Busy mum creates genius meal planning board using lollipop sticks to banish any dinner time dilemmas – The Sun

A GENIUS mum has come up with a way of avoiding the dilemma of not knowing what to eat for dinner.

Lou Kirsty Yeoman has created her own special menu board and made a box of all her favourite meals written on lollipop sticks.

Each week, Lou picks out seven sticks at random and clips them to the board next to the corresponding day.

Her only rule is that she has to stick to which meal she randomly selects.

Some of the meals on her lolly sticks are chicken orzo, crispy chilli beef, fajita, pasta bake, rogan josh, nachos, spag bol and campfire stew.

The mum-of-two shared pictures of her incredible creation on the Organise my UK home Facebook group, and said: “This has made life so much easier.

“No thinking what to make every day pick a stick and that’s what we are having.”

Lou said she has spotted a similar menu board on a Slimming World group, and decided to try it out for herself.

The mum runs her own business printing vinyl stickers, so was easily able to print out the days of the week in gold lettering.

She then added them to a black board, and added screws and strong to hang it on the wall, and stuck clips next to each day to add the lolly sticks.

Lou then sat down to brainstorm all of the meals that she knows her family enjoys.

Many people were highly impressed with her menu board, with one saying: “I’m planning to do something like this for jobs around the house for the kids.

"Never thought of doing one for meals too.”

And another added: “That’s a great idea.”

We shared how a thrifty mum created an incredible playhouse under the stairs for her daughter using bargain items from B&Q for under £100.

And another mum reveals how she feeds her family for only 97p a head.
