Being Mentally Normal: The Theory and The Actuality

[Mitchy1nge]

we must be on part 11 or something by now?

I know, I'm one of your lurkers.

Because it's hidden I forget I have lurkers so obviously say far too much.

Anyway, moving on from my attempts at being MNs neediest poster, who wants a tea? Or blackcurrant gin?

I stopped taking my AD before I was mentally normal, because I had no control over eating and put on 3 stone. This wasn't a very sensible move, retrospectively, in fact, I think I'm going to have to go back on them

Both please, Caulk!

Tea please, I've got hot choc and summer fruits squash already (greedy ).

The gin is lumpy, just so you know.

Would love a coffee I'm only being different to be awkward

Yes, I wish I'd had the sense to go somewhere else rather than the permanently archived MH

I keep lurking in the giving birth thread, God knows why, as DD's birth was hellish and I ain't doing it again

Fresh or instant?

Don't care as long as it's hot and wet

You can have instant then if you don't care either way!

Going back a few pages it was rare fillet Enpo. With garlic potatoes and purple sprouting broccoli.

Oh god rare fillet I haven't had fillet steak for so long.

At home I drink filter coffee - the stuff in the grinder at the moment is Java Sumatra - black, one sweetener. How about you Caulk?

Just black, in an aeropress if it's just me or cafitiere if others as well. It's a Monmouth one currently, I swap between that and a caravan one. At work I have pact blue mountain and a v60.

I worked in coffee for years so am a self confessed snob.

I have nespresso machines at home and at work. I know coffee snobs will berate me for it.

Are the nespresso machines good?

NOOOOOOO!

They're fine Snowy, I was tempted when I saw them reduced in currys today.

My mum remembers all of everybody's drinks preferences. She knows I like semi or full with one sweetener in the coffee from my dad's espresso machine, cappuccino with one sweetener when at a cafe, black with one sweetener for filter, double strength with semi or full and two sweeteners for instant coffee, and skimmed milk with one sweetener in tea. Except Earl Grey which I drink unsweetened with no milk. Even DP doesn't remember; I don't know how she does it.

Did you know earl grey is the only tea grown/made/whatever specifically for being drunk with milk?

Thanks caulk!

I think nespresso machines are great, decent coffee with no mess. No coffee after 3pm for me though. Plays havoc with my sleep. Coffee is drunk black while tea (always Assam) is strong with a splash of skimmed milk.

All births are hellish Millie. Podding off a being that has parasitized you for the last 9 months, either by horrendous genital expulsion or by even more horrendous traumatic surgical removal?

Aaaaaargh

I think the bergamot makes the milk taste weird

I've eaten three candles whilst chatting so really, what do I know?!
