Hi MessedUp - I'm the same.... I've found that if I have the LO meal a day later, rather than the next day it doesn't get so boring and / or I put one in the freezer now & then so it'll do a night when I can't be bothered to cook!:oGrocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)

Weds - Sausage, egg & chips
Thurs - Turkey breast in breadcrumbs with new pots & veg

I struggle with a Fri night as I can never really be bothered to cook as it's the end of the week and for years (but a long time ago) it was always take-a-way night ... (gave into a pizza this week) ..... mmmm
