So I was staying at a friend's new house over the weekend, her husband was out so we had a girly night in, food and some cocktails before going to bed at midnight. Friend had made a few references to how she's an early riser because her job makes her get up early over the week and that she will be having a plumber come in from about 9. No problem I thought. No references for her wanting me to be up at a specific time.
I went to the spare room, said goodnight and shut the door behind me and went to sleep. About 7.45am I woke up with a jump to realise friend was in my room, opening the drawers under the bed I was sleeping in saying "oh don't mind me, just putting some washing away". I shrugged it off and went back to sleep. About 8.30, friend came barging in again, making me jump out of a sleep. I told her this time she'd made me jump and I got the Mumsnet tinkley laugh and "Oooh sorry I've been up ages, was just doing some chores". I then said I might as well just get up and got dressed.
The more I thought about this the more it annoyed me, as my friend didn't say she wanted me to be up at a specific time, so felt like just because she's an early riser, I had to be too.
