    I think the last time I had breakfast in bed was Mother's Day, 2009.

    Never! I'm always first up.

    me, its big tret, because most mornings I'm up really early, so he does that for me and brings me a big mug of coffee a seven ish, or whenever he finishes,the morning rounds here. This morning it was tea beause I'm off coffee, and soe raspberries from the garden in a bowl. We very rarely eat anything that would make cumbs, but as somene who HADto eat meals in bed due to prolonged ill health it really is possible to eat in bed neatly...you don't automatically become an animal and messy when you eat away from the kitchen or dining room! In fact, so far this weekend we haven't eaten in the dining room...we had a sitting room floor picnic both friday and yeserday. Tonight its ''proper'' food which requires plates and cutlery, so it'll be at the table.
  • Never - I don't eat breakfast, and I don't like the idea of eating in bed anyway.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Every day :) tea and toast and a hot water bottle to help me unstiffen and line my stomach to take the medication to help me move.
    Yes I'm very lucky.
    Every day above ground is a good one ;)
  • I would love breakfast in bed but unfortunately I always wake up first.
    Although my son did set his alarm for 6am one mothers day to bring me breakfast in bed....but I was already up and downstairs, bless him atleast he tried.

    The only time I can ever remember getting breakfast in bed was when I ordered room-service in a hotel.

    I certainly do...start the day with a mug of hot water and on the few occasions I do eat something at that time in the morning, always brush my teeth again before work.

    Saliva dries up at night leaving the mouth a breeding ground for nasties, the smell should give you a clue, so swallowing this is undesirable. How would you like to talk to someone let alone snog someone who clearly hasn't brushed their teeth in the morning? IMO it's as bad as eating with an am-breath mouth.

    I always have breakfast before cleaning my teeth.
