I'm just about to meal plan for the next few weeks but it always gets abit samey! Goan inspire me with some of your dinner ideas please?!?

I used to meal plan weekly but found I was doing the same meals each week so moved to monthly. I buy bargains one month then use them the following month, so whatever I buy on offer in January, I'll use them in my February's meal plan.

This is what's on the list for this month (there aren't 31 as we're out some days):
Orange and mustard pork chops, mash and veg
Leek and mustard sausages, roast potatoes and veg
Hunters chicken, HM wedges and salad
Tuna pasta bake
Lamb chops, sausages, mash and peas
Gammon, egg, chips and beans
Braising steak (in slow cooker)
Mixed grill
Roast chicken with all the trimmings
Chicken cassoulet (using leftover roast chicken)
Cheese and bacon pasta bake
Pork chops with creamy apple sauce, potatoes and veg
Chicken and broccoli bake
Mediterranean pork and cous cous
Lasagne
Honey, mustard and pineapple gammon, chips and peas
Toad in the hole
Chicken fajita wraps, HM wedges and salad
Cheesy leek and spinach pasta
Pork chops Ardennes
Steak with peppercorn sauce, onion rings, HM wedges and salad
Creamy potatoes and ham
Tomato and courgette bake
Creamy oven baked chicken with garlic potatoes

Not all of these are made from scratch - some are packets or jars - but if you want any recipes, just give me a shout

Apparently your eyes can adjust whilst you're pregnant and also if you're BF. The lady today said it's very uncommon but as there is a slight chance of them changing, they allow three months after you've stopped feeding just in case.

I was told that, about eyes, by one optician, but not by another. The Consultant wasn't sure either. My blurry vision took about 6 months to go completely, I'm still feeding (almost 9 months, woohoo!) but it is back to normal.

Wow Choppy! Lots of ideas there lol. I use some packet mixes and jars too, I still class that as home made tho lol

I think I'll start to plan monthly too, or at least fortnightly so I can see whats what. My budget for groceries for the week is currently £70, but I usually don't use all of it. My plan for this year is too withdraw the £70 once a week and spend the actual cash rather than just sticking on the debit card and saving up all the change to over pay the credit card at the end of the month with.

Random question, anyone been to Alaska or Greenland? I'm still trying to persuade OH to go on holiday, and I think he has pretty much agreed. Those are two favourite picks, but I don't know anything about them.
