Did I mention I HATE getting up in the morning?
I am,sooooooo not a morning person. That being said I'm up at 4:30am!!! I do set an alarm, but I wont mention what I do when I first wake up, but after getting out of bed, I make it and head to the shower. I generally have a coffee at my abode and then pick up another on the way to work. I generally check email first, then maybe some blogs. My morning are leisurely, hence why I get up so early. I hate being rushed.
ReplyDelete1. No I am usually woken up from the noise downstairs in the cafe or the London traffic outside. 2. Run a bath.

4. Probably text messages.
5. Generally not too rushed.
