Supper on the sofa?

Yes we do it too. And after a busy day gardening, we have a shower and put our pjs on. Casual or not!!!!

It's either or in our house. Depends on what we're eating.

I do try to keep supper OFF the sofa though!

We have a lounge diner, so the table is convenient. But on the rare occasion we have a pizza delivered, for some reason it's dished up on the dining table, but eaten on the sofa.

I prefer eating at a table as there's less chance of me leaving a trail of whatever I've had down my front . Plus, my large (but reducing - yay) belly leaves little or no room on my short legs to balance a tray.

Always have supper on knees watching TV. As a corona virus concession to standards we have Sunday lunch in the dining room even if it's only soup and sausage rolls.

Lap tray and news for us. I hate sitting at the table. Always have done. When the children were young I often sat on the sofa while OH and children sat at table.

We enjoy a meal on a tray in the conservatory watching a quiz. The chairs there are just right.

Always at the moment. The table is currently in my bedroom masquerading as my desk. Occupying its place is a large climbing frame and slide.

On Saturdays, we have takeaway, trays on our laps, a bottle of wine and a film from Amazon Prime. ??? My mother wouldn’t approve and she certainly wouldn’t like to see the squares of kitchen paper that we use for napkins...

On the other days, we eat at the dining table in our kitchen diner. ?

We always use napkins/serviettes (not linen but cotton) and have our own rings even if we are eating from a tray on our knees. Mustn't let standards slip.

We used to until we had a small table built into our new kitchen. Now we always eat there - we both think it's much more comfortable eating at a table than slumped in a sofa. We have a TV above the table though - often catch up on missed documentaries and things and discuss them while we have our meal.

The sofa is for a snack or cup of tea and biccy while we relax at other times.

It's also much more convenient - everything is in cupboards around us so don't need to load trays up with sauces, salt, pepper, cutlery, bread and butter.... just bung it on the table. Also quicker to clear away and load everything into the dishwasher.

kitty wash your mouth out for using the s word!

ethelteabags1 You have got me all wrong!
I am not shaming anyone.
I have to eat at a table, I just do not enjoy sitting on a sofa to eat.
Television was rationed when the children were little and mealtimes were for engaging with each other not watching TV so my 3 would laugh at the hypocrisy.
Food is an important part of my adult life as when I was a child mealtimes were fraught.
I developed an eating disorder, to overcome it I had to make eating a happy and positive experience.

All our meals are eaten while sitting in our armchairs in the living room. We only have a small bench table in the kitchen (made by a friend to fit the space, for the grandkids when they were small and used to see us) which isn't very comfortable for adults.
No telly on usually, hard enough to find something to watch in the evening and just about impossible during the day.

phienix, just wanted to cover all bases.

We eat on the sofa in the lounge in front of the TV Mon - Sat, but on Sunday we have a proper roast dinner on the table in the dining room. Also if the family or friends visit we eat at the table. Don't know how this habit of eating in front of the TV evolved as when our kids were home we never did this.

I never eat by a table unless out for a meal or at someone else's.

I always eat in my glasses as well - the food looks bigger.

We always eat a knife and fork meal at the dining table. Something we have always done. Ours is a living room/dining room, the TV or radio is usually on. Sarnies and stuff like that we eat on the sofa. (Wary of stating this but DH is rather accident prone (clumsy?) so eating say spag bol from plates on our laps doesn’t bear thinking about).

Breakfast in bed for me, not for DH who gets up after a cuppa. Lunch (sandwich and apple) in front of bargain hunt. Evening meal (dinner/tea/supper whatever) at the dining table with napkins.

i thought napkin rings were considered rather infra dig.

We have breakfast and Sunday lunch at the table but most other times on trays on our laps. I would like to sit at the table for every meal but DH likes to relax on the sofa. He always spills food on his jumper and sitting all hunched over isn’t good for digestion. Oh well!

How would we know who owned which napkin, welbeck?

Unless there’s anyone else eating with us, we always have trays on laps for dinner.
One reason, not that we need one! - is that our dining table is my office cum work table, and very often covered with paperwork, knitting/sewing paraphernalia, etc.

We always eat at the table in the kitchen.
At one time we would sometimes eat in front of the telly if there was something we particularly wanted to watch, but a) it always seemed a faff to carry through to the lounge the salt & pepper, salad dressing, wine, wine glasses, & cutlery rather than just plonking them all in the kitchen table and b) it just felt less comfortable, as the food wasn’t being digested properly.
And then we had to cart everything back to the kitchen.
We don’t have TV in the kitchen and that’s the way I like it.

Glad I'm not the only one Westcoaster we have trays on the sofa too and I always manage to spill something down my front.
