To have a kettle in the bedroom?

155 replies

Teaandcakepleasee · 23/11/2025 20:00

I have, as of today, fulfilled my lifelong dream… I have a kettle in my bedroom! It has always been a dream of mine to purchase a teasmaid but they are hard to find and expensive. So I’ve bought a bright pink kettle, Lakeland milk sachets, coffee sachets, tea bags and now all I need is some biscuits 🍪

I am so excited to wake up tomorrow morning 🤣 I am also recently separated and doing whatever I damn well please 🤣 Life has been shite lately so I am seeking out a little joy where I can find it 💕

Have I finally lost the plot or am I a genius?! 🤣

I also did this when DC's was little.... I used the excuse it was for making bottles in middle of the night but secretly it was for me and my cuppas 🤣

Omg I thought it was TeasMaid too!

A maid who made tea!

Only on googling do I find I'm incorrect! Who knew???

The things you learn on mumsnet!!

My bedroom is on the@ same level as my kitchen otherwise I would be stealing this idea 💡

Enjoy OP 😊

We have a little set up in our room, it’s lovely and makes my mornings so much easier on a work day and much nicer at a weekend! Enjoy yours

Ahhh enjoy. A few years ago I did a stint in some shared work accommodation before DC was on the scene. I couldn't bare going out and making a coffee in the morning so I got myself a kettle and some border biscuits and even some uht milk cartons. Woke up every morning feeling like I was in a hotel, it was ace 🤣

Bliss! ☕️

Surely it’s Teasmade? Not Teasmaid??

In any case OP it sounds blissful. Not having to schlep all the way to the kitchen for a morning cuppa? I’m sold.

Omg you are correct! All these years I thought it was Teas MAID 😆 As in a maid that made you tea lol 🫖

I have a hot water dispenser, teabags, coffee, sugar sachets and milk sticks in my bedroom.. all plugged into Alexa. It’s the best thing ever .. I say ‘Alexa, tea on’ and away she goes. I’d urge anyone to try it - game changer.

I think it would take more discipline to carry the dirty cup etc downstairs to wash. I carry enough downstairs each day already as it is.

You need a wash basket on a rope that goes down the stairs full of laundry and crockery that you reel out with gentle sturdiness from the upstairs landing, possibly with a toy kitten perched on top as lookout for when it hits the deck.

Old age isn’t all bad.

Do you have another small bowl for the tea bags and milk sachets debris in your setup, OP?

Nope, but I need one!

That’s only if your house does not pull from the mains but a tank, very very few houses have that anymore. My house is 400 years old and does not have it and I fill my water bottle from the bathroom tap regularly if I want to do it upstairs,

You are most likely right, its those old sayings and beliefs that stick in your mind. But also in my case, Giuseppe (my old plumber, dead now but a bloody good tradesmen) accidently used lead pipes instead of copper so I was recalling his words rather then telling her not to use

As soon as I read the topic I thought Teasmaid :) I'm forever going down into kitchen and bringing a cuppa up but I like the thought of it (kettle in room). Will it not be faff getting the water up there though and restocking of biscuits?

Don't you have a sink in your bathroom? It's the Same water.

I thought you'd lost the plot until you said this bit - "I am also recently separated and doing whatever I damn well please 🤣". Good for you. Enjoy!

Ha ha thanks 😆 Have I replaced my husband with a kettle?? Maybe…
