    I'm lucky if O/H brings me a cup of coffee - probably about once a year, if that. Breakfast in bed only if I'm in a hotel and order room service, then someone else gets to clean up the crumbs!

    Toast and tea probably once or twice a fortnight. On the days my OH has work he'l bring me in tea and twice a week nip to Starbucks across the road and bring me in a latte :o If my OH has a day off then I'm up wayyyy before him, he'l get breakfast in bed those days, but it's nearly always lunch...

    When I lived at home, 6 o clock every morning my dad would bring a mug of tea and 2 slice of toast to my bedroom door, even though I'd continually tell him, I'd never be awake!!
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.
  • Living on my own I never get made breakfast in bed unless I make it myself and take it back to bed!

  • i dont but i quite often make my gf breakfast in bed.
  • My husband brings me a posh coffee most mornings, and on my birthday and mothers day he either makes pancakes or takes the kids out to get me mcd's brekkie while I lie in. I consider myself v. lucky indeed.

    I love my bed far too much!!! :)

    I am a grumpy cow when it comes to wake up time and I honestly cannot speak to anyone in the morning until I have had a cup of tea! :eek:

    OH is different, he can go without a cuppa and I used to get up (very reluctantly!!) and go downstairs and make a cup of tea... but then for Valentines day this year I bought OH a teasmade!! :D Honestly was the best £70 I have ever spent!! :D

    I have my cuppa on timer and get up every weekday and make breakfast for OH and our three kids (12, 4 and 3).

    We normally take turns at weekends for breakfast in bed...although the last couple OH has got up and made it and brought it up for me both days! :cool:

    Umm nope, not even on mothers day, my birthday or if im sick! Have had a cup of tea in bed a couple of times (mostly when im sick and start banging the floor with a book). Have made DH breakfast in bed a few times and often a cup of tea in bed, but thats because he works shifts and hes a right grumpy bum when you have to wake him up, so a cup of tea distracts him :D
