We've all had this happen. We're rushing out of the house in the morning to work or to a meeting. We don't feel like going anywhere on this particular day, in fact we have seriously considered pulling a duvet day more than once in the last twenty minutes. To compound these feelings of utter reluctance just as we have made our minds up to tackle the day head on and walk out the door our monthly subscription lands with an irresistible thud on the front mat.

You know what it is without even having to open the envelope and every part of your being wants to cradle the publication in your arms while you make a steaming mug of tea and head back up to bed.

So what do you do?

You put the magazine to bed, that's what.

I did this the other day. I was out for the day and knew that I wanted some uninterrupted time to myself to scour the pages later on. I wanted to be relaxed, guilt free and safe in the knowledge that I wasn't going to be disturbed. So I put the magazine to bed. I made it wait for me, until I got back later on that evening.

Lo and behold it was there. Silently waiting. It had moved a smidgen due to Boo deciding to sleep on top of it all day, we can do nothing about her jealous ways, but it was almost exactly where I had left it.

I have to be honest, I felt so satisfied knowing that the magazine was in my bed waiting for me and I thought about it several times throughout the day. It's certainly no substitute for LBH but it was akin to knowing that somebody had drawn me a hot bath and was simply waiting for me to slip in.

I have to admit that I thought I may last longer than this. But these are the sorts of risks you take when you go to bed earlier than the person you live with almost every night. Mmmmmm........may have to think about becoming a night person.
