A big mug of Milo: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo\_(drink)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_(drink))

Except I make it from the tinned powder, not those infidel pre-mixed packages shown at the top of that article.

I hate coffee in all its diabolical forms and though I like tea, it just doesn’t say ‘Morning!’ to my brain the way Milo does.

I practically live on Milo and Milo-based products. Milo bars, Milo cereal, Milo icecream…

a glass of water and a cup of “real” coffee with a little milk. The rare times I breakfast out i’ll have a cappucino.

It was coffee.  
Whatever instant Fairtrade stuff we have in th jar, with semi-skimmed milk and two sugars.

Then, when the pregnancy test went positive it was Irish Breakfast tea with semi-skimmed milk, because I still needed a little caffeine.

Now the morning sickness has kicked in and the smell of tea makes me sick it is whatever herbal tea I can stomach that morning- current winners are chamomile, green tea with mint and a ginger and lemon concoction.

I miss coffee.
