC&W

 Saturday - Fish and Chips for the boys. Lamb burgers for Mr MC&W, using up some beetroot I had from the roast chicken last week

 Herby lamb burgers with beetroot mayo

 Sunday - Roast Pork for us all.

 Monday - New Potato and blue cheese salad. Macaroni cheese for the boys.

 Warm new potato salad with bacon and blue cheese

Tuesday - Chicken Curry for us all and yes I will be using a jar of sauce

 Wednesday - Soup and bread as a change, thinking a lovely vegetable one from covent garden. tomato soup for the boys.

 Thursday - Pie, Mash and green beans -  it has been a long time since we have had pie. Again this will not be made by me as time is not on our side this week. I will be trying the boys on a simple homemade chicken and ham pie with some left over puff pastry from the weekend.

      It was simple cooked beetroot (not vinegar ones) mixed with mayo and it was amazing

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...

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...

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...
