Eating n bed

When I was in hospital waiting to have my ankle fused I wasnt allowed to eat anything before my op. It was a ward for day surgery only so when they brought the patients back the nurses were saying would you like some tea and toast it smelt so delicious I was so hungry. When I came back after op I had 4 slices and tea. I have never had toast in bed that was as good as that nectar of the gods.

I’m disgusting I know, because I occasionally eat buttered toast and marmalade in bed and sometimes even cheese and onion crisps or custard creams.Luckily I sleep with Paddington bear so he’s happy about it.

Whats the 16:8 diet?

Savvy, it is what is known as Intermittent Fasting. Some do a 12 hour fast, and eat up to 3 meals in the other 12 hours. Others do a 16 hour fast, and eat 2 meals during the remaining 8 hours, or one can do a 24 hour fast (also known as OMAD = One Meal A Day). This helps with keeping the blood sugar in check, and is useful for controlling weight. By alternating the fasting periods, the body is kept guessing whether we are in feasting or fasting mode, so does not store the food for "hard times".

Nope. Never eat in bed! I have water at my bedside - but that's all!

I must say that I’ve only ever heard the crisp version, never the flatulence one
But this has got a certain ring;
‘I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating lasagne’

Definitely a NO from me.

I have a job getting comfortable with a book, let alone a tray of food.

Also, once ensconced in bed, it seems like too much trouble to get up and brush teeth.
I have stopped having my hot chocolate in bed for that reason.
I now drink it before bed and then brush teeth afterwards.

We used to say about somebody fanciable “I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crisps”

The original saying is:

"I wouldn't kick him out of bed for FARTING"

but I guess eating crisps is a good replacement ?

Who says it’s the original ..!?

Never- my bed is for very specific purposes, one of them is sleeping. NO food, NO tv- and don't even read in bed.

No, never

I never eat in bed but I was at a friend's house once when the dog came down from upstairs with a half eaten cheeseburger in his mouth. Busted!!?

Hate it, even if I am ill. But I cannot get out of bed without a cup or three of tea. Delivered to my by DH on a tray with teapot, strainer and milk jug. At least the day starts well.

No, can't bear it. (for me and my bed, find for anyone that likes it)

?sounds like a fun house to live in

I take a glass of wine to bed. That and a good book.

God, no. I can’t bear eating in bed. The only time I’ve done it is if I’ve been too ill to get up or when I had severe morning sickness.

Oh you are awful Granny1810 (as Dick Emery used to say )

I do like a nibble in bed ?

You'll have to be poorly, then make a miraculous recovery.

My husband happily brings me a cuppa in bed in the mornings (sometimes two if I have a long lie in) , I'd love a piece of toast too, but he moans if I eat in the bed!! The only time it's "allowed" is if I am poorly.

Love it when my daughter visits and on bdays ..she brings me coffee and a warm croissant or a pancake..such a treat..

16hrs fasting. Eat all your food in the other 8hrs

My earlier comment was in reply to Miss Adventure. The burger prised from mother's hand. I thought I'd clicked reply.

Without disclosing too much about myself the only thing I like to do in bed is sleep…

Only if I’m unwell and someone makes it for me !
