Last weeks meal plan went well. I did end up swapping a couple of meals around because when do I ever stick to the plan exactly as written but the important thing is everything was eaten and that always feels like a win in my book!
This is going to be a busy but exciting week, my baby turns 18 on Friday! Eighteen!! Time really does fly when you are having fun and can you believe this is the last full week of the summer holidays! Ellie returns to college next week. We were there last week picking up her GCSE results, the English one that she had to resit and she will have to resit it again as she didn't get the pass. Ugh! I keep reminding myself and her that it’s not the end of the world. Last year wasn’t the easiest for her with everything going on personally but things are much more settled now. She’s in such a better place emotionally and that makes a huge difference. I know she’ll get there eventually and if nothing else I heard the government are on about scrapping the resits so they can't mean that much. lol
College on Thursday was crazy!! I've never seen so many people there, all the new starters were enrolling and most with their parents. The teachers looked frazzled and the new students looked terrified. Ellie and I were seemed like the most relaxed people there, just picking up the envelope with her results. We did stop for a chat with the head of Engineering and what a lovely guy! I can see why Ellie speaks so highly of him, he just came across as genuinely kind, approachable and passionate about what he does! I also met Ellie's wellbeing coach who I've spoken to plenty of times on the phone but she’s even lovelier face to face. You can just tell when someone really cares and it makes me feel so much better knowing Ellie has that support in college. That's the thing with college life, you never really get to speak to the tutors and teachers as a parent like you did when the kids were at school so I take every chance I get, to see who is teaching my girl.
On the menu this week we have:
Monday - To be decided! I'm not too sure yet. It depends on the weather, we might have plans.
Tuesday - Gousto meal - Sticky Honey Mustard Posh Dogs With Chips.
Wednesday -Gousto meal - Sticky Sweet & Sour Pork Meatball Tray Bake. I’m quite excited about this one, we've not had it before and sounds just like a takeaway but cooked from scratch.
Thursday - Gousto meal - Carrot & Coriander Soup With Chutney Twists. A favourite of ours!
Friday - Ellie's birthday meal!!
Saturday - Gousto meal - Chicken Korma With Spinach Rice.
Sunday - A roast dinner of some sort.
What about you? Do you meal plan or do you just wing it each day depending on what you fancy? What's on your menu this week?
