Eating n bed

I love breakfast in bed and one of the delights of staying in hotels is the evening drink (hopefully they have hot chocolate) and the morning cup of tea, both drunk in bed with the little packets of biscuits you get.

No I never eat in bed but do take a bottle of water up with me.

We are in a bungalow and the kitchen is right next to the bedroom so it is easy for me to have breakfast in bed. When we had an upstairs bedroom we had a Teasmade for tea in the morning but only had Sunday breakfast in bed.
I remember one General Election (when DH was away) DS1 (aged about 20) and I spent most of the night in our bed with the TV on, a pot of tea and lots of chocolate biscuits. I think that was the night Portillo went.

Not really I do have midnight munchies but downstairs I have two mugs of tea in bed morning time.
I love watching old films or Downton and the lady of the house gets a breakfast tray. I won't eat eggs unless prepared by me so mine would be an eggless breakfast. But oh what a life.

OOOH get you Gagajo.
Nope don`t eat in bed.

I don’t eat meals in bed, but I do eat snacks. The trouble with having what could be a relaxing bedtime snack is that you then have to get up to clean teeth, so not very relaxing after all.

Many years ago I was a cleaner. The lady I cleaned for used to eat pilchards or spaghetti out of the tin in bed.

I always take tea and biscuits to bed.

cornishpasty pilchards from the tin in bed, I can’t think of much more disgusting than that. I bet the sheets were something to behold, poor you having to clean that up.

Ugh!
I draw the line at pilchards.

I wondered if anyone still had a Teasmade...do they still make them? I was intrigued by ' the bedroom kettle?

Hello Bertha
It’s me who has a bedroom kettle!
I suffer from chronic pain and I have many difficult nights, so it’s nice to make ovaltine and tea at night (and the occasional Pot Noodle - kettle cuisine!)
I have milk in a little thermos, and a biscuit tin too!

Oh, and you can still get teasmaids, I bought DH’s daughter one a few years back (at her request, I must add!)
It was made by Swan I think

FannyCornforth I also have a bedroom kettle.
I use mine to make a herbal tea, so no milk required, without having to go downstairs and upset the dog.
Perfect first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

I have had Teasmaids for years. The last one I bought a few years ago I don’t use. It has a red light when you set it which stays on all night and keeps me awake. I have tried covering it with all sorts but the light still seeps out. I have tried to take the teasmaid apart to remove the bulb but can’t get in despite my best efforts. I have given up.

Back in the day my in-laws had a teas made, it seemed to make a terrible racket, and take forever to do its stuff, you could have been up showered, had breakfast, and be out of the house while that thing chugged away.

No, or only toast or soup when ill.
That’s eating....but I enjoy a large cup of tea brought to me every morning by DH who is always showered and dressed by
7 a.m.

Never eat in bed. When my husband was alive he used to bring me a cup of tea in the morning. Now just water and pain killers are on the bedside table.

I don’t eat in bed, mainly because the thought of crumbs in the bed is quite off putting. We used to have a cup of tea in bed but these days I prefer to get up. I don’t like any heat in the bedrooms so it is a lot warmer downstairs and besides we have to let pussy cat out.

Just a cuppa for me. Never take food upstairs to eat. However if breakfast were brought to me of course I'd eat it.?

I only eat in bed when I want to ensure I get reflux...so not often! Breakfast in bed would be lovely but I am a messy eater so what I would gain in the joy would be lost in the resulting washing.
My mother eats her breakfast every morning whilst lying flat on her back. We watch as she spreads it everywhere and worry she'll choke but she steadfastly refuses to sit up.

Never....

cornergran, I sometimes do the same!

No. Only if I'm really feeling ill and in bed during the day, and my family bring me sandwiches or biscuits etc.

I have toast or a sandwich.

Very rarely, I've only had breakfast brought to me in bed by my Mum on my wedding morning, and once by my husband after I'd had surgery for gall bladder removal and couldn't move for pain.
It's me who lugs up a tray of tea and toast for husband and son most mornings. I have mine perched on the end of the bed, not in it. I actually don't feel comfortable eating in bed.
Since lockdown I've had really disrupted sleep patterns: breakfast at 5 am in the garden a couple of days ago (gorgeous in the sun listening to the birdsong), and today, didn't wake up til 10.30 so now perched on the end of the bed as usual with the tea and toast!
