Your Morning Ritual
43 Answers
My turn to crib an idea from mrs-O, but what do you actually do every morning?
Mine is (every day)
Wake up (beat alarm clock if ringing on a work day)
move cat from legs
put specs on
get out of bed
look out of the window
Go downstairs to the bathroom, avoiding cats
Have a wee
Go further downstairs, prepare cats' medication, feed cats (to shut them up)
Go back up to bathroom, wash, clean teeth
after that is ad hoc, depending on what day it is.
What about you?

Wake up to alarm clock and dog bouncing like Zebedee round the bedroom.
Wee
Let dog out, feed cat who's usually screaming to be fed as she's eaten 3 biscuits during the night and her bowl is now 'empty'.
Sit huddled over a coffee, feeling sorry for myself (not a morning person)
The make Mini Boo's butties for school
Start the daily screaming match trying to get Mini Boo up (she's not a morning person either)
Badger her to get dressed, wash face and clean teeth ready for school.
Pony tail her hair to the chorus of "ow, ow ow, it hurts!"
Hustle her out the door
If not going to work- its home again for several more coffees.
