So where's the cup of tea emoticon then?

I see we have a new wine glass emoticon! Jolly good! But some of us would prefer a good old cup of tea.

Do you think you could cater for the likes of us too?

Lots of love,

SoMuch is supposed to be cleaning her house today too. I think I will hang around with my mates and drink tea though....

Because the house is so quiet(everyone out) I can hear the house nagging for me to clean it, I'm not having any of that am getting back to bed.

You're up early, LadyP! I had my first cup at about 7.15. Have looked at the kettle rota, and it's Len's turn today, so he will be making the hot beverages.

Still no sign of any Mumsnet cups.....

I thank you, LadyP. I will cary on the campaign tomorrow. I hope you have a good night's sleep and a refreshing cuppa!

Hear hear Norman, I might be going to bed early tonight but will be back early tomorrow to campaign afresh. Happy cuppa to you all.

Welcome, welcome and have a cuppa while you're at it!

I'm just trying to campaign for a cup emoticon, now there is a Wine one. I think it's a bit unfair on all us hot beverage drinkers.....

Not that I mind Wine but we need a bit of balance here I feel.....

We are all fine in Playmoland, thank you. Sorry not to have got back to you earlier, but my owner and SoMuch had to go out, as he had cricket training.

Now then, tea brands. SoMuch prefers PG Tips herself, and always uses leaf tea in a teapot with a tea cosy. Although she will drink any brand if at someone else's house, she's not fussy.

My mates and I drink Playmo brand tea. Smile

still no joy with any of them :(

Afternoon! How's Sunday pm on Playmobil land today?

Had to think of you this am when my 2 yo was rushing round the kitchen shouting "I want tea", "I want tea" over and over as I was sorting breakfast. I even pulled out the teapot this morning to make the tea, it had been languishing in a cupboard for eons!

Just downed a yuck cup of tea made by my BIL - too weak and too sugary. I prefer a nice strong cup of tea.

So a question for you all, what is your preferred type/brand of tea or coffee? Here it's got to be Yorkshire Tea. My Mum's a Typhoo drinker and MIL has Co-op own brand. Not trying to be snobbish or anything, it comes down to taste and I am sometimes fussy about that Wink I will of course drink any tea, esp. if someone else has made a cuppa for me :)
