    Cannot stop laughing at lizards. It's not even that funny and I almost choked myself laughing, my other half came through because he thought I couldn't breathe. :o

    We have breakfast at 11-11:30am, lunch at about 2:30-3pm and dinner sometime between 7:30 and 8:30pm. DS (18 months) will usually have a snack as well between 5 and 6pm.

    We eat meals together wherever possible.

    I couldn't eat an evening meal as early as 6.30, even if I had children.

    I rarely eat breakfast if I'm at work, from next week I'm back at a regular contract so the first thing I'll eat will be lunch after 1:30pm

    I know what you mean, I can't understand how people can have a Sunday roast at lunch time. Same at Christmas as well, for a meal that size I need it in the evening,.

    I have my breakfast the minute I get up, I have to or I feel sick :o Lunch about 1ish and then ideally for me I like dinner about 7pm. Sometimes that will change though, lately I've been so tired, I've been napping from 5 til 8pm :eek: so dinner has been later. I do snack on fruit and yoghurts a lot throughout the day though, so probably why I'm never starving come 6 o clock.

    Totally agree about the roast at lunch time :eek: I've been on holiday abroad and seen people eating a roast dinner on a Sunday in a restaurant at 1pm, in the blazing heat. Can think of nothing worse. Generally I thought that was a northern thing though?

    We don't normally, but with me not being well I'm in bed by about 8.30 and having a big meal just isn't sitting right with me at the moment.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    We're rarely up before 10am :)

    I remember having to have 2 breakfasts when I was pregnant. One as soon as I woke up, and another when I got to work! :rotfl:
