    My main question here is how you manage to go from waking up to out the door in 15 minutes. I need minimum 1 hour for that process.

    I can get up and leave the house in five minutes...I don't but I could. What on earth is it that's taking you an hour? Prep them the night before, or just don't do them.

    Shit, shower, shave, coffee, breakfast. Can't rush any of those things.

    Wake up. Piss. Brush teeth. Get dressed. Fuck off.

    I shower before bed, I can’t shower at 4:30 because I’d wake the missus. If I use the other bathroom I’d wake the dog up and then we’d all be awake.

    I'm a big fan of this plan due to similar constraints. I'm often in for 5.30 but go gym at 7 and have a wash.

    I don't believe that you wanted to do that. I'd go for arse at toilet bowl.

    It’s just a mess all round. I just had a crap in the evening. What’s that all about!?

    Google maps tells lies. I did the time and location on my first day which was an 8am start and a suggested 55 min journey took 1hr 15 mins, luckily I left early that day.

    Specifying a time is useless but, at the risk of stating the obvious, 8am isn’t 6am. And even then, my suggestion of allowing 15 over the suggested time would have served you pretty well.

    By pretty well I would have been 5 mins late on my first day in a new job.

    Good to lay down a marker.

    That's what he's having trouble with isn't it?

    Motion seconded.

    Do you go to bed in your work clobber and are the sort of person for whom 72 hour antiperspirant was invented?

    The Billiez looked like they had a similar morning routine if memory serves.

    Shudder.

    Work clobber is laid out in the living room ready for me to stumble in there bleary eyed and begin putting clothes on in the wrong order. Whilst swearing at the cat who has decided that if I’m awake it is obviously his normal feeding time of 8am.

    I get up at 5.45 and if not showered the evening before resort to having a wash at the utility sink so I don’t wake the wife and kids up. But they are often awake by the time I leave at 6.20 so wonder why I bother.

    Moved some money about as I prepare some January transfer window housing swoopage.

    Offer accepted yesterday, views over the River Wye. Needs a little work but will make a lovely family home.

    Solicitor instructed this morning, they got back to me this afternoon, I replied with all requests complete this evening. Let's watch the solicitors slow it all down now.
