    Thanks joesave - I've been a lurker for a while and only recently started to post more as well :-)

    The spreadsheet you've prepared is a great help and I for one will be giving it its first use this weekend. Much appreciated!

    Hi, I just tried and it still works for me. Is it when you try to access the link above, when you physically try and download the spreadsheet, or when you try to open the spreadsheet?

    Perhaps squeaky can help?

    I downloaded the file from squeaky's page and it's excellent, thankyou, will help me no end in my new menu planning! :)

    Is it possible for me to twaek some of the recipes to add/replace some of the ingredients so I can follow the recipes I've got already (I'm a crap cook so need to follow recipes exactly!) and will it still work with the shopping list thing?

    This is fantastic!

    Is there anyway it could be adapted to include 3 meals + 'extras' - and therefore generate a full shopping list? Sorry to be cheeky and ask this! I guess I could just save it and have a play around....

    I was thinking about this. Next time I have some free time I'll have a look.

    Chumana, if you go to the recipes sheet you'll see column A is green this is the name of the recipe that will be shown in the Meal Planner. You can add new recipes to the end of the list. Add ingredients (up to 10), one in each cell adjacent to the recipe name. Alternately you can change the ingredients of the existing recipes here. In column Q (Blue column) is the accompaniments list. Add new items to the end of this list (or change whats there) and these will show up in the "veggies" drop downs in the planner.

    Hope this helps

    Annie-c,
    don't know if you seen the "Shopping List" sheet. This is a full shopping list with "extras". If you put an x in the box to the left of the item, the item is highlighted.
    Hope this helps
