SarahJo Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I help out at lunch times in Ben and Joes school. Today they had sweetcorn as a veg, and combined infant and juniors leftovers, I bagged a weeks supply for the ladies . In return ... fresh eggs for the school cook. . Seems like a fair swap to me ... and the chooks did not turn their beaks up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hello fellow dinner lady I work at my Ben's school as well. We don't have cooked dinners though, the children bring packed lunch. The only thing I have ever brought home is the peel from all the oranges to scatter around to keep the cats away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'm a dinner lady as well I often bring home veggie left overs for my chickens and left over fresh cream chocolate eclairs for me (but don't let on ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Whatever you do, don't let anyone official know: The school could be fined for allowing s"Ooops, word censored!"s from their kitchens to go home. Ridiculous, but true I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 never thought of the "jobsworthness" . Its the 1st time I've done it, but I do see your point Annie. Typical of the world we live in now though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous, but true I'm afraid. Actually I have only ever brought home 1 fresh cream chocolate eclair, the rest never make it passed the staff room The veggie greens are the outside leaves of caulis and cabbage. Can they get fined for me bringing them home ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous, but true I'm afraid. Suppose we shouldnt be surprised really We are not allowed to accept gifts either (cause, of course a pot of home made jam could make all the difference as to how I deal with your claim ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
