If she thinks she can pop around my house for free cups of tea she can think again.
Cups is for people who can't handle a whole mugfull. Wussies we calls 'em.

That's why I have a mug of tea...
I don't think I've ever seen anyone have a cup and saucer of tea, to be honest.
And cappuccinos are best in a cup and saucer anyhow, 'cause they're just too sickly (when I said I didn't drink coffee, I forgot I occasionally had cappuccinos).

I haven't had a good cappuccino in a while, probably because I only have them when I go out to dinner, and I haven't been to a good restaurant in a while (wife still suffering from first trimester queasiness).

The only time I have (make that had) was when I went out with my ex to places. I had a Blueberry Muffin with them a few times with it but after a while I switched to Bakewell Tart. (yum!).

Well I drink tea at home, I only have ever had a cappuccino when I've been out and that's usually only because others are having them. Plus caffeine goes to my head and makes feel weird. And that "sharing the bath" thing... I've done that too.

Yes I know but it seems to have less of an affect on me for some odd reason. However, more than one cup of tea within a few hours of each other isn't good for me. When I was with Nicky, I used to have a lot of herbal teas as well... the mint one felt like it had cleaned my innards out.

The caffeine in tea does not have the same diuretic effect as it does in coffee, so may be that's why.

You say that but I find mint tea is the best thing to drink if you have indigestion.
And who said anything about sharing baths...?

Someone did... a few pages back. May have been Steve. And yes, I had indigestion when I had that Mint Tea (hence why I had it) and it still felt like it was cleansing my innards.

The bathing generally doesn't, Dean - it's the sandblasting beforehand that smarts

She's actually just glad that this time around is nowhere near as bad, actually she hasn't thrown up once, just feels tired all the time and nauseous a lot, although it's getting a lot better. For our first child there was a time in the first three months where she was throwing up a few times a day.

That, and a cup of tea has only about half the caffeine as a cup of coffee.

Yes, but no one says stays up all night after drinking 6 cups of tea.

You'd think they would - they'd be headed for the bathroom every 5 minutes
