Dd1 (12) was off on a fun school trip today with a mix of kids from high school.

I suggested a few things for her packed lunch this morning and she went off happily with a peanut butter sandwich, a fruitus bar, a kitkat, some dried apricots, a tub of home-made muesli and a bag of chipsticks.

The tuff kids laughed at her lunch - snorting particularly loudly at the apricots - and called it gay.

I feel like the mum in About A Boy.

PMSL at Solidgold. But pepperamis are quite thin, surely a cucumber would be more girthy. I remember labelling alot of stuff at school as "gay" when I was younger, when it clearly wasn't literally "gay" it was just seen as amusing.
A non gay/flamboyant/festive packed lunch would be a sausage roll, a packet of doritos and a fruit shoot surely?

there are plenty of mumsnetters who remain calm on threads...infact most do really...there's only a few hardcore "you tak such shite" posters around....thankfully.

but all respect to you LG...you obviously have it all sorted...that's why you're not threatened by anonymous opinions.

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
