and what do youhave to do ?

7.30 usually.Ds's are usually dressed so i have to encourage dd1 to get dressed,dress the baby and myself. The older lo's get brekkie ready and we are usually ready to go by 8.30. Although laswt wk we got up at 8.20 and were still on time. Wondering if i coulod get away with that on a daily basis!

I get up later now they are at school than when they were tiny!

I remember everything had been done by about 8 am and I would just sit around waiting for shops etc to be open.

6.30/6.45 on school days.

Dh gets up at 6:45 to wake boys. They dress themselves and dh makes breakfast and brings me a cup of tea. I get up at 7 and shower and dress by 7:30. I pack their snack, do ties and bundle into car for 7:50, usually after moving on laundry and/or dishwasher. All bags, homework etc are done the night before. Although I get up at 7 I don't wake up until about 9...

The bell goes at 8:15, so I can be in Waitrose by 8:30 and home by 8:50/9:00.

7.30-ish. DW gets them their breakfast before going to work. I chivvy them while getting mine (they usually get distracted by "Noddy" and forget to spoon cornflakes into mouths), and usually end up making extra toast. Get self ready, while issuing stern admonishments to get dressed and clean teeth. Leave house at 8.33, precisely.
