menu plan..

In between cooking some delicious chutneys & Jams I've spent the morning rooting through my freezers & cupboards so I can get an idea of what my meal plans for the next week or so is going to be, well I was pleasantly surprised cos I have managed to get 21 days worth of meals!! this is going to save us a few quid, obviously I will still need to buy all the fresh Fruit, veg and milk plus bits for Jacks lunch at school, although I only buy him yoghurt and juice cos biscuits, cakes and bread are all home made... I have tons of cleaning products, toiletries and loo rolls too, so I am giving myself a budget of £13 per week... Eeeeek!
