Do you have your own routine?

I have a routine imposed on me by lifestyle. I have to feed and tend to animals at fair times, for example. This is further complicated by sun rise/set times...so, different times through out the year.
For example, this morning I did not let the chickens out until eight, my dogs had eaten by then and weren't taken down to the field for a quick run until after that.
In the summer, we will let chickens out, go for a longer walk, then come back and the dogs will help me feed everyone else and do chores before eating their breakfast.0 -
I tend to have routines. I do the same things on a set day each week. I would like to be more spontaneous, bit it always ends up in the same routine.
Although, I went up to London today, and had a completely different sort of day to my normal Tuesday. I've had a great day, so maybe my lesson today is to get out of the routine of day to day life.Early retired - 18th December 2014

I like to get home and have 5 mins to myself, have a pee. take off trousers and pants first obviously and put on joggers. Hang trousers on the radiator ready for tomorrow so they are warm. Then Sofa.
I like to see my parents on a sunday and laundry on a thursday.
When my gf at the time stayed at mine sunday til tuesday it threw me right out. I came home and she was there. Couldnt have my five mins as she wanted to talk about my day and hers.
Saturdays I like to walk to the high street and get a coffee and thats it.

My parents had such a set routine (tea at breakfast, coffee mid morning, tea after work, coffee mid evening) that when I asked for a cup of tea instead of coffee one day, my dad thought I was pregnant!
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I have a weekday routine and a weekend routine.
Weekday: up, shower, dress, make mine & DD's lunches, make breakfast, off to work.
Weekend: up, leisurely breakfast, then coffee on sofa with my OH and we discuss the weekend, have more coffee, read the post and discuss that, discuss the neighbours, realise it's then gone lunchtime and ponder where the morning went :rotfl:

Wow if I had that many meals I would go pop. Are they awake at dawn and up till late into the night? I cant imagine fitting that much food and drink into a standard day _pale_The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.0 -

Well they've been doing up the house since before xmas and haven't actually moved in but have been there every day so we don't actually know an awful lot about them. Enquiring minds need to know!
What we don't know, we'll guess. :rotfl:
(on a serious note it's all light-hearted stuff and "doesn't get mentioned outside these four walls" type of thing)0
