    Thanks Zippychick

    The links I tried were on the mega thread under Packed Lunches (there was only about 6 or so links) I clicked on 2 of them and it opened a new window and I it said the page was no longer available :(

    But I am not so good at searching so I may have bee doing something wrong.

    Right of to have a look at these links.

    Easy extra protein - cold cooked chopped up sausages - I'd suggest a sausage/ham, pasta, cucumber type salad mix, but that may be just not cool enough for school! Cheese cubes with cheesy biscuits as well as a sandwich. Flapjack?

    My daughter has packed lunch and loves wraps, tuna pasta, sausage rolls, cheese and crackers, breadsticks etc.
    How about a piece of fruit or snack in the school bag for eating on the way home, i find this helps keep me away from the corner shop too!
    My son is on hot dinners but has a huge appetite and is not impressed with the portion sizes in school:rotfl:maybe mine are too big but he is a healthy active 9 year old with a slim frame, i'm sure i'll have to start controlling his portions when he gets older and less active!

    I hear you, Kit, fussy eater on packed lunches here too :wave:

    Take a fajita, cover with Prima Ham-flavoured cheese, top with wafer-thin slices of ham, roll up, wrap in cling film

    DS and I are both loving the Nestle toy story chocolate cakes with yoghurt filling, they are tiny and melt in the mouth :EasterBun

    I buy Dairylea dunkers in bulk when they are on offer from Tesco ie fairly often.
    Keep calm and carry on

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions

    Got some good ideas so hopefully next week they wont be hungry when they get home from school and will report back with what worked and what didn't.

    My ds asked for a flask like some of his friends. It means he can have warm soup or pasta as a change from sandwiches. I sometimes put beans and sausages in as well.
