Making tea in my bedroom

I used to make tea in the bedroom, and wondered why I had stopped, as it worked well. I realise it was because we got two cats. I have to go downstairs to see to them, and I make our tea at the same time. Then we all go back to bed.

We have a teasmade.Love my 2 cups of tea before I get up. However I once forgot to fill pot before I came upstairs at night & used water from bathroom. Tea was undrinkable- really nasty . I really don't advise using it.

Am I the only person who doesn't eat and drink in bed?

Riverwalk, no you are not alone. When I wake up in the morning my first thought is bathroom. Then to stagger downstairs to make coffee. I am in awe of those of you who can wake then enjoy a cup of tea before anything else. (Not envious though. Hate tea.)

Need boiling water to make tea, not just hot.

Riverwalk, I would have agreed with you a couple of years ago.
Now I am older and frail.......It is such a comfort to make tea in my bedroom. Especially if I am awake in the night and the heating is off. (I have a seperate heater in my bedroom) Maybe when the good weather finally arrives I will feel differently. I have to admit it is a FAFF.

DH _loathes+ me drinking anything in bed. As I wake up long/hours before him, i am usually to be found downstairs with my cuppa.... so river you are not alone!

or reading, if he's asleep for that matter...

I like a hot drink before I go to bed, rather than wen I wake. I just make the drink in the kitchen and carry it upstairs.

There used to be random stories about dead animals in water tanks and such.
That happened with friends of ours in a house they rented; they were very ill then discovered a dead bird in the water tank in the attic.

Solved my water problem. Sainsbury's 2ltr mineral water is only 20p. I ordered 2 with my online grocery order. That should do the trick.

A friend of mine was saying they have a nesspresso coffee machine that they can work from their phone , so they can tell it to make a coffee while they are in bed and then go down and get it when it's ready.

When we bought our present house we had all the central heating changed and boiler, changed to a combi boiler ( water comes from mains.) I won't tell you what was in the old water tank in the loft ugh! So, please don't drink from your bathroom tap!

I'm another who never drinks in bed other than sips from a bottle of water during the night. I'm always up around 5am anyway. When we had the kitchen done before Christmas I brought the coffee maker, the kettle, food and cat food into the living room so that I would be able to carry on as near normal My mum had a teas maid in her bedroom - as they lived in a bungalow I never understood the reason!
