    Pfffft. Lightweight. You'll never handle this weekend - by this time tomorrow, you'll be having your stomach pumped.

    What ever happened to making a few sandwiches at home?
    And if you put the milk in the freezer the night before it will be defrosted and chilled ready for you to drink at lunchtime.

    You would get a week of sandwiches from a tin of corned beef and Aldi have diluted orange for 80c.

    Nobody does the packed lunch thing anymore.

    I tried it for a while, but got lazy.

    I suppose if we all stuck with flasks and luncheon roll, the economy would collapse ;)

    But you can get the one with the smiley face on it.
    I like to use food colouring to paint different accessories(i.e glasses,curly hair,eye patch etc)on them for different days of the week,Monday always has a sad face and Friday always smiles.
    I find it makes lunchtime fun and adds variety to the weeks sandwiches.
    Also if you have a flask make some Bovril now that the cold weather is setting in.
    Hot beefy bovril,theres nothing like it.

    I bring a lunch with me 3-4 days of the week. As long as you have access to a microwave, the sky is the limit
