Eating in bed

My Lovely Dad, who always got up very early, even after he retired ALWAYS took my Mum a Cup of tea in bed, and before i got married and lived at home, also for me. Loved it.

When we were first married, hubbie was taking exams, and most nights we would retire to bed with cheese and biccies, whilst I tested him on different business legal cases.

We were so young, in our early twenties, were able to easily digest this even late at night.

As soon as I wake up, if it’s later than 5, I get up. I’ve never ever gone downstairs then gone back up with food.
I always eat at the table as otherwise I would drop food on my clothes and the dog would gaze into my eyes and watch every mouthful.

I’m doing the 16/8 at the moment and don’t eat until lunch . Either DH or myself put the dog in the garden first thing . Make a cuppa and bring it upstairs and we’ll have tea and watch the news for bit before getting up.
Our dog is allowed on our bed , so if I had breakfast in bed , I’d have a soppy Labrador eyeballing me .
A friend hates tea in bed and doesn’t have a cuppa until she’s up , showered and dressed .

Only ever done when ill, I like to be up and about otherwise.

I've never liked eating in bed, I like to get up, have a cuppa and toast.I don't even like going about in my dressing gown...reminds me of being in hospital.so I like to get up washed and dressed...and start my day..

A large cup of coffee and two digestive biscuits - each of which has to be broken in half - eaten in bed, is my morning ritual from which I never deviate wherever I find myself. An actual breakfast in bed would be a recipe for disaster for me - I can barely sit at the table these days without making a mess!

I enjoy a cup of coffee in bed when I wake up and read the newspapers online while I drink it but then I get up to start my day with a pre breakfast walk

Nothing to eat or drink in bed for me. I prefer to be dressed and sitting at the table to eat my breakfast and read the paper.

It's just me, so getting up to make a cuppa and take it back to bed doesn't work for me. Once I'm up, I have a cuppa. I never eat in bed. I don't like it' never have

Only if I'm ill. Younger son bought one of those wonderful wooden trays with collapsible legs for my 60th. He remembered that I'd admired one when watching television.

Not for me. I prefer to get up and dressed before I eat. Or maybe I can’t eat until I’m up and dressed! I don’t even want a cup of anything in bed before rising. I’ve had meals in bed when I’ve been ill but it’s stressful trying to keep the bedding clean.

I don’t judge, though - if it gets your day off to a good start, go for it! ☕️ 🥣 🥯

Occasionally I have a biscuit and drink.

What I will NOT do again is eat chocolate in bed. A weeks back on one of the hottest evenings of the heatwave I fancied a few squares of chocolate while I read my book. Some crumbs must have fallen on and got on the bottom sheet. It looked pretty disgusting in the morning!

I've never seen the appeal of breakfast in bed but appreciate it is enjoyable for some. I have had the occasional toast or bowl of cereal in bed due to circumstances at the time but didn't enjoy it. I do sometimes make a brew and take that back to bed (like this morning).

Cuppa in bed every morning courtesy of DH after he’s walked Poppy.

Odd slice of toast and if I’m having a fibro crash, sometimes early night a light supper.

I don’t mind eating in bed, but really prefer not too.

I do have one of those good wooden trays with the legs.

My husband is disabled so I have to be up when the carers call to get him up, I get his breakfast and tablets together,then when they have gone and he has eaten I take him to the toilet,

when i wake up i tend to get up but at night when i am reading or scrolling i get myself a snack like a sandwich. one of the awful habits you get when you live alone. the bungalow is small so i can see the kitchen from my bed so that does not help!

DH brings me a cuppa and a biscuit, so that I can take the first of my medications.
Otherwise, I find it too uncomfortable, eating in bed. My back protests.

However, I do not leave crumbs.

Sorry, that didn’t answer your question - no I don’t have breakfast in bed.

I stay in bed till about 9.30 -10 am. . So, by the time I come down after my morning ritual , it’s about 11 am. I then have my morning coffee and soon after, I’ll have my brunch

Absolutely not…😉

I used to enjoy a cuppa in bed , now I can only drink it if I’m sitting on the edge of the bed!

Never. DH used to make a cuppa and bring it up for me before he took all the dogs out. Now I’ve got to make it myself, I just stay downstairs. (Unless I’m poorly)

It's a no from me too - I don't even like eating my meal (on a tray) on my knee whilst watching TV in the lounge. Much prefer to sit at a table.

Coffee in bed always! I'm not keen on eating there though, crumbs! and I like to be dressed when I have the first food of the day, that's just my idiosyncrasy plus first food tends to be late morning for me. I really don't think anyone is horrible if they eat in bed though, why would they be? It's all down to personal choice.
