DC's are at school until Weds lunchtime and DH will be working away for four days during this time. The in-laws are coming at the weekend and stay untill Tues, but they will be staying in a hotel so I don't need to count them in for breakfast. Just as well as they like a full English everyday.

So, I think I need to meal plan and then it'll be just about do-able. The IL's usually offer to pay for a take-away for one night, so I'm assuming that's what they'll do this time.

IL's like a 'proper' meal in the evening, but will be happy with sandwiches/salads for lunch.

I'm a bit overwhelmed, so could do with any help or suggestions, please.

What about sausages with puy lentils? Less fuss than toad in the hole, and you can do extra lentils for a salad the following day: add in some feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, rocket or watercress and some roast butternut squash. Do a whole squash while you're at it and save 3/4 for the following day to make a risotto (add it in at the last minute, garnish with fried sage leaves and parmesan).
