Just curious how many of your have other-halves who pack a lunch for you to take to work??

I get up every morning with DH to make him some sandwiches to take to work (no matter who often our devil-son has woken me during the night for a feed :()

Anyway, I'm just curious to see how many off you get your lunches packed up :D

:2tsup: Thanks in advance!

it's an anonymous poll btw :wink:

She did when she was pregnant. She would get up and make me a coffee and toast and then make me something to take for lunch. It's all stopped now though. :( Maybe she needs to be pregnant again. :D

That's a bit harsh, isn't it? I thought it was only my wife that called me that. :p

How old are your rug rats?
My boy is almost 6 months old. Does that qualify me for exemption from lunch lady duties :p

If my missus was to pack my sons lunch I am sure he would get a lunch order from the canteen everyday! ........ my lunch.... hell I would just have to go hungry.

The only reason she feeds Keeley is because at 7 months she is too young to get it for herself.

...... where's the 'rat's ring' option. :p

What :?
Forum joke about polls, it is the button for the 'I don't give a rat's ring' option. :D

You could also put in a button for those of us who actively discourage our partners from making lunch for us.... I have a hard time fitting a pie for smoko, & steak burger with the lot for lunch & the 'nice salad sandwich.' :p

Where's the option for "I'm lucky enough not to have a missus and hence get to make my own culinary mistakes" :?

Or how about the fact that I make 99% of the lunches. The girls at MBGitW's work know when she makes her own lunch . . . Vegimite and cheese:)

My wife has never packed me lunch that I can recall. I never took a packed lunch when I worked in Sydney and since I've been down here, whenever I took my lunch to work, I packed it myself. Now that I work at home, she always cooks or buys me lunch unless she's playing golf. Like today. WHich remonds me, what am I having for lunch today?

Cliff, you forgot to mention the 2 schooners and the Chico roll.:D

SWMBO used to pack lunch for me, usually with a little love note in the bag. Somewhere along the way, the lunches and the notes both stopped.:rolleyes:

Alex, you know your in strife when the lunch gets wrapped in a road map or the To Let guide from the paper.:(

SWMBO has never packed a lunch and I did the kids until they took over themselves, which says something for the quality of the lunches possibly:rolleyes: . Only did breakfast once, and it was an experience that left me so traumatised I never asked for breaky again. She does manage about half the evening meals though.

I used to buy lunch every day but recently I started to bring lunch (to save money :D)

Since I cook almost every night so I can put some away when dinner is cooked.

My work is only about 5 minutes from home so i usually go home for lunch.:driving:
Sometimes she has lunch ready for me but I'm really just getting out of the office for a while.

I work at home so making a packed lunch would be a bit futile.
(anyway if she did make one I'd probably eat it all at playtime) :D

.. what am I having for lunch today?
I'm home alone today, there was a big lump of corned meat left cooking for dinner tonight that I had to take off once it was cooked....:D

Corned beef & green mango chutney on cafe multigrain... :2tsup: (with a bit of rocket so I can say I had some salad :rolleyes: )

I sense a certain amount of subconscious resentment here. :rolleyes: If I were your DH spouse, I'd be checking my cut lunch very carefully for a few weeks. :D :D

Oops, there WAS a salad in the fridge that I WAS supposed to eat for lunch. :rolleyes: (appearently it was mentioned at breakfast while I was still asleep.:- )

Anyway, the salad has gone to work (her's not mine) & today I have a plate of leftovers. Corned Beef, white sauce, mashed potatoe & pumpkin, & onions. Yum. :licklips:

In the absence of a 'rat's ring' button, I have voted 'sometimes'

Mate forget the white sauce, try this Mustard Sauce.
Keep the water from your meat, reduce it to a third. In a small pan melt 40g of butter,whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour and one of dry mustard powder (KEENS), then reduce heat and slowly mix in broth until smooth, add juice of half a lemon and 2 tablespoons of cream and a handful of chopped parsley.

It beats throwing all that broth down the sinkand its yum.

It sounds like your wife has the same bad habit as mine. She's always talking to me when I'm not listening. Really pisses me orf. :cool:

When I Was doing my traineship worked with a victorian bloke in the hydraulics section who for two weeks opened his lunch every day and said " jam sandwich's , I hate jam sandwiches and threw them into the bin, after two weeks I asked him why he didn't get his wife to make him something else for lunch
and his reply was that his wife was visiting her mum and he was batching.
