My name is Huw, I am not an alcoholic, I don't do drugs and you can stick bum sex up your jacksy, my question is far more embarassing...

It's DP.

He has insisted on this since I've known him - over 20 years.

He has to have tea made in a teapot, and the teapot has to have a tea cosy so he can go back time after time.

An addict, I know, but I still love him

WTF can I do? Tea cosies are vile. We currently have a very faded cack one that desparately needs replacing.

I want a plain lipstick red one but all I can find are hideous things that look like badly knitted woolly hats.

If anyone anyone sends me a link to a knitting pattern, I will kill them.

Too twee?

Peachy · 09/04/2009 22:27

Oh I'm so sorry it must be very hard living like this.

Cath Kidston? They have some sometimes I understand (not that I look you understand too bust spotting less embarassing things, like acne cream, or suppositories)

differentEggD · 09/04/2009 22:28

Get thee to Netmums.

GypsyMoth · 09/04/2009 22:28

Can't you buy one of those thermal teapot things!! No need for tea cosies then!!!

Do you have one of those knitted toilet roll covers too??

southeastastra · 09/04/2009 22:28

oh dear poor you, tea coseys aren't cool at all

differentEggD · 09/04/2009 22:29

or here

fryalot · 09/04/2009 22:30

I like a nice pot of tea myself sometimes.

how about something like this? it's not obviously a tea cosy, yet keeps your pot nice and warm.

LilRedWG · 09/04/2009 22:30

I think I'd dump him ;)

suwoo · 09/04/2009 22:30

I'd have to hide said tea pot and accompanying teacosy in the cupboard!

HerBeatitudeLittleBella · 09/04/2009 22:30

oh FFS £20 for a tea cosy?

They saw us coming

CMOTdibbler · 09/04/2009 22:30

this one is quite respectable

Or this one ?

HerBeatitudeLittleBella · 09/04/2009 22:31

and btw your dh is right, tea must be in a tea-pot.

But tea-cosies don't work, they are merely a psychological prop.

fryalot · 09/04/2009 22:31

a terrorist teapot?

This sort of thing ? It could double up as a toilet roll cover so you would get your money's worth.

differentEggD · 09/04/2009 22:32

don't mind this one, but don'[t like the price

fryalot · 09/04/2009 22:32

or this one? hee hee

HerBeatitudeLittleBella · 09/04/2009 22:33

ROFL at that knitted one

It looks like it was knitted by a drunk old biddy in a foul temper
