What's your morning schedule?

[EthelF]

Alarm at 6, pushed out of bed by kids in search of their morning milk by 6.30 at latest. Pack bag & help prepare breakfast, get bikes out of garage and leave them by the back door, then wave off Mrs Ethel around 7.15, when the real challenge starts: getting the kids dressed and ready, finding their shoes, and inserting a whimsical toddler into her backpack carrier.
Try to leave house by 7.50 as nursery opens at 8, usually successful by 8. Then a short 5 minute walk wheeling my bike with daughter on my back and son disappearing ahead on his bike.
Leave nursery at 8.10-8.25, for a 13-17km ride to work, depending on the time and weather - if I have time I sneak in a lap or two of Battersea Park, but need to leave the park at 8.30 to be at work for 9. Shower, at desk by 9.20.

6 hour round trip every day??!!!!!

No, I go the long way in the morning, evening is usually 1 - 1.5 hours depending on what time I leave work

 

[summerdays]

Mr summerdays alarm goes off at 6:20, but I'm usually awake already. Quick look at the iPad to check emails etc. I hate getting out of bed before Mr Summerdays, so usually get up 5 mins after him about 6.55 am. The get dressed, start my porridge off, make youngest's sandwiches and mine. Run around making a coffee and grabbing bits wondering why I didn't get my bag ready the night before. Leave the house at 7.20 ish (depending on how unorganised I am). Get a lift for the first few miles and then commute by bike about 9 miles. Arrive at work and switch straight into work mode though grab a coffee if I can.

Bit of advice for everyone that gets dressed and makes tea as the computer boots (including my work one). Make sure you don't upgrade to Windows 8.1 and a fancy machine, they boot in about 10 seconds.....

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

until I quit my job 3 years ago it was up at 5:45am 5 days a week, eat, make lunch, collect swim kit from hall radiator and out of the house for 6:45am latest. Arrive at work for 7:30am (8.5 miles cross country off road on a mtb) and go for a 1km swim, shower, eat again and in the office at my desk for 8:30am - there was a slight alternative which was gym or swim at lunch as well depending on how bad the day in the office was - really bad meant I went swimming again at lunchtime just to get away from everyone... leave at 5pm, change cycle home...

Now (although I don't have a paid job) 3 times a week it is up a 7:30am, nebuliser, eat and out of the house by 9:00am and at my parents' home by 11am... then leave around 4pm to be back at home for 6pm...

Yup. Just bought one at home. It's a top end laptop but it's frightening in speed. Switch on, look round, it's ready to go. I didn't believe it either. And it doesn't have an SSD. With one of those..... Blimey
