Weather depending? Or no matter what? I sometimes cycle during the summer because I can take all the back streets and stay off the roads all the way to work, wouldn't bother if I had to take the same route as the car.

Vast majority of the time yeah, if the weather is horrific I'll get the bus though.

Alarms go off from 7.35 to say 8.20 ( three alarms) depending how many times I hit the snooze button. Shower and get dressed, try to leave for work by ten to nine but it's usually 9am before I leave, therefore arriving late at work, but as I'm such an organised worker :cool: my boss doesn't mind.
Packed lunches/clothes are all done the night before as I'm an owl and not a lark.

Breakfast at work at around 11 am (cold porridge and grated apple or pear is the current fave).

Never understood this. If my alarm goes off I get up.
I understand that people use them as they wouldn't exist otherwise but once my sleep has been broken I might as well be up.
May be doing you a disservice here but weren't you one of the members of the Dave Herbal 25 hour day cult?
 
Up at 7.00. Make bed, shower, dress, feed the kids, feed and let the dog out, drink coffee, out of the house at 8.10, cycle to work, arrive by 9.15, shower, dress and at my desk by 9.30.

You need to ease yourself into the day man, consider it a stretching of the hamstrings before entering the field of play. I need about 20 minutes of anger and denial before finally accepting the parties over and I need to get my arse out of bed for another day of shitty work. After all that I need at least ten minutes in the shower staring blankly and desperately at the tiles on the wall before I'm in any fit state to face the day.
 
If I'm on early shift then it's up at 4am get something to eat, shower then get clothes on and out the house for about 4:45am to drive to the train station. 35 minutes on the train, then a 10 minute walk to work. Once in work, get kitted up and I'm on the floor for about 5:50am ready to go.
 
Up at 5.50. Shower, dressed.

Mrs gets the bairn ready and I am in the car driving the bairn to the childminders for 6.45.

I'm in work for 7. Have a coffee and breakfast at work.

I used the theory of conning myself into going to work. I was already on the Metro before I woke up and realised it was a bad idea.

I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen.

I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea, and I think about leaving the house.

This. Can't see the point myself. Just set the alarm later and have more proper sleep.

you're doing that all wrong mate. Bog first, then shower.
 
My ideal morning routine

Wake up at 7am, make breakfast, get to the gym for 8, do 45 minutes of cardio, get showered, be at work for 9:15

My actual morning routine

Wake up at 9:15, scramble into the shower, throw clothes on, skip breakfast, shout at traffic lights and scrape into work for 10:00

What kind of a f***ing monster are you?

Do you want your breakfast to taste of Colgate or something?

What a fruitloop

Nah, only children (like yourself) have fruitloops for breakfast.
