I thought I was quick, I take about 15 mins to get showered, brush teeth, shave, dressed, grab things I need. Add about 20 mins for breakfast, I eat a lot of porridge 
My girlfriend on the other hand takes a lot longer, depending if shes washing her hair or not mostly. But If she does I only bother getting out of bed when she starts drying it as I'm up and out of the bathroom before shes finished usually. Then theres the straightening. Putting on bit of make-up somewhere in there. Takes time

If I'm in a rush or running late then I can be out of the house in as little as 10 mins.
Usually however I get up at 7, and leave the house at 8:10 (thereabouts), which gives me plenty of a time for a big breakfast, a shower, check my emails, do a bit of personal admin, and generally just wake up. I generally *have* to have breakfast or else I'm stuffed for the day.
I don't like rushing - despite my adrelanine filled hobbies I'm very much a take my time sort of person - guess it's my Med influence coming out.

omg i take ages!!!
i can do it in about 40 mins if i need to but otherwise i take my time!!
im up at 7am am ready to leave the house about 8.45am however, my mum does stop to talk to me and also at the moment i have a medical problem that takes about 30 mins to deal with.
it takes about 10 mins to dry my hair, then i have to straighten it which take about 15 minutes as its so long.
depends how tired im feeling !!!
edit: comparing it to when i lived with my bf i take longer at my parents house. i seem to have this lazy feeling all the time. whereas at the flat i had so much energy and i could get ready a lot quicker.

Well I give myself an hour, I wake up and totter about for like 5 minutes, have a shower (10minutes) turn pc on get clothes on and watch gmtv (15 min) eat breaki (10min) Get bags togther, make up on, shoes on, feed the dog (10min)
so like 50 minutes, then it takes 8 minutes to walk to the station!
It sounds a lot compared to some people but i hate rushing in the morning, but if i have to rush i can get ready in 10!

Women getting ready in under an hour is an Internet Myth.
You are all just perpetuating that myth.
I think we may have to send some one round to watch and check the accuracy of these posts.
I nominate you Malc30 to visit the houses of these women and check that they have showers and wash their hair inside these fictious claims of 'under 1hr'. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it.

If he cleans my bathroom while he's there I'm game.

I usually get up about an hour before I set off, but it's not really spent all getting ready. I tend to eat and laze about, maybe watching some TV before actually getting sorted to leave.

I am the same, if hair needs washing thats an extra ten mins, otherwise its 30mins and out the door.
Same if going out, if its a last minute decision i can usually work it
Contact lenses are the only probs I have, and I don't faff too much with make up. Am lucky to have straight hair too.

Zip said:How long does in normaly take you to get ready in the morning before you go out?
Im just curious what the average time would be.
I know some people that spend about 1-2 hours on just their make up every morning
But then there are the other that take about 5-10 minutes including showering
So whats your average time to get ready?
Takes me literally 10 mins from getting out of bed, washing up and brushing my teeth then getting ready. Dont make my hair as its cut quite short and as for shaving i always shave while im in the shower...usually the night before. I dont have time to jump in the shower first thing in the morning as i tend to set my alarm to ring at such a time that when im out the door...i still manage to get into work on time
. Also manage to grab a muffin on my way out the door then get a carton of juice from the shop on the way to the tube station.I dont get why it takes some people a long time to put contacts in....you guys ever heard of disposable ones or better still the monthly wearable ones??
....since i started wearing them i find its much easir to get up and go without having to arse about putting them in lol.Saying that though, my gf takes a good hr and half before shes out the door....how she manages to get to work on time is beyond me

Damn, it takes me hours to get ready! I'm sure I've said this on here before in the past somewhere.
When I get up in the morning I go straight to the shower, where I can spend up to 45-60 mins. Then I come out the shower, usually Iron my clothes, doesnt matter If there not really creasy, I don't like leaving the house without them being ironed first, then I'll go and put deoderant on, and brush my teeth, which I spend about 10 mins doing :| then I'll go and put my ironed clothes on, which I take my time doing, then I go and do my hair, which sometimes takes me about 15 mins. I take agesss, and I'm great at being late because of this. I get up at 6 in the morning, and still miss a bus at quarter past 8.
I just.......can't help it
