...or just one that hasn't got Bob the Builder, football, or camouflage on it

I don't care how much the f*cker costs as long as it is aesthetically pleasing, or at least not smothered in a TV character.

Thanks so much.

tin

would never do it soooooooooooooooo impractical

Bruno has an old Moet tin as his lunchbox

They're both great, F&Z - I know my DS (2.5) would love the Emma Bridgewater one. Would the Sergeant Pepper one be difficult to fit things in, being sort of circular? Might not matter, though.

Enid · 06/07/2006 21:21

I bought that emma bridgewater tin as a gift fora friends ds

NEVER really thought of it as lunchbox as it is very very flimsy

FrannyandZooey · 06/07/2006 21:22

I don't care

He can take very very light and circular lunches in it

wagon wheels, and small satsumas for instance

What was that circular bread you used to be able to get - slimcea?

JackieNo · 06/07/2006 21:25

Party rings?

FrannyandZooey · 06/07/2006 21:26

I'll tell you what, the purpose of this lunchbox is not so much to carry lunch (which we could do in a tesco's bag), it's to encourage him to trot happily off to have his lunch at nursery (which he already does), and to cheer me up (which it has) and to enable me to buy him a treat and PRETEND IT IS SOMETHING PRACTICAL HE NEEDS

It can rust and fall apart for all I care, I want to be frivolous and profligate for a change

Go for it then. It is fab.

FrannyandZooey · 06/07/2006 21:27

Yes party rings

and Warburtons milk rolls (not really sure what they are but have feeling they are round)

bagels, apples

and a nice Big Mac

And quinoa patties (if there is such a thing). Scotch eggs.

FrannyandZooey · 06/07/2006 21:28

He will love it, is aspiring muso and obsessed with drums. A lunch box that looks like a drum, I could not have made it up

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 06/07/2006 21:29

scotch eggs are an invention of the devil

Bleeugh at cold fried egg. Hula hoops? Ooh we could be here for ages. You'd better get back on ebay and buy that lunchbox.
