Wakey Wakey, time to get up.

The first thing is my bladder 😂
The second is I don’t / won’t waste the day.

Bladder! 😁

Wanting TIB, which takes me back to bed!

Bladder then dogs, then cuppa tea back in bed!

Insistent purring -

I hate both getting up and going to bed.
I suppose,eventually, it's the feeling that I "ought to get on".
I could happily read in the morning for hours.

I am NOT a "morning person" - even if I'm wide awake.

The dog’s bladder. He has a fine line in howling. It was 6.15 this morning.

Bathroom then a cuppa

Usually bladder!

Once I'm awake and out of bed I can't go back though, unless it's ridiculously early. For some reason I don't enjoy tea in bed in the morning

Technically I’m not ‘up’ yet as I’ve spent the last 2 hours drinking two mugs of TIB, then eating a bowl of Weetabix, a quick look at the newspapers, enjoying a phone call from eldest daughter and then the rest of the time looking at GN.

I need to vacuum through and mop the floors …. Hmm.

So obviously the thought of housework doesn’t motivate movement. 😂
Trouble is it doesn’t fuss me enough.

I usually wake around 5.30am and know that I may as well get up as I would never get back to sleep. No way could I go back once I have been up. Shower and coffee by 6.
I like to get stuff done first thing, be it in the house or in the garden. Especially when it's warmer weather.

Mind you, compared to the late Princess Margaret, I’m playing at the game! She was on an altogether different level of (sloth) relaxation. 😁

What gets you up in the morning?
For me, it’s the cat, mithering even if she doesn’t want anything.
For my mother, it was the thought of tea and toast.

Mithering. There's a word I haven't heard since my Mum died. She was a Lancashire lass and often used it. Thanks for the memory.

It only gets dirty again FGT so why bother...😂😂

1-Needing a wee!

2-Two Ann Forshaw yoghurts with a glass of unsweetened Alpro milk!

3-Work!

My DiLs reply to her mother when she was told her dusting left a lot to be desired. 😀

There always seems to be something - the postman, the cleaner, next door's builders starting at 8.00am, someone coming here to start doing something at 8.00am, a clinic appointment, a Sainsbury's delivery - I never seem to get a lie in these days, and as my sleep is so broken I would love to. 😡

1) My bladder
2) Needing a cup of tea
3) Feeling so very guilty if I don’t get up and get on.

To make sure I’m still alive!
Painkillers
Then shops.

We're morning people, dog needs walk - we pop out of bed.

My circadian rhythms! Generally around 5,30/6 am.
Listen to the news headlines then it’s up, shower, dress and down to breakfast, Can’t understand going back to bed with CIB after getting out of my cosy nest only to make the effort all over again, I like to make a start on things.

Guilt! Plain and simply guilt! There’s that niggly feeling that I ought to be up and doing…

Bathroom visit while my cat moans & begs for food as his bowl is half empty & he is in serious danger of starvation. Between the two no chance of going back to bed 😹

I'm woken by my dog who asks to go out at about 0745. I let her out, turn the kettle on, have a pee, make tea for two, let the dog in and go back to bed with our tea. Then there's emails, messages, morning news and cuddles with the dog, and we try and plan our day. When I retired I stopped getting up early.
