I mean he'll have a hummus wrap, locally reared fresh ham, a selection of grapes, local cheese and a piece of lentil wedge.

It's just that we have 2 doughnuts left and if I don't give him one, I'll eat both tomorrow - so really I'm doing it for my figure.

It's only a jam doughnut packed full of sugar and jam. What problem could that possibly cause at school Grin

He'll probably get permanently excluded!

I'd give it to him just to upset the lunch box police Grin

I wouldn't put a jam donut in dd's lunchbox because it's too much of a big sweet-treat.

However, fuck'em because school would not dictate to me what we pay for to go into dd's lunchbox.

Put a bar of chocolate in there to keep it company Wink

Just a doughnut for breakfast?

Well - it contains carbohydrates. And I'm sure the sugar rush would wear off by 9am.

I would pack both for him.

He can share with another child the one who only gets a dry pitta bread and a radish Grin

Yy to breakfast - you'll be uber-mummy for the day and if he tells anyone at school they'll look at Gwen the hand-reared ham and think he's got a marvellous imagination Wink

I hope the grapes will be cutted-up?

Next you'll be telling us you're giving him marshmallows.

My parental advice would be to eat one tonight and one tomorrow yourself. Poor boy, can't believe what you're even considering. What you need to understand is that this selfless parenting lark is relentless.

Wouldn't make it to morning in my house, anyway. (Problem solved)

I will personally volunteer to save your figure by eating both doughnuts.

What's lentil wedge? Hmm

A doughnut. In a school packed lunch? Are you MAD? Shock

Respect, sister. From what I hear about these lunchbox police types, it'd cause marginally less trouble if you packed him a hand grenade in there. What school is it, I want to be there when they find it... Smile

Just tell the teachers it's an organic doughnut. It can't be unhealthy.

Lentil wedge.
Lentils. Tomatoes, Onion, eggs, herbs. carrots, stock.

Mix it up, heat it. Lentil wedge. Actually quite tasty. Wheat free and vegetarian.

Jam doughnuts were the school lunch pudding at my school today!

Lentil Wedge sounds like the sort of thing you'd really really regret googling, like Dragon Butter.

I forgot cheese. That's probably bad as it's too fatty Grin
