Eating n bed

Used to have tea and toast years ago, it was a treat, I’m up and out now.

Very rarely eat in bed but have 2 cups of tea every morning while watching Breakfast News and catching up with Social media.

Only time I eat in bed is when OH brings me breakfast on a tray. It doesn’t happen often so is always a lovely surprise.
Any crumbs remain on the plate.

Never!

I have never wanted to eat in bed but I would love an early morning cuppa but I always get up about 6.45am and Mr R never wakes up until gone 9am so never going to happen

No, never, not even when ill, kitchen table or starve.

When I was a child DF used to make breakfast in bed for everyone on a Sunday morning. everyone, except me, DF and I would eat together in the kitchen (he didn't like B in B either).

No I have never eaten in bed even when ill, I have always thought dare I say it rather common.

No, I'd never eat in bed unless I was very poorly.

No food upstairs has always been a house rule, the children would sneak what they could into their rooms.
It soon stopped when the mice arrived!

Well you can say it but it isn’t.
Look at the aristocracy having their breakfast brought to them in bed.

My husband used to bring me coffee and toast in bed occasionally, but now I walk the dogs early and he does the late walk. No more breakfast in bed. I don't eat in bed at night as I can't be bothered to get up and clean my teeth.

I regularly eat a Pot Noodle (preferably chicken and mushroom) in bed, made using my bedroom kettle

Pass the smelling salts to Billybob!

A pot noodle!
That's beyond the pale, young lady.

I never eat or drink in bed,I only have white or cream bed linen and would be fearful of staining it,

Since I retired I have always had breakfast in bed, (muesli or porridge and tea). On Sundays we have egg on toast. By the time I get up I have also watched the news on TV, done emails and Facebook and caught up with GN.
Sorry if that makes me 'common', I thought it made me like aristocratic ladies on country house weekends, when married ladies had a breakfast tray brought to them in bed.

A) it doesn’t make you common I agree
B). What an outdated word anyway

I often eat breakfast lunch and dinner in bed not feeling well enough to get up. I would love to be sitting at the table.

But never pot noodle.

I take my youngest a bacon sandwich in bed. The others say he is spoilt

I am at the burger and the son story!

Yes. When I’m ill my husband brings me all sorts of foods to try to tempt me, but if I’m ill enough to stay in bed then I’m usually too ill to want to eat. Fruit (melon, grapes, strawberries) is usually his best bet, but if I’ve been sick then it’s dry toast. He knows I’m on the mend when I ask for a slice of toast with marmite.

No, I nibble in the kitchen. Never eat in bed, never drink anything but water in bed. The dog has a water bowl in the bedroom as well as two downstairs, but I wouldn't give her biscuits in my bed either!

One of the greatest pleasures of retirement for me is to have my first coffee of the day in bed - I get up and let the dog out, feed him and then get myself and my son a coffee each to drink in our beds. Heaven, it feels like a little luxury every day! I don’t eat in bed though.

Too afraid of indigestion and spillage to be worth the bother.
Got to carry it all upstairs, then down again.
I'd also invariably forget something, or drop the butter knife, with butter on it, straight on the hair and dust bobble on the stairs.
Am I over thinking it?

I agree Lucca, the opposite of “common”. I think that’s why I can’t do it. Mother insisted you were up and at the table or you didn’t eat. I can just hear her. “Who do think you are? Lady Muck!”
