Got to add this...

does anyone else feel there is a 'stigma' attatched to having a dining table in yoru livingroom (if its small)? I felt it was very Pauline from Eastenders!

But I have changed my mind.

maybe we could start a trend, dining tables in the small livingroom are cool?! (honestly) LOL! :rotfl:

I just saw the "if its small" bit there, because I have a big 6/8 seater dining table in my fairly big lounge/diner & I never thought their was any "stigma" attached to it.

There would be room for a little table & chairs in the kitchen (as per the previous people) IF we hadn't filled it with a new kitchen.

I would like a kitchen/diner as well (may do an extension), but I'm not a fan of small tables, I like big tables that seat 6/8, so if I do get my kitchen/diner, it will be big:D

Pauline Fowlers was only naff because it was plonked in the middle of the living room rather than in a "dining area".

We eat anytime between 7 & 7.30 ish.

If I ate my dinner at 5 or 5.30 I would be hungry again before bedtime.

OH is the biggest problem in our house, he won't eat any veg except brocolli, definitely won't touch onions, if I make a soup he won't have it unless I liquidise it (which I never have, his mum always did).

My DS 14 will eat pretty much anything but DS 7 hardly anything.

We do sit at the table although not always at the same time!

Most of the time I just cook for my DDs during the week as I get a free meal at work and DH gets home late usually and has a separate meal. We do eat together at weekends, and I try to do something we all like with several veg, as we all like different ones (and DH hardly any!!). My DDs have totally different tastes in food, and I try to accommodate these without making too much work for myself!
