For 3 years I've been packing a lunch and a tea for the munchkin but she's startiong to do 2 full days at school and suddenly I'm faced with having to pack food that doesn't need to be cooked. I can feel a brick wall approaching, so inspiration please.

Just to give you an idea of this weeks typical packed lunches:

For tomorrow I've packed:
2 mini scotch eggs
2 mini cocktail sausages
an organic strawberry & peach yoghurt
some grapes, a plum and banana all cut up, so a mini fruit cocktail
Some of thoise M&S kids cheesy hoops, (not the whole packet)
One of those min M&S gingerbread biscuits

Monday was:
some cream cheese & avocado dip
Carrot batons, cumber cut into sticks and some bread sticks
Bits of cheddar cut up
A mini brown roll with butter & marmite
Watermelon
a slice of home made banana loaf

She also has the odd cream cheese and marmite sarnie
the odd sausage roll
some dried fruit
some carrot cake
a fig roll

Help, what else is there?
I just can't think.

try chicken nuggets,
rolls filled with apple, cheese, yoghurt, onion, breadsticks,
home-made lamb kofta, with sliced cucumber and onion,
cold very small pieces of meat (cold duck, pork, lamb or beef) with a portion of salad in a pot and sauce to squirt over), and a wrap to fill
cold sausages,

Ooh, forgot - cherry tomatoes are big favourite with dd - she eats them like sweets
