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.

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
