Yeah, my mum always made mince n mash, I think it is a failsafe for kids, which is why my four now get fed it.....nice n cheap too:p It is also an opportunity to get a load of veggies in us all, I have actually made a huuuuuge vat of the stuff so we will be having it twice this week:rolleyes:

Right a slight change to todays meal plan...

I had no decent looking spuds so had my beans at lunch with cous cous.

I only ended up using half the jar of white sauce on the lasagne so have amended syns to account for that, I also stuck with my yummy slice of garlic bread.

I have not long had a nice bowl of fruit salad (that I didn't have at lunch time, because I was too full) and I am hoping that will see me through till bedtime....

I did however nab two m&m's, two malteasers and a cookie, I know the cookie is 3 syns, and probably 1 syn for the choccies....So that takes my Syn total to 21 for today.
