    I got the bag from a gift shop in our village. It cost £3/4 and they had lots of other designs.

    Over a month since the last post. How's the bento boxes going?
    I found a great tutorial on making a bento bag from an old pillowcase. I'm thinking I might actually dust off the sewing machine and have a go :D

    Hi all, I've just bought a couple of these http://www.builtny.com/bags-lunch/gourmet-getaway-lunch-tote.html but cheaper from ebay :D.

    I also got some lock and lock boxes from Waitrose the other day as they were 'reduced' in price, seemed rude not to.

    Made DD2 her little baglet up and she was really pleased, I did sandwich, leftover pad thai, chopped fruit and some cake, she and her friends loved it.

    I also have one of these from boots and they are perfect for packing all my boxes into and a drink.the-little-green-lunch-bag.jpg
