Today the building work starts properly as in the professionals are starting to do their stuff. I know it will mean a few weeks of a lot of noise, but it will be so worth it. I already have a few ideas of how I want to decorate, but that will have to wait. I’ve been busy around the house, painting our dining furniture, it was looking old and tatty so I decided to paint it cream & recover the cushion pads.
A quick shot of before and after on a chair. I think they look much nicer now. Cleaner, fresher and smarter.
Meal plans for the week were done. I forgot all about meal planning Monday, probably for us it is meal planning Friday, as we shop on Saturday. We are trying to budget better when it comes to food (building work is not cheap). So minimising waste & eating less meat are our main priorities right now. This weeks meals were/are.
Monday – Leftover chicken fajitas.
Tuesday – Kedgeree – I ended up with fishfingers as I discovered I do not like smoked haddock (too salty
Wednesday – Bottom of the fridge frittata (using up all the veg hanging around)
Thursday – Cajun pork, sweet potato wedges, salad.
Friday – Fish, chips and baked beans.
I’ve not done the plans for next week, but they will include more pulses, more cheap cuts and more fish. If I lose a few lbs with the healthier eating then that will be a real bonus.
