Our Weekly Meal Plan!! - #mealplanningmonday

Last week our meal plan went to plan....We ate everything. The pizza hot dogs went down really well and the girls want them again which is a good sign! Stu cooked the Sunday dinner yesterday and it was lovely....I always enjoy food more when someone else makes it....

Becky is getting her braces tightened today so soft food is needed for a couple of days while her mouth is still sore and Stu is off work this week on holiday from work....Hooray which means he will be helping with the cooking.... 

This week on the menu we have:

Monday - Corned Beef hash & Baked beans....

Tuesday - Easy chilli con carne and rice....

Wednesday - Sausage & tomato pasta....

Thursday - Fish cakes, curly fries and baked beans....

Friday - Pizza....

Saturday - Chicken curry leftovers out of the freezer and chips....

Sunday - Toad in the hole, mash and veg....

What are you eating this week?

A snowy school run. #MySundayPhoto

On Friday morning I expected to wake to a decent amount of snow.....Nope, not here where I live. This was it. By 9am it was all slushy and by about 11am it had all gone. Hmmf! No snowmen for us.

A photo everyday for a year! #Project365 - Week 2

This past week wasn't the best week for us...We've had sickness, burns, sore throats and sore arms. We're all feeling a lot better now though!

This week has been one big pain! #WotW

This week my Word of the week is....

There has been a lot of pain this week in my house.... Thankfully most of it was short lived and over quickly.....

It started at the weekend....This is probably too much information but hey ho....lol I had period pain. I don't usually get periods because of my Contraceptive implant but it needed changing (I will come to that) and I decided the only thing to ease the pain would be a hot water bottle on my belly.....I filled it and put it on my belly. Lovely. After a couple of hours it had cooled and I got up to refill it and go to the loo.....I felt something gooey. I had been burned. The hot water bottle had burned me. It hadn't leaked or split it was just too hot even though it didn't feel it.....There was one burn bigger than a two pence piece and a couple of smaller one's....Ugh! It has been sore. I've been keeping it clean and dry and it's been a great excuse to stay in my PJ's because wearing jeans just hurts and rubs on the burns.....

A pain in my bum this week has been Tesco.....I blogged about my parcel going missing....I thought it was all sorted. Tesco had given me £5 as an apology but they just keep giving.....I ordered a mouse and they decided to refund me the money for that too? I didn't ask for a refund or want one. The mouse works fine.....I messaged them to find out what was going on and it turns out someone had mistakenly hit a button somewhere....They are kindly letting me keep the £6 and the mouse....What a palaver! 

On Monday Ellie came home from school really chuffed with herself....She had cookery at school and had made spaghetti bolognese. It looked and smelled lovely. She ate it not long after she got in from school and by about 5pm she was complaining of a sore head and that she felt sick.....She had a sleep on the sofa, woke up and was sick! Oh joy! I'm trying not to blame the spaghetti bolognese but when she had been sick she perked up a little. She was sick a few more times and was up and down all night wanting cuddles and complaining of a sore belly.....She had a day off school & it took her until Tuesday afternoon to get back to her normal self.....

On Wendesday I went off to the hospital to get my contraceptive implant changed.....Last time I had it replaced they took the old one out & put the new one in it's place now the policy has changed and it has to be put in the other arm or so the lady thought telling me this....When she came to take the old one out it turns out they've changed the rules about where it's placed too so it meant I could have it in the same arm but just further round.....Phew! I was not looking forward to having two sore arms....Getting it changed was mostly painless.....I nearly cried when she put the general anesthetic in....lol In my defence I am terrified of needles....When the anesthetic wore off it was sore....It still is now but I'm sure it will feel better soon.....I think a few days of pain is totally worth it....I get no periods hardly and there will be no babies from me for the next 3 years.....hehehe

Becky hasn't being left out of being in pain this week either.....She is coming down with a cold and has a sore throat....Bless her. The only one this week not in pain is Stu....lol He had his share of pain last week with his shoulder but it seems better now. Phew!

What a week! I am hoping for no more pain for a while!
