Do you drink your tea in bed or up and at it

Parents of little ones not counted

When the alarm goes off do you make tea/coffee and take it back to bed OR are you throwing the curtains open and putting the dishwasher on?

Bed

Oohhh I'm fantasising about life pre children and how utterly luxurious it would be to have this choice.

However, I reckon 6 days out of 7 I'd probably be up and at it and then 1 day a week take the tea back to bed as treat.

Depends on what day it is. Work days - up an' at 'em. Weekends - tea please!

I put the dishwasher on while I was waiting for the kettle to boil. Now am back in bed with my tea. No one on Mumsnet is up-and-at-it, are they, we are all lazing around online

DH brings me porridge and coffee, which I have in bed.
Then I read my Daily Stoic and my letter from Seneca, do my journal, meditate and tit about on MN for a bit.
I like a slow run-up 😂

DH likes coffee in bed so if he's making one, I'll get one too. I like to be up and dressed before going downstairs for a brew.

I get straight up and have a cup of tea. I don't like drinking or eating in bed.

Up, at it while kettle is on, then sit down to do wordle, read, MN for a bit with my coffee then on with my day. I make the coffee last for a while!

If I'm not going to the gym then in bed. I do get stuck here longer than I would like, but it's often between 5-6am that I wake, which feels too early to get up and do anything.

When kids were little, DH brought me tea in bed before leaving for work, and the kids would pile in with me. I worked evenings then.

I’m back to bed. Have been ever since the kids got out of that awful 5am wake up period.

DS just passed me on the stairs and asked why I always go back to bed every morning

“because I don’t have to get up with you lot torturing me these days” 👀🤷🏼‍♀️

Bed , it’s a civilised start to the day

Good for you, OP!

Agree!

The horror of a late start and having to stay downstairs and run around for work and school run. They are the worst days

Bed. DG brings it every morning then buggers off for a poo. So it is peaceful.

Bed/bedroom whilst getting ready for work

I'm definitely a morning person. I get up between 5 and 6 although it was 4 30 this morning.Already done a load of washing, sorted the dogs and a few other odd quiet jobs around the house.
Dp is at work he has to gets up at 2am Mon to Fri so only dc in bed.

Used to think eating and drinking in bed meant I was unwell!

But now I lie outside the bed with a cup of something and a couple of biscuit's!

Hot water dispenser beside my bed. 2 cups of coffee before sticking a toe out of the duvet then it’s up and out with the dog.

Can't stand eating or drinking in bed.
If I am awake then I get up and go downstairs where I can chill out and enjoy a cuppa.

people who don’t eat or drink in bed - why?

i put my electric blanket on so it’s cosy when I get back in from the trip down yonder

biggest mug I have, bed, phone, check calendar for any meetings I’m not aware of, check emails, skim daily mail (guilty pleasure), skim FB, daily bank account check, skim Instagram, skim mumsnet, 1 game of soda sort and then up

Enjoying my cup of tea in bed as per usual.

I take a thermos of Rooibos to bed every night, have insomnia so often have a cup in night but will enjoy one before getting up too.

Up and at it! My "lazing in bed" time is in the evening when I read every night before going to sleep (although not with a cup of tea). When I wake in the morning I like to get up.

I get up immediately my alarm goes off but then put on fluffy dressing gown make coffee and snuggle on the sofa while I drink it . Some mornings I snooze while I'm there .
