Ignore the poll - I don't know how to disable it!

Was chatting to a chum and she said she loved starting the weekend with a cup of tea in bed with her DH.

Not us! DH brings me a coffee then goes downstairs to have his whilst reading his book.

I scroll mindlessly through MN. What about you?

(I never say chum or cuppa in RL!)

YABU to use the word cuppa. I don't know what other response you need from this thread?

achangeofusername · 25/01/2025 08:48

My preference is to come downstairs and have my cuppa. In blissful silence before everyone is awake.

SarcasticIntrovert · 25/01/2025 08:49

I like a nice quiet start to my weekend if I can and my DH is polar opposite so definitely separate if at all possible. He's gone out this morning so it's just me and the dogs (kids in their bedrooms). It's very peaceful!

doitwithlove · 25/01/2025 08:49

Prefer to have my morning cuppa alone, DH can be very annoying first thing in the morning

GoodVibesHere · 25/01/2025 08:49

I have my cuppa in bed while DH potters about downstairs. I enjoy the peace.

Xmasfairy86 · 25/01/2025 08:49

We sit together on the sofa with ours
if one of us is working or leaving the house early we might bring the other a drink depending on time

Shoestalk · 25/01/2025 08:49

Lol. We have ours separately as I get up with the kids first most Saturdays

Enko · 25/01/2025 08:49

Dh downstairs with his coffee
Me and dog upstairs w a pot of tea and mumsnet for me. Dog is napping.

It's one of my most favourite times of day.

KimberleyClark · 25/01/2025 08:49

We have it together. DH makes it. We have papers delivered at the weekend
so read those.

Pineapplewaves · 25/01/2025 08:50

I have mine with DC1, DP and DC2 don't get up until mid morning.

Wow aren’t you a barrel of joy.

😂

Meadowfinch · 25/01/2025 08:51

I'm single so I make a pot of coffee about 6,30, take it back to bed and do the Mumsnet puzzles. Then the LinkedIn puzzles. Bliss, no rush, no school run. 😊

Then I'm ready for a hot shower, breakfast and the weekly food shop. Which is where I'm going now.

OddBoots · 25/01/2025 08:52

We have different body clocks, I am up hours before him so I have mine alone.

ssd · 25/01/2025 08:52

I wake up first so have mine first in peace

FknOmniShambles · 25/01/2025 08:52

I get up really early and have a big mug of peppermint tea in peace, doing my makeup. I then take a tea up for DH and sit on the bed while we make plans for the day.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 25/01/2025 08:52

At weekends I almost always wake before dh. I creep downstairs and have a peaceful cup of tea and usually knit for a bit. On weekdays there's no time to sit and have a cup of tea together. I make us both a cup. I take mine back upstairs and drink it while I'm getting ready for work. Dh gets ready before going downstairs to drink his.

Hobnobswantshernameback · 25/01/2025 08:54

DH always up well before me
i cannot speak until I've had two coffees so def a solo brew for me

PerambulationFrustration · 25/01/2025 08:55

It depends. Dh is pretty tired from a busy week so he's still in bed and I've made myself some coffee.
Some mornings I'll watch a film while I'm having a coffee alone, which I love. Not today though. Too much to do.

Dh brings me a cuppa every morning and goes downstairs to potter too. Forget flowers and big romantic gestures, real romance is a cup of tea in bed every morning for 35 years 😊

PigInAHouse · 25/01/2025 08:55

Neither of us drink tea, so neither option! DH doesn’t drink hot drinks at all, I’ll do myself a double espresso in the coffee machine when I come down (DH would but he has no idea how to use it).

Wait - what Mumsnet puzzles?!

Lyra87 · 25/01/2025 08:56

Pre DD, we'd usually get up at the same time and have a chilled morning together downstairs. Now, we split the weekend mornings waking up with DD so mostly we have our morning cuppas separately.

JudgeBread · 25/01/2025 08:57

Do people really do the same exact thing every Saturday morning?

BitOutOfPractice · 25/01/2025 08:57

We drink ours in bed together with the radio on, chatting, scrolling, doing puzzles.

DP has just brought my tea in.
