      I guess this is the morning habit of someone on an hourly rate?

        Mainly someone trying to avoid morning traffic. Hourly or daily, if I'm in work 15 mins earlier then I'm out the door 15 mins earlier.

            Crikey, I take about 4 mins just to clean me teeth, probably close to 10 mins for a nice shower, 4 mins for a shave, and at least 15 mins for breakfast (oh, I clean my teeth after eating) They look like . Oh, then it's contacts, eye spray and moisturise time.

            I need to speed up a little. I hate rushing in the morning but this morning I was out of bed at around 7:40 and didn't leave until 9!!!
            I should have been a women. Having said that, Norrah takes 30 mins only and that includes makeup. Obviously she only needs a thin layer

              Alarm goes at 6:00 usually crawl out at 6:30. SSS, sort the dogs, breakfast and coffee, and out the door by 7:00 to be in the office by 8:30.

                Blimey. You're worse than me! Moisturise? 15 mins for brekkie?
                Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                      Yes, TFM! Saturday it chucked it down by us but Sunday was relatively clear and sunny so I was expecting a good drive this morning. Up at 5:30am and left the house at 6:00am. The A5 was pretty good but a few flakes started to drift down north of Frankfurt. Hit the A45 and it was a blizzard, down to 30km/h at times and that stretch took a good couple of hours. The A1 was pretty clear so got into work jst before 10:00am (top speed today was a paltry 190km/h) An improvement of 1 hour over last week to travel 300km.
