a little update....

I'm really sorry, i haven't been able to get logged on here, it wasn't accepting my password on my mobile or on a p.c., yet its the same one i used to get  on tonight.

New Job is great! I am now beginning to like the work. I detest the travelling. I especially detest it when its really bad weather, and the spray back from the trucks and lorries means I can't see much in front of me.
The money is good I guess, although it is over £4000 less than my last full time job, that being over 3 years ago! But, it is a JOB!!! And pretty soon, I shall be in my own office, in my own town, that will only take me 10 mins to get to after dropping Lyle at school, and I will finish at 5pm! Need to sort out where Lyle will be going after school, so far, my parents take him and he likes that, but they have their own lives to lead, and I can't make them commit to this forever.

Bento's/lunches, most days I have been sticking to my bento idea lunches, I can't take pictures as my memory card is full and my computer is not recognising my mobile to transfer the pictures over to clear my memory card :(
Mine are boring numbers, Lyle's has been a lot better than mine, but they are helping me with the amount of food I am consuming (and spending) each day.

I am liking this, it is on the Lakeland website, I could be doing with this for my snack/breakfast at work.

These look fun! from a great wee company who I have ordered from before, and I intend on ordering from again, the delivery was nice and quick.

This is what I ordered previously

I love this lunch box.the dividers are removable or u can put them both vertical to give you three compartments of the same size, or just use one to give u a skinny vertical area and a square area. Personally, I use it the way it is in the picture, one segment for veg sticks, one for fruit and the other generally for a wrap or sandwiches.
I love that it also comes with a snack box. this fits a half jam sandwich plus about an inch to an inch and a half at the side. I sneak a little treat in here, either a chocolate finger or 2, or a small thin-ish toy to play with like a tiny matchbox car/kinder egg toy type thing.

The little company is called Becky and Lolo, they have a lovely selection of gifts and lunch boxes aimed at kids.
I am thinking of getting the pink one for myself, but that is Lyle's fav colour and I will probably end up with the green. For £6.99, I'll most likely get the blue too :)
To see ours in action, have a quick look here. 

Employment...

... I am currently unemployed. It sort of sucks. Only sort of, as I get to spend the weekends with my son. We can just chill or go out exploring with no time restraints on what we can do. It has been great. At the moment I have very little worries. The mortgage and bills will be covered. Next month is a different story.
But as I write this, I am awaiting a phone call to tell me I start my new career. I got a call back yesterday from an interview I went to on Tuesday, to say they are checking out my reference's and unofficially, the job is almost mine!.
I'm now like a cat in a hot tin roof. Very jumpy, nervous, can't stay still.
Couldn't concentrate on my book (Dan brown - lost symbol), the sort of boyfriend picked today to bring up a 'condition' of us being together and then try and get out of the conversation, and when I told him we were discussing it, he hung the fone up! I've been trying to have part of the conversation for a week or so now, but timing/situation wasn't best. But today he git more than he expected (or what I actually wanted to say, although the implication would have been very clear).
The fact he Hung up is really grating on me. He seems unable to or unwilling to have any conversations with me where he looks like a bad guy. Won't listen to his short comings, yet I have on a few occasions, sat and listened to mine from him.
That will be changing this week.
Only decision I have made today is that if he isn't divorced by end of year, I will be starting 2013 as a single 30 year old. Hopefully an employed, single, 30 year old mum :)

No lunch pictures today. The fone has no memory space, and I have deleted everything I don't want.

I am thinking of joining the October dress project, where u wear one dress for the whole of October. That will depend on if I get the job, as the training is 3 weeks, in a different area, 2 train journeys away. With lots of new people to meet. And I don't want the company to think they have hired a weirdo. If I had been their a while, that would be a different story.

Enjoy your day....

Dinosaur family

Just a quick one today.
Lettuce as a nest, scotch eggs as dinosaur eggs, two cheese dinosaur sandwiches as mummy and daddy, little yellow plums, and banana bread. All with Orange juice carton.

I done a cracker on Friday, thought I had bogged it, but its not here, and I've deleted the pic, as I have no memory space on this fone.

Hamburger style lunch

So, our new lunch box arrived today.
And it is a winner!
Lyle loves it. He wanted to try it out last night, so he got a night time snack in it. He spent ages making sure he could close it. It is a bit tricky to close, especially for small children. But he got it!.

Today he has a goats cheese and Chinese leaf lettuce bagel.  A fruit salad (with a Christmas tree pick) consisting of Orange segments, red grapes and strawberries.
A small piece of rocky cake, a yogurt, some mini chocolate fingers. Fruit juice. A banana and water for play time.
This all went in his scooby doo lunch bag that is shaped like a bowling bag. So the box (& food) stays up right.

Feck off Thursday.

It's one of those lovely Scottish days, where the rain is a constant drizzle, you walk from the house to your car and u are soaked, as the drizzle gets everywhere. I love that kind of weather, especially just now, when its not too cold n freezing, although it is getting colder by the day.

I need to start looking into making warm lunches, Lyle isn't a big fan of soups, and the canteen have told ne they won't reheat anything as they can make the food themselves.

Todays lunch was put in the new lunch box, that I am loving already! It consists of a wrap with turkey slices and cucumber slithers. Some chopped cucumber (I need to get more Veg in!) , the very last of the sausages and dippers (these where only added as the carton of juice was too long for that segment) little blob of tomato sauce, and grapes n mandarin segments.
This lunch box also comes with a small snack box, and as it will be a wet play today, I gave him a strawberry jam sandwich with 4 little chocolate fingers and a snack bag of raisins.(he gets 2 play times, so I always make sure he has the option if having something for the afternoon) along with his bottle of water.

Yesterday my fork picks arrived. And we love them. Ok, they are Christmas themed, but so what. They are cute and do a job.  Today he has Rudolf for the fruit and an elf (that sort of looks like a ghost) for the cucumber and sausages.
All I need now is sauce bottles.

Yesterday I had a lot more on my post, but for some strange reason, it didn't post anything after the picture.
Oh well.
Here is Todays picture.
