  • Ohhhh that's not good!

    Have you had the heating on or have you just put it on when you've come in?

    I've had a cuppa and feel a bit better :)

    I've also written a new blog entry, to take my mind off it.... ;)

  • *sigh* your porridge puts mine (a dollop of golden syrup) to shame :o:o - they all look fab! I really must buy some peanut butter and try it!

    I'm warmer too - had a cuppa with my dinner (not something I usually do) and it's warmed me up nicely & I've actually had to take my scarf off:eek::D

    It's funny as I'm not a huge tea drinker - have a few in the office during the day but not really at home. I think it's partly as the water here is absolutely horrid - I use bottled to drink but can't really afford to use that for boiling too......

    Being in the house all the time, I am drinking more tea :) (even if only to stay warm) and I'm actually enjoying it more!

    I'm trying different teas to see if I can find one that tastes OK with my water - just about to finish a box of York*shire (which is not bad :)) and have a M&S one to try next .... and something else after that (all only 80 bag boxes but pointless buying a big box until I know it's OK & I'll drink it).

    I'm definitely a yorkshire tea lass :D love it!

    And seriously, get some peanut butter, some frozen berries and try that porridge! It's SO good.

  • mmmm I didn't even realise the berries had been frozen!

    How long do you have to defrost them before using them?

    You don't! Well, I get them out of the freezer frozen and pop them into the microwave for about a minute - that's what creates all the lovely juice :D
