Let's not debate why times are tough and these kids need school lunches, let's brainstorm!
Share your favourite lunches from your school days or the go-to meals your kids love! Perhaps we can come up with a menu of crowd-pleasing school lunches...

I’m Natalie from Scratchpad Cattery, where Eli has come for his holidays for many years now.
Eli’s a sweet, gentle boy who enjoys being cozy indoors but also loves to be outside when the weather is nice. He’d be a wonderful companion, especially for someone living alone. He would be best suited to a child- and pet-free home (just Eli!).
He’s in good health for his age, and we’re hoping to find his new home soon. Call me if you'd like to meet this special fellow and maybe have him as your new forever bestie!

From trekking through Nepal and enduring the cold in Antarctica to immersing themselves in Aboriginal culture in the Australian Outback, their epic retirement proves that age is no barrier to discovery. Just as Sir Edmund Hillary pushed the limits of exploration, residents of his namesake village continue to chart their own extraordinary journeys.
“We’ll keep travelling for as long as we can,” says Rodnie.

I have an old digital camera my daughter would like to use (for reasons which are beyond my simple brain) but in order to charge it, I need a "Mini USB A/B" cable (pictured). Does anyone have one kicking about they can pass on? Cheers.
As pictured. No problems apart from one of the hose reels itself is slightly bent so it clicks when rotated. Works fine apart from that.
