For the first time since I've had children I'm actually doing something right!!!

This is the best news in weeks!

I'm doing something right!

Dh will be saying I told you so.
Ds made my parents ptsl by asking politely for a pot of tea for one when out on a day trip recently

a boy after my own heart

dd3 loves tea

Mine both already love Redbush but ds is ready to stand up and be counted on the leaded front

Thank God for good news!

Why today!!!! I ran out of teabags last night, I've got two little mindees today, no car and its pouring with rain, so I couldn't have a cup of tea if I tried! I'm gagging for a cup of splosh!

Enid, but if she is like dd you could be drinking hemlock and they'd still "like" it...if mummy is enjoying it, then it has to be good. And worth stealing

"Dr Ruxton's team found average tea consumption was just under three cups per day."

Wimps!

Jolly good! I have been known to average 10 cups a day .

Enid, I'll have some Yorkshire if there's any going thanks.

When picking DS1 up from nursery last week I was told by a concerned member of staff that he had asked for a cup of tea with his lunch, and that tea isn't really a suitable drink for a 2yo. When I stopped laughing I explained that baby drinks from a bottle or spouty cup, and grown ups pass 'proper' cups to each other saying 'cup of tea love', so he thinks the vessel with a handle and open top is called cup of tea even if there is milk in it! Did make dp and I wonder if we drink far too much tea though.

I got really really excited until I read the last line...

"The Tea Council provided funding for the work. Dr Ruxton stressed that the work was independent."

Now I don't know what to think.

OK - who has the max per day of tea? Me about 10 cups. Trump that.

I have 2 before school, one after. One at 11'ish, one at lunchtime, one after school, one after mindees have gone home, one after dinner and possibly 2 in the evening. How many's that.....Oh same as you, 10!

Snap then.

yay for tea!

i'm putting the kettle back on

yay ds loves a nice cup of tea

I love tea. A friend of mine finds me most amusing because I always offer coffee in the mornings and tea in the afternoons. She never drinks tea otherwise.

However I'm quite happy to drink gallons of water too. I'd struggle to drink 2.5 litres of tea... Also not easy to go running with a tea pot.

i knew there was a reason i am hardly ever thirsty! and why i look so youthful

I would like to add that while I only drink about 6 cups a day...my cups hold just under a pint!
