Thing is....Phil's not formally invited me. I paid him for Irish Lotteries up to the 21st yesterday (21st being a Saturday, which he reminded me of) I then said....Oh, Sunday birthdays, I don't like them....he then said we'll we're going to aforementioned place and said there's menu's on the net if you want to have  a look.

True to my brother being my brother though he sorta implied I was invited but never came out and said it

We used too ....but lays to heavy now ....old age  

 

I don't eat after 6 Baz...unless it was a dinner party and that doesn't count because I'm always up until silly o'clock anyway 

We used to never eat before about 8 when we were both working ....and in summer , when Mr B worked longer hours , sometimes  it was 10

We are the opposite ....we eat our main meal midday nowadays ..l

 

strangely everyone seems to do evening meals here...Sunday being the exception and it's normally a late afternoon lunch

Yep, I'm not a great one for evening meals, although I will if I have to

oh heck, that's very late....even when I worked we always sat down before 7 

Well Mr B ( and my ex ) both worked in the building trade , so never got home until dusk ...so in summer it was very late....especially as they usually had to travel miles . I use to feed kids at 5 and then just wait until he got home

The test was ...were the kids still screaming for food when he got home?

I was lucky really, my husband worked 12 hour shifts all our married life, he worked 3 on, four off and luckily sometimes 7 on ...3 days he didn't eat with us and used the works canteen, the other four he would prepare veg and stuff while I was at work  So we always managed to sit down at a decent time, until the girls started working and then it got slightly later

That's part of what my idea of a marriage is...pitching in together when you can

begrudgingly I will give him that and he would do the housework while I was at work 

Yeah, our cleaner at work (Julie) used to run around after her partner like her life depended on it, nd prolly even still does, even though they both worked but she did more work than him. I would've told him to do one
