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

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.

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?
nu l pack her lunch everyday and if she forgets it l take it to her work (what a suck):D even run down to the gate to open it so she dosn't have to get out :U (more sucking )
l will do anything not to go back to the rat race :2tsup: got to keep bread winner happy:;
Cliff, you forgot to mention the 2 schooners and the Chico roll.:DQuote:

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

John.
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
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....:DQuote:

The bride makes my lunch every day, just sangers & some homemade bikkies, used to take leftovers like Scott but got fat as mud :D
Cheers.................Sean
Guess Im a lucky man...
Some one tell me this is a joke post only in the wrong place!:?
A WOMAN getting out of bed to pack her man lunch!!:o :o :o
the ONLY woman I knew who did that was my mum.. only because dad was a complete dunce when it came to food and she did'nt want to see him starve
please dont take this post seriously
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 :DQuote:

Cutting my lunch is a whole new story :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.:- )Quote:

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.
Mmmmm sounds nearly as good a Harry's pizza.
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:Quote:

and his reply was that his wife was visiting her mum and he was batching.
