    I don't drink tea so that problem only arises when my sister comes over and I haven't replaced the tea she's drank from her last visit.

    So now she normal comes with tea :)

    That incident was back in my Irish houseshare days. I had 10 bags left which was grand til my next shop, but I got up in the morning and they hadn't even left a single bag in the box! I was not a happy bunny.

    Now I get visitors to bring boxes of 180 teabags when they come over to visit.

    Well you can get proper tea but it;s not Barrys! (I think you can order it online but it is crazy expensive). I'll pick up a few boxes when I'm home in August as well.

    My boyfriend goes through the big box of barrys every week, think it's the one with 160 teabags in it, whatever is the biggest box. The odd time if we have lots of visitors (our house is like a drop in centre) we have to buy the 80 teabag box about half way through the week.

    That being said, have completely gone off tea over the last week while I've been sick. Tried again this morning and couldn't drink it. :eek:

    Think of it as a great chance to break free from the boiling water and plant leaves horribleness :cool:

    Ugh, I hate tea. They gave me tea when I was in hospital and I drank it in my morphine induced happy daze and it was rotten!

    Yep. Bear in mind I've only had sushi from a stall before. But some of my mates went a few weeks ago and thought it was fab.

    2nd day of minding nephews and so far:
    • child 1 punched child 2 in the face, causing his nose to swell up and pump blood.
    • child 1 ran off on me in a shopping centre causing me a mild heart attack. Found him after a very long 5 minutes.
    • the monopoly board has been snapped in half and monopoly money torn up
    • I have been asked "why does our mom say you're stupid and not to turn out like you?"
    • My clothes are covered in chocolate, juice and other unidentifable stains.
    • THEY NEVER STOP WANTING FOOD!!!
    Anyone want to trade? I'll give you both kids in exchange for a kitten.

    EDIT: also have been called a c**t by the 6 year old during his latest temper tantrum....

    I would bring them back to the shopping centre. Let them run off and leave. Charming kids!

    I find a b-vitamin hit at lunchtime works wonders. That and lots of water. If all else fails, coffee.

    As in a tablet hit? I have had a cup of coffee muck (office cheap coffee) and an Innocent Smoothie. Trying to hide behind keyboard as literally nodding off! Always went for a walkabout!

    I've had two cups of tea since Monday. TWO. And no coffee. For no reason other than I somehow forgot to make any. :eek:

    On the plus side, clearly I don't drink enough to have developed a dependency because there's no sign of any withdrawal headaches that people go on about.

    *goes and makes a celebratory mug of coffee*

    :D
