to spend £25 on a lunchbox...

[wavesandwellies]

for dd (6)? it's a yumbox and looks amazing but £25 she already has a compartment lunchbox but it's not a yum box

Yes, that'd be foolish.

If you can afford it, why not?

Yes, and bloody stupid!

Yep. Totally fucking crazy. And I'm normally one to celebrate the pointless but pretty tat.

For a six year old... Get yourself down to Home Bargains

I've absolutely no idea what a Yumbox is or why they're special, but if you think it's significantly better than her current lunchbox and you've got £25 to spare, I don't see why not.

Just looked it up and I cant see how it's better than any other compartment lunch box.

They are shite! Doesn't fit half of what you want and it's a pain to clean and put together - I used it for a week before asking my boss to buy something more practical

Just Googled, and yes. I bet those tiny compartments are a right shitter to scrub slimy banana out of.

Unless of course, you really hate yourself, and you want to make mornings even more difficult and miserable than they all ready are- then go for it.

Can't believe a 6 year old could care less. Surely they'd rather have frozen or whatever the current in thing is for 6 year olds.

If it'll last several years then it will probably be worth the money.
That is if your dd isn't as prone to losing things after 10 minutes as my ds is

You're all very right! it is ridiculous and if someone was asking me if probably tell them the same. thank you for stopping me!!

I'd love to buy a yumbox for me I bought d's one of those systems ones instead though.

We have a yumbox! I LOVE it. It's made lunches more interesting and appealing for my children.

Do it. My DD has 2 yumboxes and has used them daily for 2 school years now. For the first year she wasn't allowed to eat until each teacher had seen it because they were amazed at what could go in it. It suits the way she eats and has saved me a fortune in uneaten school lunches (not free in wales). I fucking love them. And their customer service is excellent too.

She only takes one per day, btw. She just has an original and a panino and takes whichever suits what she's having that day best.

Ooh, and in the last few weeks of school she was making her own lunch.

What's a yum box?

Yabu unless Mr Ramsey himself comes and fills it every day included in the price.

Have a look on amazon for bento boxes, might not arrive in time for start of term but you can get lunch boxes like that much cheaper

Nm just googled it - errrm YADNBU OP!!! They are cute as fuck!

I just googled it and there's £5 off with your first order. So it'll only be £20....it's a sign!

I dont like the compartment lunch boxes

However I did spend about £14 on a lunch box for DD3 in year 5 I think it was yuu bag NEVER regretted it they are just fantastic. wipes clean and keep a lot of stuff in them.We loved it she still has it in her room and pulls it out when she is going for outings with school (coming to year 9 now)
