How can I find time to make these super-arty lunches

lil_me

Triker you are naughty, I can't decide if I want a Thomas one or Sponge Bob.....for me....hmmm I wouldn't have even looked if you haddn't mentioned it.. :rotfl: Oh no, there is a pooh one with ears, I have to have one!

Our Coop had Lock&Lock cheaply last week, unsure if it's more general or just our store.

Those pot things and the cases, sure I seen some in Dunelm but I can't find them on the website, put bento in you get beds which is odd.

Arkonite your lunches look yumm!

Thanks lil_me!
I do try but to be honest, there's lots of other bento=ers out there who put me to shame. I just pack what I like the sound of with maybe one or two cutesy touches now and again

i read this thread on saturday whilst at work and im inspired!!!

I have been very poorly the last few months and lost my appetite and a ton of weight. Im also shattered when i make it home from work so am eating rubbish when i get home! so decided that healthy lunches it needs to be! just been out and bought lots of little healthy snacky veggies and we shall see how we go. Im a vegetarian that can be quite healthy but not always! I had never really thought of eating lots of little things in one lunch instead of the obvious and im bored of sandwiches!

so thanks for the inspiration!

tinksy, you might like to go and read this blog for ideas then if you're vegetarian
Disposable Aardvarks
It's a vegan blog, but would let you see what can be achieved even on a restricted or specialist diet
Let me know how you get on

AB am so sorry have not beenon here in the past few months and been in touch with you but i have been ill and ended up in hosp having an operation and whilst i was recovering my dad was having tests done and he also ended up in hosp having an op so past few months have been hell....
all on the road to being well so now i really need to get back into bentoing for dd lunches,

bit of info for those that are new to this, my dd stayed with my bruv and sil whilst i was in hosp and she had the ''usual'' packed lunch similar to what i used to make pre bento and she said she was coming home from school starving whereas when she took her bento she wasnt, so it shows that bentos are so filling and most of the time healthier...
hope everyone is well and happy bentoing xx

arkonite_babe

Thank you for voting slash, though it does look like I'm in last place

Don't feel guilty about not making bento. I dip in and out at times, we are not all super arty mummies who make fabby charaben every day!

Mostly this month my bento have been left overs that I'm using up in the freezer and so I haven't posted them on the blog. I don't think I can do anything to "pretty" them up!

Just bento what you can when you can Come over for a natter when you like, I get an email when someone comments on the blog, so I'll know if you've been for a visit
