It's usually only when we have guests for dinner that we eat at the table. Breakfast is gulped down whilst reading emails in the morning, and dinner for the two of us is in front of the television. I sometimes think we should make more of an effort!

We eat round the table, but we still have three children at home. Can't speak for where we'll eat when it's just the two of us :)

Breakfast and dinner always at the table with lunch on a tray.
My husband was away a lot before we came here and we always made a thing of dinner at the table with candles - now do that every night - makes it more special and you cannot see if I have burnt the steak!

At the table pretty much for all meals. Like another poster said, we have 3 children so that is the main reason why we contain the mess at the table lol.

At the table, after too many years eating on the run, we find our time torelax and catch up on each other, is meal times.

At the table, we're aiming to teach our kids some etiquette and manners before they leave home.It's also a good way to dissect the days happenings and discuss family stuff that crops up.

At the table, but confess now that we are on our own, my husband and I usually watch the news while we are eating in the evening.

At the table, I have three kiddies and my youngest just started at day care. The teachers were all amazed that on his first day he sat at the table and ate his lunch without walking around like other new children do. I think that is quite sad, I believe it is important to have some time together as a family away from the tv and other distrations.

Pickles - sorry I should have written my post clearer - we eat at the table while watching the news.When the children were home, we always ate at the table, but never had the television on during the meal!

Funny, my partner and I were talking about our dinners as kids. My partner and his family sat at the table and talked about their day with never any silly ness. My mother sat in the lounge with her dinner and us kids at the table were dear not make a peep. As for us we all sit at the table it's our only time together.

Breakfast and lunch at the table, but partner likes the evening meal on a tray to watch TV.I would prefer mine at the table but I just follow what he does.

dinner mainly on our laps watching the news, although will sometimes eat at the table, but no youngsters here. At table when we have visitors. Breakfast often at kitchen bench or in front of computer depends on what we are having though. lunch is generally just a sandwich, if fine more often than not outside. Both of us brought up to eat at table but as now living on our own its just easier to grab our plates and sit in front of TV.

Well that's another great thing about summer coming, don't you think! We do tend to eat outside on those long gorgeous summer nights after Grimmee has cranked up the BBQ. Roll on asparagus season! *drooling*

6 out of 7 at the table, mainley because we have children. Either a Friday or Saturday is on our laps as we usually watch a DVD with the kids.a movie night.And it is more than likely a take-a-way.
