My husband used to bring me coffee and toast in bed occasionally, but now I walk the dogs early and he does the late walk. No more breakfast in bed. I don't eat in bed at night as I can't be bothered to get up and clean my teeth.

No I have never eaten in bed even when ill, I have always thought dare I say it rather common.

Well you can say it but it isn’t.
Look at the aristocracy having their breakfast brought to them in bed.

No food upstairs has always been a house rule, the children would sneak what they could into their rooms.
It soon stopped when the mice arrived!

No, I'd never eat in bed unless I was very poorly.

No, never, not even when ill, kitchen table or starve.

When I was a child DF used to make breakfast in bed for everyone on a Sunday morning. everyone, except me, DF and I would eat together in the kitchen (he didn't like B in B either).

I have never wanted to eat in bed but I would love an early morning cuppa but I always get up about 6.45am and Mr R never wakes up until gone 9am so never going to happen sad

Never!

Only time I eat in bed is when OH brings me breakfast on a tray. It doesn’t happen often so is always a lovely surprise.
Any crumbs remain on the plate.

Very rarely eat in bed but have 2 cups of tea every morning while watching Breakfast News and catching up with Social media.

Used to have tea and toast years ago, it was a treat, I’m up and out now.

No, never eat or drink in bed.

Used to be an advert with a family in bed together, plus dog, eating a takeaway and dropping it on the duvet.

Yuk!

Sorry, I just can't do it. Even when I'm ill, I have to get out of bed to have something to eat.

I didn't slide into bad ways until my mid 40s.
I always got up and sat at the table to eat.
Then I went downhill.

No, nothing in bed except sleeping and listening to the radio. Oh, and a cup of tea black tea first thing. Never mind eating in bed, I’ve never understood why people have TVs in the bedroom.

Only if I’m unwell. Younger son bought me one of those trays with collapsible legs for my 60th. He said he heard me admire one when I was watching Poirott. It’s one of my best presents.

We used to say about somebody fanciable “I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crisps”

I often have tea and toast in bed. Love it.

Whats the 16:8 diet?

B9exchange Thu 15-Jul-21 22:52:43

I'm on the 16:8 diet, no eating in bed for me. Doesn't apply on holiday of course...

tanith Thu 15-Jul-21 22:38:20

Never eat in bed just a cuppa first thing.

MissAdventure Thu 15-Jul-21 22:35:58

Oh I agree. smile

misty34 Thu 15-Jul-21 22:34:41

When I was first married at weekends whoever woke first would make tea and toast or even bacon sarnies and bring them upstairs. No children at the time and it was bliss eating and listening to radio. No tv's in bedrooms then. Lovely way to start the weekend.

If I can’t sleep in the early hours I’ll cook a bowl of porridge in the microwave to settle things down. No I don’t feel guilty because they say it’s good food , if you get my meaning

GagaJo Thu 15-Jul-21 22:31:48

Everything I enjoy most in life can be done in bed.

Hate crumbs. Plenty of non-shedding food available tho.

Oopsadaisy1 Thu 15-Jul-21 22:27:49

Never have and (hope) never will.
