I am, although been up for three hours!

I have errands to run and it's a balmy 4C outside so really should be up and out but I can't get going - might have another coffee instead cafe

Yep! Me too! 😂

Kate54 Sat 28-Jan-23 09:38:25

Of course!

No, I’ve just come back from an hour or so walk. Now tidying and getting the porridge before hopefully going out into the garden.

Juliet27 Sat 28-Jan-23 09:38:58

Yes and been awake since 6 but still not up!!

Juliet27 Sat 28-Jan-23 09:40:00

I’ll have some of what you’re on please WWM !!

Yes, got up at 9.20, hairdresser coming in a hour so having tea and a pastry before she comes.

Likewise - tea just before 8, back to bed to read the paper, now coffee and my latest Inspector Gamache .
And why not? 🤔😀

Actually a couple of years back I would still be in my dressing gown, but DH and I have changed our routine. I’m a lark and DH an owl - so it is far easier for me to take the dog out first thing, and then start my day.

I’m sitting just about to read the paper with coffee. Breakfast will be when DH surfaces.

Indeed, especially in the company of M Gamache, preferably in the Bistro in Three Pines...

Yes. I have to get dressed at 7am on week days to see granddaughter onto her school coach at 7.30 and so weekends are a luxury and I stay in my dressing gown until after a late breakfast.

Oh I am so glad that I am not the only one.

Ailidh Sat 28-Jan-23 10:06:35

No, don't possess one. I'm up at 05:30 and get dressed to take the dogs to a lamp post (no private garden). By 08:00 they and I are breakfasted and out for a proper walk, I having also showered, properly dressed and got my make up on.

I need structure, it works for me.

No I have to sit up in bed for an hour each morning as I have to sit upright after taking medicine. After that I go straight in the shower then get dressed.
I do put my dressing gown on after dinner sometimes though on dark cold nights in the winter.

ShazzaKanazza Sat 28-Jan-23 10:10:28

I’m still in my night wear though it’s leggings and a zip up hoodie. I just said to hubby I’ll have another cuppa and then I’ll get dressed.

Jaxjacky Sat 28-Jan-23 10:10:38

No, from bed into the shower, then dressed, I don’t know why I own one really.

Lovely slow morning in my “jimmys”.
We had a full day in York yesterday, shopping, lunching and walking the castle walls.
I slept so well😀

I have two dressing gowns but rarely wear them. I can be lazy in the morning if I’ve nothing to do but just stay in bed a little longer so I’m always dressed before I go downstairs.

Luckygirl3 Sat 28-Jan-23 10:15:10

I am in my dressing gown substitute (large long cardigan) - I have streaming cold and sore throat and just can't muster the energy to get washed and dressed.

timetogo2016 Sat 28-Jan-23 10:15:23

Been awake since 4,30ish.
Went down stairs at 8,made a cup of tea went back to bed with the tea and the laptop,to stay warm,i am just about to get up after finishing my second cuppa.
Can`t see the point in heating down stairs when the beds nice and warm.

tanith Sat 28-Jan-23 10:19:04

Woke at 5.45 and read for a while, cuppa at 7, shower, walk to the paper shop then porridge, paper another cuppa and iPad.

I too would normally be back from an hour's walk by 09.30 but my walking buddy is away and although I do often walk on my own lately have been letting standards slip!

I blame the weather smile

The noble dressing gown is known as Welsh national dress in my family!

I wish…

GC staying this weekend (3&5) up at 7, have made a Lego Friends beach shack complete with shower and loo. Fed them, bubble bath, colouring, and washed pj’s and the clothes they wore yesterday. Grandpa is now on Lego duty and I have sneaked 10 minutes with 3yr old on sofa with a latte and a Lego Friends film.

Tomorrow I shall be in my pj’s as long as I like 🤣🤣🤣
