FabSwingers.com forum: What do you do before work

Do you have any morning rituals ? Other than fab of course.

I normally take care of my plants, and do a little studying. Today I’ve just repotted Indian basil and jasmine on my balcony and given them a good water. And I’ve just done 15mins CAD on a new ring I’m designing.

Even if today is total shit at work, at that’s highly likely , today has been a success already

I don't think you want to know the minutiae of my morning! But yes. I've started having honey, hot water and fresh lemon slices when I wake up. I also like to give myself fifteen minutes without any devices to just stop and breathe. Not overthinking, more... not thinking.

Up, do lunches for kids, sort out the uniforms. Start work then get them up. School run and then more work.

Rinse and repeat

Sort my 3 dogs out, make packed lunch for my eldest, make a cup of tea and have a little sit down and cuddle with my largest dog who is a cuddle monster, make a fuss of the other two. Then I make my mum a cup of tea, drive eldest to School, come home and sit and have another cup of tea with my mum. Then I go get showered and dressed for work, pop a load of washing on, and then leave the house, drop my youngest off at School and onwards, to work.

My life is soooooooo rock n roll

Depends on if I’m on earlies or lates if it’s earlies it’s usually up and out straight away to be at the yard for 5:00

If it’s lates I’ll wake up, grab a nice coffee and sit and look out if my balcony window and have breakfast. Then enjoy a nice dog walk or a run.

Coffee, troll a few celebs on Twitter, post a few hateful comments on the MailOnline, pretend to be a single mother on Mumsnet and then it's off to the day job as a life coach.

Some mornings i walk to the pool and go for a swim then take my daughter to school, others I learn a bit of Spanish while drinking my morning tea. If it's a nice sunny morning I sit in the garden and maybe take a dip in the hot tub before taking daughter to school. I like working from home... it gives me lots of time in the morning for me time

When I'm in work - breakfast, shower, coffee, dry hair, dress, teeth, leave. Usually in around 30 minutes, I love my bed too much!

When I'm working from home - up, login, check emails and deal with anything important. Breakfast, shower, coffee, dry. Check emails again. Dress, teeth, then into work mode proper. As long as all that's done before the boss is online all is well

Not a lot. Working from home, it's making a coffee to drink in bed, before sorting the dog and logging on.

If in the office, it's coffee and the normal ablutions before taking the dog to one of his harem of dog sitters before racing to the tube.

I'm much more an after work/evening person!

Walk the dogs while sipping from a mammoth coffee. I like to walk to a wood and just stand for five minutes when it’s a lovely day. A micro forest bathing session then all is good with the day.

When it’s raining I usually swear under my breathe and hurry along.

When I worked and after the children could sort themselves out I would get up, shower,drink coffee and ear breakfast, dress and apply make up then leave the house.

Now I get up, drink a cup of redbush tea, shower, dress, drink another cup of redbush and eat toast, chat to Mr N, decide what we're going to do that day, look at my plants and generally enjoy being

A colleague of mine has adapted a child's toy to automatically jiggle her mouse for up to 20 minutes.

(As I typed that I realised I didn't ask what type of child's toy this was, though I know of adult toys which could do this job perfectly

Walk the dog in the forest behind where I live - either brisk walk or run so I’m getting some exercise.

Come home and have breakfast before starting work.

It’s a lovely start to the day…

You only have to tell your child twice about getting ready?
