Packed lunch getting nicked
Comments

Delain, I understand. I was the same. Didn't have the best diet growing up (plenty of crisps, chocolate and fizzy drinks, as well as unhealthy meals of burgers etc etc), and I am finding it soooooooo hard to stop drinking diet coke, for one, and not shovel crisps into my mouth every day for another.
I've also found that friends who were brought up with much healthier diets, tend to eat healthily as adults and don't crave the junk as much as I do. Most Dutch people I know eat healthily too, and the whole table stared at me when I started tucking into a packet of crisps at lunch on my first day! haha. I was told by all that crisps are NOT a lunch item!February wins: Theatre tickets0 -

why wasnt there a sandwhich for the boys lunch?
deffo go in and speak to school, the lunches could be placed in a storecupboard maybe, also cooler that left in the classroom with the sun shining in
back when my sons were small, they are 16 now, sweets or chocolate was sometimes given on way home, as a treat, not in the middle of the day, when they needed to concentrate on their school work
Maybe if banks didnt store money on the premises there would be no temptation for bank robbers!!!!!!0 -

I'm not surprised, her lunch is much more reasonable and wholesome than JUST a bag of crisps and a bar of choclate and you know it is. No-one is dictating merely offering opinions in an open forum. Would yoou send your DD with just a bag of crisps and chocolate and no sandwich? It's you who needs to get off her high horse.0 -

She said that she forgot to put the sandwich in, it was probably sat on the kitchen worktop.

Erm; the OP has been TOTALLY SLATED over the contents of her child's lunchbox when she came on here about her son's lunch being nicked... People think they are too damn righteous sometimes and it bugs the hell out of me... and no, why should I get off my high horse when nearly every subject on lunch boxes results in the same food bashing; same old drivel peddled out time and time again. Who the hell do people think they are to judge somebody by what they give THEIR child for lunch? People never cease to amaze me and should learn to stick to the topic of discussion rather than turn it into an OP bashing thread.0 -
