we always had lunch together as a family on sunday - usually roast. well, i'm an only child & so is my mum, so it was my parents & i and my mum's parents. we alternated between my grandparent's house & ours.

once i started school mum went back to work full time so friday nights were takeaway night. we pretty much always ate dinner together as a family (not so hard when there's only one child!).

i've just started in the habit of not cooking on a friday night and DP and I go to my parent's house most sunday evenings for dinner. sometimes i wish i could have a break but i know how much it means to my mum that the 4 of us have a meal together once a week & plus she's such a good cook!
