    I did start to meal plan a while ago, & found it saved me an incredible amount of money due to me not spending as much at the Supermarket. I'm not sure why I strayed, but thanks to all the good ideas & inspiration will make an extra effort to start again. :D Will do mine for the week ahead tomorrow/later.
    Now thanks to Tommix & Queen Bear, now Lady Westy of Woodpecker :)

    When is the new thread? Haven't seen mention of one yet? Is it because of the Christmas Madness and us all eating Turkey? :D:D
