Working from home this morning, and I'm finding it hard to hold back on the tea and coffee, anyone else have this problem?

I have a big cup of fresh coffee every morning, but that's all. I get manic if I get too much caffeine!

I used to chain-smoke when I work from home. No quite the same thing, but similar.

Just having a coffee now whilst I ponder why the column top temperature in my simulation is ten dgrees hotter than that measured on the UK plant, I may have to recheck the model.

I'm now back with my coffee, finishing work for today as I've got to fly back to the UK this afternoon for a fun meeting tomorrow, at least I'll be able to have a few beer in the Queens Head, Kirkby Malzeard, Yorkshire later tonight! And none of this foreign muck, proper bitter.

I'm brewing beer today, so starting to get a thirst on now! Plus, there are six easter eggs hiding from the kids, but I know where they are!


Can you hear that?

They're calling out to me......must.....resist........

Me and the missus are working at home today and I'm comfortably in the lead in the "Who will drink the most cups of tea/coffee in a poorly disguised attempt to avoid work" competition.

Tea is the best thing EVER however annoyingly they only sell the rubbish t-bags in Portugal. It’s one of those luxury items on the shopping list for when people visit.

I haven't had a coffee in nearly 4 months. I was getting way too much caffeine- having 2 teaspoons of instant in a cup, I was having the equivalent of up to 12 cups a day. No wonder I couldn't sleep.

I'm on herbal tea now- lemon & ginger, with honey. Lovely.

I tend to boil the kettle a lot but forget to make the tea as I get distracted. Have loads at work.

Yorkshire Tea, don't you need two bags each cup to get a decent strength cuppa? ;-)

I have worked from home for nearly three years and my wife buys at least three boxes of tea bags a week. She reckons I'm a chain drinker! At the moment I have three cups on my desk - one empty, one luke warm and one new one, drinking it black means you can drink it at any temperature.

We brought a box of Yorkshire Tea with us, but they didn't taste the same here, and now use PG

I think I average about 8 cups of filterered coffee a day when I'm in the office! When I'm at home i very rarely drink either tea or coffee.

I love tea but only have it at weekends.. I used to drink a flask of coffee at work, 1 litre, but stopped that and now only drink water at work and at home. Feel much better.

i cant be bothered to read through the entire thread but a nutrionalist told me that I was drinking coffee as a substitute for food as I was so busy at work and a coffee is a quick fix. Same as cigs

That's nearly enough for another 3 weeks of working from home, or are you proper yorkshire and re-use them? ;)

I love tea... depending on where I am I can drink upwards of 7 cups a day... but some days I never get the chance, I get really narky without my tea!
