Oh the shame! Just had a call from DD's school .......

[sandyballs]

...... to tell me that my poor child had a huge lump of cheddar in her lunch box and no sandwiches . In a mad rush this morning and must have grabbed the wrong foil-wrapped pack.
Can't understand why though really, should have noticed it was more solid and heavier .
School wanted to know if they could give her a school dinner instead.

bless!

LOL

I feel so sorry for my DD... I do stuff like that all the time, she's gonna hate me when she starts school!

PMSL!!! I did actually LOL

lol hopefully they will be a little bit impressed that you are the sort of well-organised mum who wraps cheddar in foil though!

lol

My ds would consider that the ne plus ultra of packed lunches and wolf the lot. He'd never have grassed me up!
LOL Sandyballs

Good one Sandyballs - you will be forever remembered at the school now. That cheese woman.

PMSL!!!

I'm assuming that you said she could have a school dinner, and that you're not insisting she eats the cheese ...

My sister once visited me with her baby wipes in an anchor butter plastic box. I used to keep my cheese in an identical box. The next morning, my sis's childminder went to get the wipes from my nephew's changing bag only to find a few mouldy lumps of various cheeses....

Us mums can do 5 things at once, we didn't say they would always be perfect,(or did we?)

It must be something to do with cheese

I was tempted to say that a huge lump of cheese for lunch was the norm in our house and how dare she question our traditions but I bottled out and said give her a school dinner .

It's only her third week at school and her first week of lunches - day 3 and this happens. Dear oh dear, the future is not looking good

Pmsl!!!!!! Thanks I needed that X

What made it even funnier was that the lady who rang was terribly posh and completely humourless

When I was 5, I opened my sandwich box, to discover it was the bacon box.

My mum was (and possibly still is, 25 years later, mortified).

I got a new sandwich box that wasn't identical to the bacon box.

My dad used to do things like wrap up conkers in foil and put them in with my cooking stuff, just to embarrass me!! it worked - my friends thought he was bonkers and he still is!

My friend (slightly related but still) was telling me the other day that when she was 6 ish she saved a present at christmas right through to the evening, when (excitedly etc etc) she opened it... her Dad had wrapped a potato.

heheheh

Well last time I helped in a day trip with year 2 kids and one of them had the day before's packlunch left overs...

Easy mistake, mum had made a pack lunch in plastic bag (as they were supposed to be) but dad dropped kid off and picked up the lunch box!

It happens, I have gladly manage to convince DS to go back on hot dinners :D :D :D :D after forgetting to pack drinks at the start, then forgetting spoons I realised I was never cut out for packed lunches!!
