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 have worked from home for the last 2 years, probably drink about 8 cups a day. :D
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.

too many biscuts
I work from home and the tea, buscuits and chocolates are in permanant danger. I drink way too much tea, don't know if its because I want it or if its just distraaction driving me to addiction :D

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 too, if I'm at home doing uni work I drink loads +1

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 found that too. But the coffee was darn fine.

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
Only when you Irish it up you have problems :D
More caffeine in my body than blood atm.

Just back from the UK with a stash of 240 Yorkshire tea bags, bring it on!

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!
