Eating in bed

Never

Ditto.

Never

My DH brings us both a cup of tea every morning to drink in bed. After finishing the newspaper online, I get up to make breakfast and take his bowl of muesli, yoghurt and milk upstairs for him to eat in bed. I suppose I could eat my cereal back in bed too, but I sit in the kitchen watching the news on tv to eat mine.

Too many crumbs…can’t be doing with them thanks.

I think I started my downward spiral in my 40s.
Growing up, I think mum would have preferred us not even sleeping in our beds, in case it made a mess

A cuppa is the only thing I have in my bed no food ever unless I’m sick.

We had two grandchildren staying here last week.
At 7am our bedroom door opened and breakfast arrived.

A proper cushioned laptray with a cloth, china bowl with greek yogurt, strawberries and crumbled flapjack, and glass of orange juice for me, carried in carefully by 9 year old granddaughter.

A plastic bowl with red grapes and red peppers for my husband, proudly plonked on the bedside table by 5 year old grandson.

Happy days 🥰😂

No, not something I like to do. Even when I’ve been in hospital, which has been many times over recent years I have always sat out of bed for meals.

MrJ and I used to do this not so long ago, only toast and I ate in bed earlier this year with my hip debacle, not for long though.
I see nothing wrong with it, your bed, your choice.

Haven’t eaten in bed for years. A cup of tea of a morning but never toast.

It's a no here too - the only time I think I've ever eaten in bed was when I was pregnant and suffering from morning sickness. The doctor advised having a cup of a tea and a ginger biscuit before getting up, and it actually did the trick.

I was forced to do this (out of love for my children) when it was Mother's day!

No!
EVEN ONE CRUMB IS TOO MUCH!

Exactly!

Yes!
It's like reading a book in the bath.

Great when you imagine it, but not really worth the hassle.

I always think the idea of breakfast in bed sounds wonderful but the reality is very messy and not so enjoyable!

I do have a cup of tea and maybe a biscuit at bedtime sometimes though

Ah, may I ask why you can't, please?
Sheer nosiness on my part, so don't feel obliged to tell.

Lovely, what I wouldn't give to be able to have breakfast in bed
