Get up, Instead of sitting here in bed with a cup of tea and Gransnet. It's ten to nine........

Duvet day?

Christinefrance Tue 20-Dec-16 08:54:19

Why ? It's Christmas treat yourself.

The title of the thread reminded me of Joyce Grenfell and ' I must I must improve my bust ' different days.

I must go down to the sea again,
The lonely sea and the sky.
I left my vest and socks there,
I wonder if they're dry?

I am still sitting in bed and I know the burglar alarm man is coming and I am going to get caught out in my PJs.

tchgrin my thoughts entirely!!
Only in my case it''s a cup of coffee, enjoying the "lull before the storm" - cleaner due here in 2 hours (so better tidy up!) Ocado delivery, washing and ironing to do.
Can't imagine why bed is such an attractive option!

We think this is the perfect way to spend the day. Most envious

I've put flannelette bedding on my bed. Big mistake it makes it far too comfortable.

Jane10 Tue 20-Dec-16 09:15:01

I'm sitting here with my feet up and sporting my massive fluffy leopard skin dressing gown. Breakfast over, most of the newspaper perused and only the crossword to tackle. Nothing much to do today (still incarcerated). DS coming for lunch so will stir myself soonish. Maybe...

Jane10 Tue 20-Dec-16 09:16:20

morethan I've got the flannellette sheets too. So blissfully snuggly.

DanniRae Tue 20-Dec-16 09:37:26

I'm up but not dressed. I've got to catch up on Gransnet first. I can hear my husband walking about upstairs so soon he'll be asking me if I want a cup of tea? So more delays in getting on with my day while I drink another cuppa. Oh well as long as I am sorted by lunch time as our son is coming for lunch. Ever since I discovered Gransnet (last May) that is my priority now!! And long may it continue tchgrin

Sitting in the bath reading GN here! In my defence I have been out and walked the dog!!

Up since half six but feeling very morose today. No money left until the beginning of next year! Downstairs is my lively GD playing with my 32 year old son and DH. I want to dive back under the duvet but got so much to do. Last minute craft fair might earn me a bit of cash.

Sheilasue Tue 20-Dec-16 09:59:12

Lucky devils. I am up at 6 to get my gd off to school had to be in class by 8.10 so I hate rushing around get up do my breakfast and my h then wake her at 6.30 she leaves at 7.20.

Buy PJs that look like track suit bottoms and teeshirts/sweatshirts, so that you look as though you're up & about smile

Legs55 Tue 20-Dec-16 10:03:45

Up & dressed but not doing much - I can't lie in bed (too uncomfortable) so once awake I'm up, not always dressed but I am this morning, first jobs make drink, grab newspaper, feed cat, turn on laptop, check emails & facebook (Bank balance if necessary), do Sudoku then Breakfast - lazy mornings where possible. Yesterday I had to go for Blood Test followed by Podiatry at 9.30 so no lazy morning, making up for it todaytchgrin

If it's only 10 to 9 with you, I should just go back to sleep if I were you!

radicalnan Tue 20-Dec-16 10:15:33

I am almost unable to move, did some babysitting last night and have been overdosed on Troll movies, in the company of a 6 year old diva, whose picture was on front page of local paper (as she was such a hit as Mary in the nativity play)...I am entitled to time under the duvet today. I am entitled to a world cruise and a toy boy, better in my experience than flannel sheets but nowhere near as reliable.

nipsmum Tue 20-Dec-16 10:31:00

Showered, walked the dog, had breakfast, looking at Gransnet before going to podiatry AI 11 am. Tesco delivering between 1&2 pm. That's busy enough and I'll just hang out the washing . Bye.shock

I feel about as energetic as a dead flea, but I must make the effort to drive into town and get something suitable for tomorrow. I've got four old ladies coming to a Christmas coffee morning here and so far have done nothing about it.
Help!

Lynnebo Tue 20-Dec-16 10:45:23

A Toyboy, radicalnan? I evny your energy ??

Blinko Tue 20-Dec-16 10:51:22

One day when I was looking after my DGS then aged 4, struggling to get him dressed, he asked, 'Can't we have a duvet day, Grandma?' I'd never heard of it till then. Where have I been!

grandMattie Tue 20-Dec-16 11:15:13

I wish!
DH has a cold [it's man 'flu] and has been tossing, turning and coughing all night, I gave up at 3 and have been up since then. tchsad
I hope to have a nap before I give blood this afternoon!
