What's your morning routine?

[Eyesopenwideawake]

My alarm goes off at 6.20, hit snooze a couple of time but generally up and dressed by 6.45. Make tea and get stuck into the daily puzzles - Wordle, codewords and a glance at polygon in the Times. By 7 (ish!) start the morning routine, feeding the animals and poo picking the horse track. Finished by 8.30 and back to polygon and the quick crossword (partner does the cryptics but I can't get my head around the clues).

After that my day is driven by work or chores around the house and farm, either regular stuff or projects.

How does your day start?

My mornings are all different so I don’t have a routine for the whole morning. Today I woke up at 10:30am, I had a drink and some toast while checking messages/reading the paper/social media/some forums. Now I’m going to have a bath and finish reading my book while I’m in there, do my hair and get dressed.

And thank you for the reminder to play wordle!

I am often woken by my cat by 6am. I will watch tv, scroll on my phone etc before starting work at 8ish. Sometimes I will go for an early walk.

Office days I'm up at 4.50am 😴a very excited boy cat runs in when my alarm goes off and demands cuddles. Coffee, shower, make up, hair and cat food and I leave an hour later.

I love my WFH days... 7.45am alarm, no commute, nobody asking me stupid questions, coffee and pj's until i feel like getting dressed... bliss!

I work nights - so I go to shower and bed asap after getting home. Up around 11am, sort out cats, tidy and clean, potter in the garden and feed the birds. Mug of tea always close to hand! Then do odd jobs, or read/craft etc before teas and heading out to work around 8pm.

I wake up around 8 dh brings me a coffee I drink it in bed catch up on my emails and social media get up have a shower out some washing in the machine. Have another coffee while deciding what I want to do for the rest of the day

Tea first thing, always. Up around 8am, catch up wth MN and emails while drinking it. Breakfast, bath, around 10.30 any shopping that needs to be done, crossword in the paper, tidy up a bit and possibly laundry.

On a work day I get up at 6.30, quickly get ready and then make tea for me and my OH. We sit together with our tea, sometimes chatting, sometimes just quietly, until it's time to leave at 7.30.

At the weekend my OH brings me coffee in bed. I love it!

Weekdays I get up at six. If I’m wfh I go for a run or a swim, then do yoga, then shower and dress, have breakfast and start work. If I’m going to the office I skip the run.
Saturdays, up at about 8, no exercise, just nice slow breakfast and then head to supermarkets.
Sundays up 8-8:30, longer run, yoga, shower, breakfast, duty phone call to mother, chill.

Weekdays alarm goes off at 7, up, get dressed, put face on, sort out the cat and prep lunch on office days. Leave for work about 8.15. DH wakes up about that time and leaves for work shortly after.
Weekends, no routine really! Usually up about 9 and potter about until I get organised and decide what I'm doing.

Work days I'm usually at home so alarm at 6.30, gym at 7.00, shower, dress, nice breakfast in peace, make up and start work at 9

Saturday is wake whenever (usually about 7.30), make tea, bring back to bed, stay there until about 9.30. Give thanks that I don't have to do any ferrying to football practice/ dance class / swimming 😁

I tend to wake once the sun comes into my bedroom (north facing in Australia, blech!), which obviously varies with the season. 7am is my first job, getting Daisy's morning pill down her throat. I generally get up about 8-8.30, or 7.30 if I have an appointment 10am or earlier. I allow myself an hour to dress, make my bed, feed the kitties and clean their litter, have breakfast, maybe get a load of washing on if I'm quick enough (communal laundry) and poke around on the internet before I go to get my mother up. The other must-do job is giving Daisy her laxative two hours after her pill (she has megacolon). It takes 45 minutes to get Mum up, dressed and washed before she walks to my unit (we're in adjoining units, they don't have a connecting door unfortunately) for her medications and breakfast.

Weekdays - Up at 6:30, have cigarette; get dressed etc. drink tea and read or mess around on the internet until it's time to leave for work (or switch on my laptop if I'm working from home).

Weekends - if nothing planned, usually up by 9, have cigarette and make some tea, lounge round until my husband gets up and then decide what we're going to do that day.

On work day - 7:30 first alarm, 7:45 get up, dress, bathroom, pint of water, mini workout, wordle for friend who is in 1 hour ahead timezone and wakes up freakishly early so she is always first, listen to her message, answer, massage my face, take my vitamins, chug another pint of water and slowly move upstairs with coffee while checking mumsnet. 8:30 work time.
Days off - whatever whenever wherever😂

Though lately I've been waking up really early but usually get back to sleep. Not sure why. I lile my 7 hours sleep normally!

Today's morning routine so far 😄
