Big pot of chilli con carne, bulked up with kidney beans and veg.

Serve with rice and cheese, and leftovers are great in wraps.


Tray bake of sausages or chicken thighs, chopped potatoes, onions and tomatoes. Bake it all in the same tray drizzled with some olive oil.


Breakfast for dinner is always fun, eggs, beans, toast, bacon etc.


Fish fingers and homemade potato wedges.


If all else fails, pop some frozen pizzas in the oven.

My teenage grandson loves Thai Green Curry - made with chicken. He makes this himself and does enough for 2 days. When his Mum had to go away for a couple of nights- he made a big chicken curry and invited all his friends round to watch the Euros. Not bad for a 17 year old.
Huge quantities of milk, toast, butter, baked beans (baked beans on toast that they can help themselves to). Batch cooking of chilli con carne, spaghetti bolognese etc (can make in advance and freeze). Lots of fruit and veg to snack on. Jacket potatoes with assorted fillings

Thank you all for your suggestions, it?s day 2 and so far they?ve gone through:


Jacket potatoes with tuna and sweet corn and baked beans and salad

Chilli con carne and rice

A whole roast chicken, shredded and made into a salad with avocado, lettuce, broccoli and green beans

A million slices of toast

A whole 750g tub of Nutella

Enough milk to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool

Peach crumble where I used up 5 tins of peaches

A family sized punnet of grapes

Endless sandwiches

A massive packet of biscuits


Tomorrow we are opening the weetabix. I optimistically bought 3 packets thinking it would last the week, but seeing how things are I expect it to last 1 breakfast.


I?ve no idea how they do it, and they are as skinny as rales.

Yes, just typical teenagers :) Thanks for the update Roundtable.

Fajita kits are also good as they can make this themselves quite easily, I would suggest 2 packs and more chicken, peppers and onions than it says on the packets.Wraps are useful to stuff salad and any leftovers in for lunch the following day.

I’m sure we will all agree that it’s great Southwark is listening to businesses. “This request came from the businesses on Lordship Lane, informing Highways that they have large vehicles coming to collect and deliver goods from the business which causing an obstruction as vehicles are parked both sides of the entrance and opposite resulting into the vehicle having to block the whole road and cause obstruction.” “Officers attended site and met with the local business to discuss what would be the best solution to allowing the large vehicles to drop off and collect without obstructing and blocking the road off. As a result, it was agreed that double yellow lines will allow space for loading/unloading without obstructing the road.”   a Officers attended site and met with the local business to discuss That isn’t true, so long as the driver is actually loading (ie not shopping nearby).
    • Thanks very much, that's really interesting. I feel better about the shredded paper not being recycled now! And even better that I can get it out of the house and into the green bin! I will save a bit for future composting though  (and homemade seed paper, thanks Peckhamgatecrasher) x
