2. First thing, when you know you know

3. When I wake up is first thing for me.

4. 9am. The start of business hours.

5. 8-10am. If it’s a business, then within an hour or so of them opening

6. After the 1st pooh of the day. 😋

7. It depends on the situation, a friend saying this at the weekend might mean it will be their first task of the day once they’ve woken up, in which case it depends on when your friend usually gets ready to face the day. In a professional situation I would expect it to be the first thing they do once they start work, within the first half hour of their working day would be reasonable.

8. Too bloody early

9. After you wake up from doing the last thing at night.

10. If family, when they wake up / think you wake up, whichever is later. Could mean 7.30am.

    If business, at start of business hours. If they work in an office, probably 9am.

    If you give us enough information to answer this properly, it would be easier.

11. If it’s work related then within the first hour of them/you starting.

12. I would expect 8 though I would probably check their hours of operation, plenty of customer service lines open at 8 but then I’ve had some couriers deliver stuff at 7am so wouldn’t be too shocked if it was that early.
