To secretly purchase an old Teasmaid?

[Spannerweb]

Would it be a tad unreasonable or downright horrid to secretly purchase an old "Teasmaid" and place it beside my husband's side of the bed?

He never wakes up when the sodding alarm goes off and I always end up having to clamber over him as if I am a contestant on The Krypton Factor.

how will teasmaid help?
am i being thick

Oooooh is it a goblin teas maid?

Ggirl ? you?ve clearly never experienced a Teasmaid have you?

They?re exceptionally, unbelievably loud; so loud that when they go off, you lose all ability to get your head together enough to be able to switch it off and spend five minutes in sheer panic.

YANBU, but as spanner said, they are the noisyest most discombobulating things known to man.

Ooooh! I want one. Takes me right back to being very tiny and having snuck into my parents' bed!

YANBU, get one!

I like the idea of a teasmaid, but unfortunately don't like the idea of milk being left out all night ... unless you can get those little tubs of milk with a tear off lid.

Going to get fresh milk out of the fridge seems to negate the whole cup of tea without getting out of bed idea.

As for using it as an alarm, there are probably cheaper, noisier alarms you could buy.
