Packed lunch
 

Who takes a packed lunch to work? If so do you have the same thing most days?

I do take my lunch - always the same thing.

Re: Packed lunch
 

my husband does, always tuna sandwiches or corned beef, I make one up every day for my daughter and try to vary it.

Re: Packed lunch
 

I've made one every day for Mr Lanark for almost 9 years now, it depends what plan he's on, if he's low carbing then it's chicken/meat salad, if not then I try to make healthier options with pasta/rice salads and the very very odd sandwich for variety, he takes 1 strawberry activia and a piece of fruit,keeps him out of the office tuck shop

Too much organisation required, I can't be fagged with the logistics. But was getting severely hacked off with only Costa every day at work, now the terminal is open much better choice :-)

Re: Packed lunch
 

I take sarnies for the first few days, well Portugese Rolls actually....but they get stale if you buy too many so normally Tuesday /Wednesday I'll get left over dinners and Thursday is 'do what the **** I want day' = German Donner Kebab.

I swear I'm a 50yr old in a 25yr old's body...

Re: Packed lunch
 

I buy a fresh baguette everyday to make mine.

I'm impressed by those wives that make hubbies sandwiches. I have never had mine made for me.

Has this forum suddenly turned into Expat Mums?

Re: Packed lunch
 

Every morning or the night before? Seems a faff to me.

That's awesome.

I worked with a guy who claimed he couldn't tolerate caffeine. I ordered us coffees, got his with an extra shot....felt a bit guilty when he was stood next to the water cooler drinking pint after pint talking to himself and shaking.

Pretty funny.

Re: Packed lunch
 

I walk to the shops to buy it the night before. Failing that Mrs Millhouse gets it if she goes to the shop.

I don't mind, quite like the walk/ bike ride.

Re: Packed lunch
 

Fair enough. I can walk to a Spinneys but it involves a long straight corridor / walkway in the 'mall' under the towers and it's basically a playground for scumbag screaming kids on scooters/roller skates/bikes etc.

I've only knocked one over but I'd rather go hungry than deal with that shit.

Re: Packed lunch
 

are you able to get this in Cairo? Last time I was there the shops looked like they had been looted.

No talk of anal sex so obviously not.

Re: Packed lunch
 

Any packed lunch I ever make rarely lasts past 9.45am.

When I used to commute from Sussex to East London M23, M25, A13 most of it was usually scoffed before I reached Clackett Lane Services

Re: Packed lunch
 

Clacket Lane, oh the memories...that was our stop on the way to Dartford for meetings.

Re: Packed lunch
 

Portuguese rolls (from Spinney's I hope?)........ Clacket Lane............ this is MY thread.......... :o

Re: Packed lunch
 

You can freeze bread you know. Buy enough Portugese rolls for the week but take out enough for the next day's lunch from the freezer the night before.

Do you have a Ben 10 or a Sponge Bob lunchbox?

Re: Packed lunch
 

What's a Portuguese roll? Is this Mumsnet-talk for something else? I feel left out :confused:

Re: Packed lunch
 

It's a bit like a Dirty Sanchez.

Re: Packed lunch
 

Just a nice bread roll from Spinneys. No idea what the Portuguese connection in? Perhaps they go well with Sardines?


I'm hungry now.

Re: Packed lunch
 

YEah, the mrs freezes two slices of bread in sandwich bags for toast...I just don't fancy that....don't the rolls go all wet?

I dunno,it's a white bap with flour on top as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Packed lunch
 

I was hungry...

Re: Packed lunch
 

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: Packed lunch
 

Not if you freeze them in a bag...

Re: Packed lunch
 

Frozen bread is rank. Only good for toast.

A friend of mine's wife would freeze his whole sandwich!

Re: Packed lunch
 

You may find it tastes better if you allow it to defrost before eating it.

Re: Packed lunch
 

Debatable.

Allegedly, motorway service stations and the like "refresh" sandwiches near their sell-by date by recovering the filling and putting it in fresh bread. A man in a pub told me.

Re: Packed lunch
 

Lunch was finished at 12:18. Rarely does it go beyond 12.30

Re: Packed lunch
 

Just finished the bolognese. Now firmly in the full, sweaty stage of digesting such a goliath portion.

Re: Packed lunch
 

20 mins and you'll need a kip

Re: Packed lunch
 

2pm coffee / burner combo.
3:30pm lull
4pm picks up for the final push to get out of here on time.
