Are you near an ASDA? I bought a wide necked flask to take food to hospital for my mum. It was either £2.25 or £3.25, I can't remember which.I have the mind of a criminal genius. I keep it in the freezer next to Mother....0 -

My son loves veggies wraps. What I tend to do is make up a nice mayo e.g. Lemon mayo, roasted garlic mayo, mustard mayo.
Slice up a loads of veg like lettuce, cucumber, peppers, spring onion amd grated carrot. spread the mayo onto the wrap, top with the salad and roll it up.
Also goes really well with homemade houmous or bean dip."A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain." Mark Twain0 -

I'm not recommending that Ebayer in partic, lots of places sell them. I got one for dh from Ebay, about 6 quid, and it's been used to death but like new still. Keeps stuff warm well and you only need to stick it in the microwave for a coupla minutes before you got to work. And jacket spuds fit in it too!
He got fed up to back teeth with sarnies!

YUMMY!!!!
I'm fed up of my mini garlic naan breads and tuna!
I've bought tomato tortillas and some couscous, so I'm going to enjoy my lunches this week! Might help stop me buying other sarnies and junk!

bad girl I gave into the vending machine yesterday as the mars bar had my name of it............... bad I know. Last of the cous cous today, haven't managed to get a food flask yet so wondering what I'll make tonight for the next few days thinking a wrap but using the piadine recipe on the main board rather than buying wraps.

I got one of these for my DS1 from Wilkos, £3.99. He loves it and it's easy and safe for children to use (as long as the food inside isn't too hot, obviously)That's Numberwang!0
