I hate doing packed lunches with a passion and am dreading doing them daily when the DCs return to school!
My DC's have had a few days at holiday club over the past three weeks, and I've had to do their lunches for that. They have been complaining (albeit nicely ) about them having a "healthy" lunch, because their HC friends have nicer (so read more sugary) stuff in theirs.
So, I'll tell you the contents and you can tell me if I'm boring;
Sandwich of choice, usually tuna or egg mayo, or cheese w/ tomato or cucumber.
Veg pot - carrot, cucumber, tomatoes.
Piece of fruit, sometimes two.
Squeezy yoghurt of some kind.
A treat type item, either crisps, a club-type of biscuit, mini Soreen loaf.
To me that seems like a perfectly normal packed lunch, mainly healthy but with a bit of fun stuff. We are not a mega healthy household in that they get sweet stuff more often than I'd really like. They certainly aren't deprived of anything. This type of packed lunch is what they'll be getting daily when they return to school, but I can already envisage the complaints I'm going to get, argh!
