    Afternoon Tilly,

    I'm inspired, this week my challenge is to crack down and organise my grocery shop with meal planning. It won't be as organised as yours but you've shown me how to start... and I'm kind of excited about this. I'm looking forward to saving money, tasty homemade meals and being organised. Thanks again!!!

    Off to see if I can do any TT's :)

    Thank you so much for the spreadsheet.

    I was out in the garden all yesterday as I wanted to make the most of the nice weather while it lasts. So I am going to sit down tonight, do a fridge, freezer and cupboard inventory and a meal plan.

    My aim is to make sure everything is eaten or frozen before its used by date. I am fed up of throwing food away just because Im unorganised. The spreadsheet is really helpful

    Thank you
    Good luck, Tilly x x

    I read all the threads and follow far too many but Tilly gets mentioned in so many of them ;-)

    Would I be able to get a copy of this spreadsheet for meal planning as I am rubbish and although I have tried different things but nothing seems to stick for me.

    I need a fresh start pretty please x

    Hi Tilly you're a star! Just to report shopping arrived bang on 5 so I've batched cooked for the first time in my life I might add: bolognase x 4, Thai coconut chicken x 2, chicken korma x 2 and a big bag of potatoes that I'm experimenting with (jackets, roast and boiled (ready to roast). I've got a punnet of mushrooms left and some korma left which I will have to think of something. Might freeze the sauce. All this with some assistance from my little kitten. She likes to help :)

    Many thanks for your advice!

    Off to have a nice relaxing bath now.

    Hope you had a lovely day x
