I have never held a dinner party in my life, and I’m now late 20s and think it’s about time I got over my phobia, I’ve (pretty stupidly) always felt insecure about whatever house I’ve lived in as always been skint and lived in small houses with cheapie furniture. I currently live in a small, compact 2 up 2 down semi. Kitchen is small, just has space for functional items. Living room is nice but petite, I have floor space for my main furniture like sofa etc. I don’t have a dining table as such, just a small wooden table with leaves, it sits in the kitchen in its folded state the vast majority of the time. It has four chairs which are stored away. The table could seat 4 people around it at a push, is it ok to move this table into middle of the living room for eating? Which would mean literally no space left in living room but if its only for eating is this ok? If not I would have to rearrange living somehow. I do have a garden with table and chairs fingers crossed it can be good weather and we'll sit outside!
What does everyone else do? hides in shame from never holding dinner party at grand old age of 28
