    Well I popped out to Asda, saw my mate from work there, gave her a lift home and ended up sitting outside her house chatting for 1.5 hours! Dh was on the computer and I'd got the forum minimised so I was online all the time!

    pack!!!(after I iron it!!)

    Typical, theres me looking for a shortcut in having the LR today and it's not there, but hey ho, they all need doing eventually!!

    Can I ask a quick question to you all, Dinner money here has gone up by 15p a day, and IMHO the dinners are too small for a child with an appetite like DD. She eats all her dinner, so it's nothing to do with quality, just quantity as she is always really hungry as soon as she gets home.
    Have been thinking of lunchbox ideas based on what she likes, so far, I have..Pasta with chicken, cheese/ham/chicken/corned beef sandwiches/tomato and cheese pasta/veg salad(carrot sticks/ broccoli/ sprouts/ potato etc) as well as yoghurt, crisps, water,biscuit bar.
    Does anyone have any other ideas, she doesn't like fruit much and will only drink water/orange juice/fruit shoot/milk and she is constantly hungry!!!!!!!

    bloomin connection gone after all that...2 mins...
    got it.........

    Toochoosey re lunches how old is your DD? All 3 of my kids come in from school really hungry. One is always school lunches, one is always packed lunches and one has a mixture. Makes no odds - kids are just hungry after a day at school!
