Well the first full week at school is over and I am one exhausted Mum/teacher/TA/blogger. If you haven't seen it yet, I have put together some top tips to make our mornings run smoothly. Meal planning has become essential, not for saving money, but for knowing what we are eating! This week I have changed it slightly as our main shop is coming today.

Thursday, reality will hit when we go and visit secondary schools. I can't believe that my eldest baby is in year 6 and off to secondary next year. As the other two will need to come too, it is a quick sandwich before heading down to what I am imagining to be an utterly packed school to have a look around. Wish me luck!



Sunday: Garlic, lemon and chili prawns. One of my all time favourite meals.



Monday: Chicken fajitas as the boys need a quick dinner before their karate class.

Tuesday: Garlic pork in black bean sauce.


Wednesday: Spaghetti carbonara

Thursday: A quick sandwich as it is secondary school open day.

Friday: Sweet and sour chicken

Saturday: Freezer surprise! I have a few meals in here that we could have depending how we feel.

What is on your meal plan this week?
