I've bought myself a coffee machine
I've been wanting one for years
I usually just prefer my tea
But I find that coffee cheers
Midge decided it's her friend
And couldn't admire it more
I forgot to put my mug in there
And it piddled on the floor

Good morning Mr.D and you notice I'm an early 🐿 today! I'd love a coffee machine but they can be pricey. I wonder if you totally splashed out on a super-dupa, all singing and dancing machine? Oh, and a witty rhyme taboot !!🐿💕
• in reply toSquirrelsHolt
This is early, for you SH. 😉 I hope is doesn't mean you didn't sleep well. No I chose a basic model that just does one cup using pods, of which I have many, having over-clicked on the Amazon site. It works well, I just forgot to put my cup and the drip tray back after messing about with it.🙄

Oh golly .... boys with new toys syndrome i suspect here! How.much did it all cost with say a months worth of pods? Can it do the frothy milk thingy ....you know it makes the "ssshhh, ssshhh" sound!🐿💕
• in reply toSquirrelsHolt
Ah, you know me so well SH. The machine cost £35, Mr Amazon will tell you the price of NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Coffee Pods, it depends which of 40 varieties you want.
SquirrelsHolt• in reply to
Yes! I think you've made my mind up and it's time for me to let some moths out of my purse and give Amazon some ££'s.(the mere thought of making a purchase over £5.99 makes me sweat with fear 😫 and the anxiety levels are rising as i type, lol!). No i must overcome this and just DO IT.😁 ☕. I did laugh at the kitchen mishap you had only because i was imagining the water spurting out and Midge 🐶 enjoying every minute ! So as soon as I've ordered my Mr.D prompted coffee machine, you'll hear about it 📢🐿💕

Don't hold me to account if you don't get on with it. I merely told you about it, I didn't recommend it. Mind you I am enjoying messing with it and the coffee is good, but I suspect it isn't the cheapest way of making coffee. I'd better not tell you about my food chopper-upper which I also bought, else you might rush off buying one of those as well. (Brieftons QuickPush Food Chopper £18.49)😉

Ohhh I've got a smaller version of that chopper Don and it's brilliant, so easy to use and clean, saves all the hassle of either hand chopping or getting the electric thing out and plugged in.... I hate cleaning it so rarely use it. I'm going to check out your model and get one if its bigger . 😄
Silly chump. Xxxx

That was nothing compared with what followed. I thought the kitchen sink plug hole smelt a bit and needed a clean. So I unscrewed the screw holding the plate in place and removed some gunge from under it. Having done that I flushed lots of water down there thinking it would clear rest away, not realising that the screw also held the pipe under the sink tight against the sink. It was only when the water started rising up my ankles that I realised the water was going on the kitchen floor not out to the drain. Midge didn't warn me, she was splashing around in it thinking she was on the beach I think.

🙄 my dad would do that but he doesn't have a Midge to paddle (or piddle).

No, I am truly blessed. 🙂

I can just picture the scene!
Perhaps you could use the bicarbonate of soda/ white vinegar/ boiling water method.
It’s not as exciting as your way,but doesn’t require mopping up.
On a positive note,your kitchen floor will be extremely clean.
Thank you so much for the entertainment.
PS. Since I have been on immunosuppressants my tastes have changed,I don’t fancy coffee any more,hope you and Midge are ok.
Jaybird19• in reply to
Years ago I did that too but didnt get any warning till later.
Oops
now there is a bit of a smell occasionally but darent try that again
I mean if there is a screw visible it is asking to be investigated, isnt it?
Oshgosh• in reply to
I e just re read this to cheer myself up. Thanks Don
No wonder Midge admires the machine! Lol that really made me laugh. Xxxx💞🥰😘
Great aren't they. I got myself a basic George Clooney machine in 2017. It makes such a good 'crema', froth on the top you don't need the all singing all dancing paraphernalia, just heat milk in the microwave & hey presto, treat of my day.
Enjoy yours, I suppose you won't forget to put the cup underneath in future 😉
PS if you have the same as me with the little pods did you know that the company recycle them. You just collect about 200 in their free bag and either take them to a 'boutique' or get them collected off your doorstep x
What is a George Clooney machine? Does it make replica George Clooneys? Just add water 🤔
I wish! 💓
Oy michael,you are in the middle of nowhere so don't go ordering one to be delivered by Amazon primal in the hope of getting a slice of George,anyway i believe he is happily married?

We have a coffee machine, but I prefer instant. Much simpler. Tea? Yes we drink red tea (Roibus) sorry for the spelling. 😏🙄
• in reply to
Well I likes me gadgets. 😘
Oh Don ! But you are not the only one,
Well master Po you disappoint me i thought you as British As can be
Content with builders mugs of very hot and strong sweet tea
And now i find you have gone continental with all the fancy coffee stuff
I may seek another Master as this really is not good enough
What next i fear we will hear talk of croissants and French bread
The very thought of this transformation is filling me with dread.

I would say best one yet SirSki - rhyme that is - the Cap'n is quite right - oh some results due next week - please keep digits crossed for me and anything else you can think of . . . x
Oh majji.love of my life,so nice to hear from you and i have every digit,even the ones enclosed in my smelly socks crossed as i type,which makes typing rather difficult.thankfully the furry one has vacated my lap which does make things easier. xx
Lol SirSki - I assume you are refurryng to your wonderful feline lady . . . .? Good to hear from you both SirSki xx I will try to update you and the Cap'n next week.
Who else do you think would be sitting on my lap you wicked lady? you know i worry when i don't hear your wisdom and wit on the site so please do your best to do so. xx
I shall try SirSki, energy levels not at peak flow at the moment - certainly not enough to run through the list of possible lap sitters lol . . . . x
🤞👣
Thank you HH - now that's what I call keeping everything crossed !
I thought I replied to your lovely crossed items HH - possibly not on this site lol -unless SirSki has them crossed on his lap - I thank you HH and hope all is well with you x
How can I speak on things of which I know nothing?

I have applied for an extension for you Cap'n xx
Ha! So funny, how do you think them up Don . I have a little stove top coffee pot which I love and have a couple of cups on my lazy mornings x
Oh, I love it so much I'm still laughing as I'm typing!
I bet midge thought that was magic
My son bought me a whizzy one but I’ve gone back to instant. Tenement tastes they call it up here when you prefer cheap rubbish. That’s me!
Tenement tastes eh? That’s a very expressive term. 😂Well there’s still room in the cupboard under the stairs for mine. But I think it’s ease of use might save it, it is but a simple thing.😀
I am granting you an extension Cap'n xxx
Brilliant
I like coffee ☕ too Don. But I haven't got a machine. I hope you enjoy your new gadget. xx 🙋🐶
Don you made me laugh!
Maybe you should invest in the latest mop and bucket technology whatever that is instead of fancy coffee machines. I love my coffee and have been using a simple Italian coffee pot called a Bialetti for years. Had to upgrade to a stainless steel one when had an induction hob fitted. Also use a Lavazza milk frother. Together they make perfect cappuccino.
Happy coffee drinking (without mishaps)
Love
Corin
All this talk of coffee pots reminds me of something that happened about 50 years ago. My brother gave us one of those little pots you put on the stove - water in the bottom, coffee in the top and the water gets hot and bubbles up into the top - you know the ones I mean. Well we had never come across one before and were intrigued by it. We were pretty broke at the time but out we went and bought some coffee to go in it, set it up on the electric ring and waited with anticipation. It seemed to be taking a long time to brew so I lifted it up, only to find that the bottom had burnt out of it! In our eagerness to try it out, we had forgotten to put in the water. I never confessed to my brother. The coffee stayed in our cupboard for years because it had cost us so much I didn't have the heart to throw it out. Electric coffee makers are now the way to go. Enjoy it, Don. xx Moy
• in reply toMoyB
😱 Strewth! No need to throw that coffee out now, just open the door i would think it would walk out after all that time. 🤣
My sister in law went to get a hot chocolate from a machine at bingo, forgot to put the mug in , and came back with a red face and a mug just a quarter full. So you are not on your own Don, sure you will remember next time.
Don you are so funny 😂 I love reading your posts xxx
