I have £50.00 to last me two weeks after just paying off a horrific bill that swallowed all of my wages and half of my overdraft Sad Fortunately my regular household bills have all been paid at the beginning of the month, so I think I should be okay. Have just spent over an hour on the Tesco website meal planning for the next two weeks and working out what my shopping will cost/what I can use up in the cupboards. Tesco vouchers to the rescue just in the nick of time!

S - chicken and mushroom stroganoff with rice.
M - pizza, spicy wedges and garlic bread.
T - spaghetti bolognese.
W - garlic and herb chicken with chips, carrots and broccoli.
T - macaroni cheese with carrots and peas.
F - sweet and sour chicken with rice.
S - shepherds pie.
S - chicken hotpot.
M - tomato and herb pasta bake.
T - out for a meal for a family birthday.
W - chilli and rice for me/fish fingers, chips and veg for 7yo dd.
T - hunters chicken with rice and veg.
F - butternut squash and sage risotto with carrots, broccoli and peas.
S - baked potatoes.
S - Spanish chicken with rice, peas and sweetcorn.

Shopping list for this week plus a top up shop next week should come to around £21.00 - that's by using all vouchers and plundering the cupboards and freezer and stripping them all bare. I have enough of everything else to last me and the animals are always kept well stocked. Phew.

I feel like I need a nap now! Grin
